What to Expect During a Kitchen or Bath Remodel
Thinking about remodeling your kitchen or bathroom? It’s one of the best ways to increase your home’s comfort, functionality, and value—but it’s also a project that comes with a lot of questions. At Payne Construction, we understand that stepping into a remodel can feel overwhelming at first. That’s why we’re here to walk you through exactly what to expect, from the first consultation to the final reveal, so you can feel confident every step of the way. Here’s a step-by-step look at what you can expect during a typical kitchen or bath remodel with Payne Construction.
1. Initial Consultation and Design Planning
Your remodel starts with a consultation where we discuss your ideas, goals, and budget. We take measurements, assess the current layout, and talk through design inspirations. You’ll work with our experienced team to select materials, finishes, fixtures, and layouts that suit your style and lifestyle.
Pro Tip: Bring inspiration photos and a wish list—it helps us understand your vision!
2. Detailed Proposal and Timeline
Once the design is nailed down, we’ll provide a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work, cost estimates, and project timeline. Transparency is a top priority, so we ensure you know what’s happening and when.
3. Permits and Preparations
For Gainesville-area remodels, certain projects may require permits. Payne Construction handles all the paperwork and coordination with local building departments, so you don’t have to stress about red tape.
In this phase, we also prep the site by protecting surrounding areas to minimize dust and disruption.
4. Demolition
Once everything’s ready, demolition begins. This is where the old is removed to make room for the new. Depending on the size of your kitchen or bathroom, demolition can take anywhere from a day to several days.
Don’t worry—we handle debris removal and ensure your home is safe and clean throughout.
5. Rough-In Work: Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC
With the old materials gone, our licensed professionals update or reconfigure plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC components. This step ensures your remodel is not only beautiful but also up to code and functional for years to come.
6. Inspections (When Required)
Local building codes in Gainesville often require inspections at key stages. If inspections are needed, we schedule them and make sure everything is in compliance.
7. Installation and Build-Out
Now comes the fun part—watching your new kitchen or bathroom come to life! This phase includes:
-
Cabinet installation
-
Countertops and tile work
-
Flooring
-
Appliance or fixture installation
-
Painting and finishing touches
We keep you updated every step of the way so there are no surprises.
8. Final Walkthrough and Cleanup
Once your remodel is complete, we conduct a thorough final walkthrough with you. We’ll make sure everything meets your expectations and address any final touch-ups. We also ensure the space is spotless and ready for you to enjoy.
9. Enjoy Your New Space!
Your dream kitchen or bath is now a reality. Whether you’re hosting friends or unwinding in your new spa-like bathroom, you’ll enjoy the comfort, beauty, and increased home value your remodel brings.
