Very informative video! Thanks a lot
Leah, I thank you for giving a good explanation of the major items in a kitchen remodel. One thing that I have learned is that the backsplash can make a huge difference in a remodel's usefulness. The tiny tiles that you showed can be a real pain in the backside to keep clean if you cook (especially fry) quite a bit. I ran solid granite up to the upper cabinets and as a result, I never need to paint below the cabinets and it's a snap to clean. They do match the counter tops and go with the wall paint and floors.
Finally a home owner and having to do a lot of work. Your videos have helped out so much.
Thanks, Leah. Keep those videos coming. I’ve introduced you to my brothers, and the love your vids. Be well!
Hi Leah, as a installer of many kitchens you are on point with your four pillars and the cost of changing one minds in the middle of construction is on point. This is a pain for contractors and a killer of our reputations being delayed on a job and missing an on time start of another. How I avoid this, is at the first sitdown, I ask, "what is your budget?" If their budget doesn't come close to covering their square footage of kitchen, I give them an idea what they would need to spend at the bottom end of the least expensive items to their projected dream kitchen. When they think about a change, I always refer back to THEIR budget. This usually reigns them in and keep things under control with costly change orders. If one were to do this on their own my advice….STAY WITHIN YOUR BUDGET!
The biggest physical mistake they make is not measuring the access and entry doors to make sure that dream appliance can actually come into the home. This is a major problem for co-op and condo home owners in apartment complexes. And in many kitchens where the appliance might fit it chosen space but did not take in account the swing of doors, utilities and placement of outlets.
Everytime a client tell me that she has to many outlets, on a revisit, I always find those outlets being utilize. LOL! Here, IS TO KNOW YOUR FUNCTIONAL SPACE!

Leah this is the best advice ever, as a electrical contractor I can tell you first hand construction cost double when you change your mind.
