Your task is to research and find the best professionals to realize your unique designs. An excellent place to start is to visit big- box stores and showrooms to get a look at every material available and pick up a few referrals.

Do a walk around with each prospective contractor to go every aspect of the kitchen remodel and get at least three different estimates that include timetables for completion and whether you need to add or subtract from your budget. Takedown a checklist of requirements for hiring a contractor and ask all the questions you have before signing a contract.

Demolition Day
