If you’re thinking about a Durham kitchen remodel, you likely have many questions and ideas floating around in your head. One thing that may not be at the top of your mind is how important it is to keep your kitchen remodel on schedule and budget. At Prince & Sons, we’ve been performing kitchen renovations for Durham residents for well over a decade, and in that time, we’ve developed a detailed process to help our clients keep their renovations on schedule. In this blog, we’ll highlight a few tips to keep your project on time and within budget to reduce stress for you and your contractor.
Tips to Keep your Durham Kitchen Remodel on Schedule
Below are a few tips for planning a kitchen renovation in your Durham home.
- Work With a Reputable General Contractor – To ensure your kitchen renovation goes as smoothly as possible, work with a licensed and reputable general contractor. A local general contractor will have a strong network of experienced subcontractors and will be well-versed in working with local municipalities to ensure permits are filed correctly and that your finished kitchen is everything you’ve ever dreamed of. Contractors like our team at Prince & Sons work with the same subcontractors and know many of the local Durham city inspectors by name, making the construction process much smoother than a DIY kitchen remodel.
- Layout And Stick To A Kitchen Remodeling Schedule – Sticking to a schedule is essential in any home remodeling project. At Prince & Sons, we create a shareable Google calendar at the start of each project. This calendar allows our team and clients to know precisely what is scheduled for any given day. There’s no doubt that small shifts will be necessary depending on circumstances, but having an online schedule ensures everyone is on the same page related to your kitchen remodel.
- Avoid Major Changes – It’s probably obvious, but it can still be difficult when you’re in the middle of a large home renovation project to avoid sudden changes. Any changes during a renovation project can drastically impact the overall cost and schedule. Once you have the final plans for your kitchen renovation, you’ll want to do everything possible to reduce additional changes.
- Work With A Design & Build Firm – An integrated design & build team can help keep your project on schedule and within budget. At Prince & Sons, we offer complete design services, which allows us to work with you to design every part of your project. Because we’re general contractors, we often spot potential problems before they happen. As opposed to when you work with separate design and build teams, you may miss out on issues until construction has started. We’ve found that offering our design & build service to our clients makes the entire project flow much smoother.
