The Ultimate Guide to Planning a Flawless Kitchen Remodel - 2025 Edition

Why Proper Planning is Everything

At Mile High Renovation, we've completed 200+ kitchen remodels across Colorado. The difference between a stressful project and your dream kitchen? Strategic planning. This guide walks you through our proven 5-step process.

Step 1: Define Your Goals & Budget

Ask Yourself:

☑ "How do we actually use this kitchen?" (Family meals? Entertaining?)
☑ "What absolutely must change?" (Storage? Layout? Appliances?)
☑ "What’s our realistic budget?"

Pro Tip: Allocate 15% of your budget for unexpected issues (common in older Denver homes).

Step 2: Design Like a Pro

Must-Consider Elements:

A. Workflow Zones

  • The "Golden Triangle" (fridge-sink-range spacing)
  • Landing areas near appliances
  • Multiple cooks? Consider dual prep zones

B. Colorado-Specific Factors

  • Altitude adjustments for appliance performance
  • UV-resistant materials for sun-filled rooms
  • Durable flooring for snowy boots

Step 3: Choose Your Team Wisely

Colorado Contractor Checklist:

✓ Licensed & insured
✓ Local showroom/physical address
✓ Workmanship warranty
✓ Detailed written contract

Tip: Avoid any contractor who won’t pull proper permits.

Step 4: Prepare for the Remodel

Your 2-Week Countdown:

  • Set up a temporary kitchen (microwave, toaster oven, coffee station)
  • Protect flooring in pathways
  • Confirm delivery dates for all materials

Colorado Bonus: Schedule deliveries for mornings to avoid afternoon storms.

Step 5: Navigate the Installation

What to Expect Week-by-Week:

Week 1: Demolition & rough-ins (dustiest phase)
Week 2-3: Cabinets/countertops installed
Week 4: Finishing touches (hardware, paint)

Most Common Colorado Mistakes to Avoid

  • Underestimating lighting needs (Add 25% more than you think)
  • Ignoring ventilation (Critical for high-altitude cooking)
