How we work
Our step-by-step kitchen renovation process
Consultation
We come to your home for about an hour, walk the space with you and leave you with a realistic budget range. We meet with you for a free in-home consultation to review your kitchen ideas.
Design
Our designer works through layout, cabinetry, finishes and lighting before a single tool comes out. You approve the drawings and the material list before we start building.
Build
Our own crew works to a week-by-week schedule, cleans up at the end of every day, and books the inspections.
Handover
We walk the finished kitchen with you, close out the punch list, and hand over your final documentation.
Building on the peninsula
Planning Nanoose Bay well and septic kitchens
Out on the peninsula the lots get bigger and the servicing changes. Many homes here rely on well water and septic fields. Before moving a sink or adding appliances, we check system capacity and bring in a plumber if needed. Deliveries also take longer to reach the far side of the peninsula, so we stage cabinetry and stone in one run and only start demolition once the material is on site and checked.

Checking water yield and septic capacity
Adding a dishwasher or second sink increases water usage and drainage demands. On municipal utilities this is minor, but septic fields require careful planning. On a private system it is worth checking first. We check your septic system age, type, and field location first. If your drain field runs near capacity, we avoid adding heavy plumbing fixtures to it. Daily water volume affects your septic field more than sudden usage spikes. Running a dishwasher once daily adds very little load to your system. We check your well pump, pressure tank, and water yield speed before moving plumbing. Long pipe runs to an island sink can lower pressure across all your household taps. If your water system runs near capacity, we bring in a plumber before finalizing plans. Sometimes keeping sinks in their current spots saves major utility costs.
Coordinating site deliveries on peninsula lots
Cabinetry, stone and appliances arrive from different suppliers on different lead times, and a delivery that cannot get up a driveway is a wasted day for everyone. We verify site access before ordering materials, then schedule deliveries in stages. Once cabinet boxes are installed, we template stone countertops directly against the physical units. Stone comes back roughly ten to fourteen days after templating. Appliances are held until the counters are in, because an appliance sitting in a half-built kitchen is a damage risk. We wait to start demolition until custom orders arrive and pass inspection. This keeps your old kitchen usable while waiting on cabinet or counter shipments.
