Kitchen Renovation Checklist: Everything You Need to Know Before Remodeling

by | Mar 5, 2025

Before diving into material selections, start by answering these two key questions:

 

1. What is Your Budget?

Your budget will determine what’s possible, from cabinetry and appliances to layout changes. At BEC Innovations, we provide a detailed breakdown of costs to help you invest wisely.


2. Wha
t is Your Timeline?

Kitchen renovations take time, especially when factoring in custom cabinetry, permits, and material lead times. Understanding your ideal start and completion dates helps us plan accordingly.

 

The Key Decisions in Your Kitchen Remodel

 

Cabinetry: The First Big Decision

Your cabinets set the foundation for your kitchen’s layout and overall style. When selecting cabinetry, consider:
✔️ Custom, semi-custom, or stock options
✔️ Door style, color, and finish
✔️ Storage solutions like deep drawers, pull-outs, and hidden organizers

Since cabinetry impacts other material selections, it’s one of the first choices to finalize.

Choosing the Right Tile for Your Kitchen

Tile adds personality and function to a kitchen. Consider:
✔️ Backsplash vs. flooring (or both!)
✔️ Material options: ceramic, porcelain, glass, or natural stone
✔️ Tile pattern and grout choices to enhance design

Selecting the Best Appliances for Your Space

Appliances affect both functionality and design. Think about:
✔️ Standard vs. built-in or panel-ready options
✔️ Gas vs. electric cooktops and ovens
✔️ Additional features like smart technology or energy efficiency

 

Kitchen Flooring Options: What to Consider

Your kitchen floor needs to withstand daily wear. Popular options include:
✔️ Tile – durable and water-resistant
✔️ Hardwood – warm and timeless
✔️ Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) – affordable and low-maintenance

 

Fixtures & Finishes: The Final Touches

The right fixtures elevate your kitchen’s style and functionality. Key decisions include:
✔️ Sink style – farmhouse, undermount, or integrated
✔️ Faucet finish – matte black, brushed nickel, or polished chrome
✔️ Lighting – statement pendants, under-cabinet lighting, or recessed lights

 

Putting It All Together

 

A well-planned kitchen renovation is a stress-free renovation. At BEC Innovations, we guide you through every decision—ensuring your space is both beautiful and functional.
