KNOWLEDGE BASE

Kitchen Remodel — What's Actually Involved

What a kitchen remodel actually includes

A kitchen remodel isn't cabinets and counters.
It's structure, electrical load, plumbing layout, wall strength, and floor prep.

The kitchen has more weight, more power draw, and more daily use than almost any room in the house. If the stuff behind the walls isn't right, problems show up fast. That's why many kitchen projects also require structural repairs or proper flooring installation before the finish work begins.

Common Shortcuts That Cause Problems Later

These are the big ones:

Cabinets hung into drywall only

No wall blocking for cabinet weight

Old wiring reused to save time

Overloaded circuits

Flooring skipped under cabinets

Plumbing connections buried without access

They don't always fail right away. They fail once the kitchen is loaded and being used.

How a Kitchen Remodel is Done Correctly

(Step by step)

1

Layout Confirmation

Before anything comes out, appliance locations, cabinet layout, and clearances are confirmed.

Changing this later gets expensive fast.

2

Demo and Exposure

Walls and floors are opened as needed to access plumbing, electrical, and framing.

You can't upgrade systems without seeing them.

3

Electrical and Plumbing Rough-In

Dedicated circuits are added where required. Plumbing is adjusted for sink, dishwasher, fridge, or gas appliances.

Everything is tested before walls are closed.

4

Wall Prep and Cabinet Blocking

Solid blocking is installed so cabinets are anchored into framing, not drywall.

Cabinets are heavy once loaded.

5

Flooring and Cabinet Install

Subfloor is inspected and corrected first. Flooring is installed properly, then cabinets are set level and secured.

6

Countertops, Finishes, and Final Connections

Counters go in after cabinets are locked in. Appliances are connected, tested, and adjusted.

Materials & Terminology

(Plain English)

Cabinet Blocking

Extra framing inside the wall so cabinets are bolted into wood, not drywall.

Dedicated Circuit

A power line used only for one appliance. Prevents tripping breakers and overheating.

Subfloor Leveling

Correcting dips or flex so cabinets and counters stay square.

GFCI / AFCI Outlets

Safety outlets required near water and in living spaces.

Code Requirements

(Why they exist)

Kitchens have more code requirements than most rooms because of fire and shock risk.

Outlet Spacing Rules

So cords don't stretch

GFCI Protection Near Sinks

Prevents electrical shock

AFCI Protection

For fire prevention

Dedicated Circuits

For appliances

Proper Venting for Range Hoods

Removes smoke, steam, and cooking odors

These rules exist because kitchens are where most house fires start.

Visual Breakdown — What's Behind the Cabinets

When you see cabinets on the wall, you're only seeing the finish.

Behind them should be:

1
Cabinet Box
2
Fasteners into Framing
3
Solid Blocking
4
Stud Wall

If cabinets are screwed into drywall only, they will loosen over time.

Kitchen cabinets can hold hundreds of pounds when fully loaded with dishes, food, and appliances. Drywall alone cannot support this weight.

Red Flags Homeowners Should Watch For

If you hear any of these, pause:

"Cabinets don't need blocking"

Wrong. They absolutely do.

"The existing wiring is fine"

Not for modern appliances.

"We'll just add outlets later"

That's not how electrical code works.

"We'll make it work"

Famous last words.

Kitchens don't like "we'll make it work."

Smart Questions Homeowners Should Ask Any Contractor

Clear answers matter here

?

How are the cabinets being anchored?

You should hear: "We're installing blocking in the walls so they're secured to framing."

?

Are new circuits being added or reused?

Modern kitchens need dedicated circuits for major appliances. Reusing old wiring is a red flag.

?

Is the flooring going under the cabinets or stopping at the toe kick?

Flooring under cabinets allows for future changes and prevents issues with appliance fit.

?

What happens if we find old wiring during demo?

A good contractor has a clear process and pricing structure for unexpected issues.

Why Skipping Steps Costs More Later

Kitchen problems show up as:

Tripped Breakers

Overloaded circuits fail constantly

Loose Cabinets

Doors sag and don't close right

Cracked Countertops

From uneven cabinet support

Sagging Floors

Weak subfloors can't handle weight

Appliance Failures

Bad wiring damages expensive equipment

Plumbing Leaks

Hidden connections fail

Fixing these after the kitchen is done usually means tearing things back out.

Do it right the first time. It's always cheaper.
