A Remodeling Checklist

Before you tear out the first cabinet or knock down walls, here are issues to consider.

  • How long do we expect to live in this house?
  • What do I like about my existing kitchen? What do I want to change?
  • Do I have adequate storage and counter space? Do my appliances do what I need?
  • How many cooks regularly work together in the kitchen?
  • What other activities take place in the kitchen?
  • How will my family change over the next few years?
