What to Expect During a Kitchen Remodel in San Jose

A kitchen remodel is one of the biggest projects most homeowners take on. Knowing what happens and when makes it a lot less stressful. Here is how a kitchen project works with GLS Construction.

1. Consultation

We come out, look at the kitchen and listen. What bugs you about it now? Not enough counter space, cabinets falling apart, a layout where two people cannot cook at once? We also talk about your style and your budget. Being honest about the budget at this stage saves time later, because it shapes every decision after this.

2. 3D design and planning

Next we design the new kitchen and show it to you in 3D before anything gets torn out. This is the cheapest point to change your mind. Moving an island on screen costs nothing. Moving it after the plumbing is roughed in costs real money.

Things worth thinking about here:

• Where you prep, cook and clean up, and how far you walk between them
• How much storage you actually use, and what goes in it
• Where you want outlets, under-cabinet lights and recessed lights
• Whether any walls should come out to open the room up

3. Material selection

Then you pick cabinets, countertops, backsplash tile, fixtures and flooring. We help you choose options that fit the design and the budget, and we will tell you where spending more is worth it and where it is not.

4. Construction and installation

Our crew does the demolition, any plumbing and electrical changes, then cabinets, counters, tile, lighting and appliances. We keep you updated through the whole build and finish with a walkthrough so you can check every detail.
