Design
How Do I Accurately Measure My Kitchen for Dimensions?
Follow these simple steps!
Draw an outline of the kitchen including doors and windows and note which way the door swings.
Draw in any plumbing/heating obstructions or anything else you don’t wish to move.
Starting at the left corner of your drawing, take measurements to the first window, door or wall. Keep measuring going clockwise making sure to include trim when measuring doors and windows. Next measure your ceiling height and note it in the center of your diagram.
Each window needs to be measured from the floor to the bottom of the window as well as the overall height of the window. Be sure to write these numbers down.
Beginning at the left corner, label each window and door accordingly (i.e. Window #1, Door #1, etc.). Write the name of any adjacent walls or exterior rooms that border each wall.
When measuring plumbing or heating obstructions or anything else that cannot be moved, measure from the two closest walls of the obstruction. Following that measure the height of the obstruction.
Last, make sure your numbers are correct by adding the measurements of parallel walls. Both sets should match accordingly.

Construction
How Long Does It Take to Remodel a Kitchen?
Design and construction are the two main phases in completing a kitchen. The homeowner holds a lot of the time element in his/her hands. If a design decision is made and adhered to, the process can be obtained fairly quickly. The products, however, can’t be ordered until a decision is made.
Custom cabinets usually arrive in 12 to 14 weeks while semi-custom will take 8 to 10 weeks. Some stock cabinets can arrive anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 weeks.
How Can I Prepare for A Kitchen Remodel?
Remodeling a kitchen can prove to be very messy. Common complaints include dust, delays, and additional costs. Packing up and moving your kitchen before construction begins is one way to fight dust. After that, protect everything that can’t be moved. Nearby rooms can be sealed with plastic sheeting and tape. You may want to ask for construction area to be swept daily.
Staying on time and on budget is imperative when redoing a kitchen. Some tips to help you stay on task involve good communication. If you are doing some of the work yourself, make sure the parties involved know who is responsible for what. Notify contractors of which entrances and bathrooms to use and also if there are any children or pets. It may be wise to leave a notebook for correspondence between you and the contractors.
Since you will most likely still be residing there, it is important to make sure you can still eat. A temporary kitchen housing a refrigerator, microwave, coffee-maker, table, trash can, etc. will be necessary. Crock pots, frozen foods, and restaurants will become fast friends with you during the construction period.

What Is the Difference Between Stock, Semi-Custom, and Custom Cabinets?
Stock cabinets are a standard size and are constructed prior to purchase. These are the most affordable but have limited door styles, wood species, accessories, and finishes. These are usually ready in about 3-4 weeks. Semi-custom cabinets have more sizes to choose from and a wider range of doors, finishes, and wood selections. Custom cabinets are the third type consisting of just about anything you can imagine. These cabinets can come in just about any size, style, material, or finish. Custom is the costliest type of cabinetry and take at least 10 to 12 weeks to deliver.
