How to Prepare Yourself for a Kitchen Remodel
Depending on the kitchen remodeling company chosen, a homeowner might experience a longer waiting period than anticipated. Not having access to one’s kitchen for over a week can be a difficult obstacle to work around, but with the right amount of preparation, one can live comfortably for the time being. Homeowners who have families need to ensure that they will be able to feed them adequate meals while living without a functioning kitchen. The following is how to prepare yourself for a kitchen remodel.
Turn a Spare Room Into a Temporary Kitchen
While having access to one’s oven and stove top might not be a possibility during a kitchen remodel, there are other ways one can cook. In order to leave the kitchen as free as possible, homeowners can benefit from creating a temporary kitchen-room in their home. Selecting a room in the house that is free isn’t always a possibility, and so in a worst-case scenario, turning one’s living room into a temporary kitchen may be in order. By supplying the living room with a mini fridge, a micro wave, a coffee machine, and a pantry filled with food, a homeowner can have the means to a temporary kitchen.
Stock up on Disposables
Not everyone is going to own a mini-fridge, which is why stocking up on disposables will be key during one’s kitchen remodel. Homeowners living in West Bloomfield, MI, who are only having their kitchen countertops replaced might not have to worry about stocking up on disposables, but those who are performing a complete remodel may.
Plan Your Remodeling in the Summertime
In order to have the least amount of cooking-related worries, homeowners can benefit from planning their kitchen remodel to the summertime. This is because cooking can be made simple and fun by simply turning on the barbecue. Additionally, homeowners who have children will have an easier time planning meals during the summer, as they will not have to prepare any school lunches and snacks on a daily basis.
Plan a Small Vacation
Another perk of planning one’s kitchen remodel during the summertime is being able to take off on vacation with the entire family. Most kitchen remodeling companies do offer a quick turnaround time, and so going on a short vacation can be all that is needed.
Plan to Stay at a Friend or Family Member’s House
If taking a vacation isn’t an option, staying at a friend or relative’s home for about a week can be well worth it. Afterwards, homeowners can return to their homes and view their newly-remodeled and gorgeous kitchen in West

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.
Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen
We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.
We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.
We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
