Refreshing Kitchen Renovations and Basement Remodelling

It will depend on the extent of the work. If it is a partial remodel, you may have access to the unaffected area while ensuring safety. However, for more extensive projects, kitchen functionality might be limited. During this time, you may need to set up a temporary kitchen in a dust-free room, using a cooler for refrigerated items and a microwave or camping stove for cooking. There is also the option to do some grilling outside on pleasant days.

One approach is to opt for cost-effective materials or repurpose existing ones. However, a more effective approach might involve narrowing the scope of your remodel by concentrating on your top priorities only so you can use high-quality materials. You can then address lower-priority aspects of the remodel at a later date when your budget permits.

Municipal regulations mandate the acquisition of a permit for construction or remodeling projects, with permit costs depending on the city and project size. As part of our service, we handle the permits for your project and add them to the overall project cost.

We minimize the mess by containing dust with a plastic zipper partition as well as other situational precautions. We also use basement entry points for our workers to avoid tracking debris upstairs, and we strive to maintain cleanliness throughout. Once the project is complete, a professional cleaning team will ensure your newly renovated space is move-in ready.

There are many factors that go into pricing your kitchen remodel - do any walls need to be removed or reframed? Will we be replacing the flooring or windows? Can your existing cabinets be refinished?

That being said, an average budget of around $35,000-$45,000 is enough for a high quality kitchen remodel in many situations (with new cabinets, granite or quartz countertops, appliances, etc.)

However every situation is different and when it comes to kitchens, there are many decisions to be made - based on not only the vision of the homeowner but also the circumstances of the home.

There are many parts and pieces to coordinate in a kitchen remodel - plumbing, electrical, cabinets, countertops, appliances. After decisions and proper planning, you can expect your kitchen remodel to take 2-3 months.

At Composite Carpentry, we work very hard to coordinate with you to ensure that you and your household can function well and comfortably during the time that you wait for your new kitchen.

Kitchen design trends evolve over time, but some popular elements include open concept layouts, kitchen islands with seating, shaker-style cabinets, quartz or marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, and energy-efficient lighting. However, it's important to choose design elements that align with your personal style and functional needs rather than just following trends.

Finishing the average basement using some of the more popular material choices can be expected to cost anywhere from $40,000-$60,000 on average.

Similar to kitchens, there are a lot of parts and pieces to coordinate with finishing a basement and the process can take anywhere from 1-3 months.
