Week by Week: What Happens During a Kitchen Renovation in Milton?
Week 1 — Demolition & Preparation
The first week of your Milton kitchen renovation involves removing the old cabinets, countertops, flooring, and appliances. Any walls being removed are taken down, and rough-in work for plumbing and electrical begins.
Week 2 — Rough-In Work
Electricians and plumbers complete their rough-in work — moving outlets, adding circuits for new appliances, relocating plumbing if needed. This phase needs to be inspected and approved before walls can be closed.
Week 3 — Drywall & Prep
Once rough-in inspections pass, drywall is installed, taped, mudded, and sanded. Flooring preparation begins. This is also when backerboard for tile is installed.
Week 4 — Cabinet Installation
New cabinets are installed — one of the most exciting phases of your kitchen renovation. Upper and lower cabinets go in, and the kitchen starts to take shape.
Week 5 — Countertops & Backsplash
Countertops are templated, fabricated, and installed. Backsplash tile is installed. This phase transforms the look of your new Milton kitchen.
Week 6 — Finishing Work
Flooring is installed, appliances are connected, lighting fixtures are installed, and all final trim work is completed. Paint goes on and the kitchen comes together.
