How big is the project

Six levels of kitchen project, from light to major

Knowing which level you are at helps a contractor tell you what is realistic.

01

A cosmetic refresh

Paint, hardware, lighting or a new backsplash, with the layout unchanged.

02

New cabinets or refacing

Replacing or refinishing cabinets, often the biggest single cost and the biggest visual change.

03

Countertops and surfaces

New counters, sink, backsplash and sometimes flooring.

04

Appliances and lighting

New appliances, ventilation and lighting, which can need electrical or gas work.

05

A full remodel

New cabinets, surfaces, appliances, lighting and finishes, usually with trades such as plumbing and electrical.

06

Changing the layout

Moving walls, plumbing or gas lines. This is the most involved work and usually needs permits.

What a quote should include

Six things to look for in a kitchen remodeling quote

01

Cabinets and countertops

The materials, brands and finishes, so you can compare like with like.

02

Appliances and fixtures

Which are included, and who orders and supplies them.

03

Labor and trades

Who does the plumbing, electrical and any structural work, and whether it is the contractor's own team.

04

Demolition and disposal

Removal of the old kitchen and hauling it away.

05

Permits and inspections

Who applies for them and whether the cost is in the quote.

06

Allowances and change orders

What happens to the price if you choose something different or the contractor finds a problem.

Before you sign

Six things to ask any remodeling contractor before signing

01

Are you licensed and insured?

Ask for the license number and proof of insurance, then check them with your state or local board.

02

What is in the written contract?

The scope, the price, the schedule and the materials, in writing.

03

How does payment work?

Ask for the schedule and whether payments are tied to progress.

04

Who orders materials, and what are the lead times?

Cabinets and appliances can take weeks, which sets the timeline.

05

How do you handle changes?

Ask how extra work is priced and approved, before it is done.

06

What is warrantied, and how do you clean up?

Ask what is covered, for how long, and how the site is protected and left.

Good to Know

Questions about Namoye

How much does a kitchen remodel cost?

It varies widely with the size of the kitchen, how much you change, the materials and appliances you choose, and where you live. Namoye doesn't set prices. Ask for a written, itemized quote that shows what is included.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

It depends on the scope and on how long cabinets and appliances take to arrive. Ask the contractor for a written schedule and what could change it.

Do I need a permit?

Often, if the work involves structural, electrical, plumbing or gas changes. The rules differ by city and county, and the contractor should explain what is needed and handle it.

Should I hire a designer or a contractor first?

It depends on the project. Some contractors offer design and building together. A larger layout change often benefits from design help first. Ask each contractor what they provide.

How should I pay for the work?

Rules on deposits differ by state. A common approach is a modest deposit and then payments tied to progress. Be wary of a large payment upfront, and get the schedule in the contract.

What if problems turn up behind the walls?

Older homes can have surprises, such as outdated wiring or damp. Ask how extra work is priced and approved, and make sure any change is agreed in writing before it happens.

Can I stay in the house during the remodel?

Usually, but you may be without a kitchen for a while. Ask the contractor how they plan to manage dust, water and power shutoffs, and what you should arrange in the meantime.

Does the contractor need to be licensed?

Rules differ by state and sometimes by city. Ask for the license number and proof of insurance, check them with your licensing board, and ask for recent references.

What should I have ready?

What you want to change, a rough budget and timeline, photos of the kitchen, and your ZIP code. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.

Is Namoye a remodeling company?

No. Namoye is a free matching service. It doesn't do the work, price it or guarantee it. The contractor who contacts you is responsible for the job and the quote.

Will several contractors call me, and does it cost anything?

No to both. A verified contractor contacts you, and Namoye is free for you.
