HOW TO REMODEL YOUR KITCHEN

  • When it comes to remodeling your kitchen, you’ll probably have a thousand questions.
    From what type of cabinets should I use, to can I remove this wall? There are so many factors to consider that we would love to help you with.

  • Our CoCon family is here to help you with every question along the way.
    First, we’ll work together to create your vision, while working within the constraints of your home and budget.
    We’ve done enough kitchens to add some great suggestions when it comes to kitchen layouts, wall removals, and overall functionality.
    Then, our industry-leading renovation contractors will get to work, building your dream kitchen!

  • Based on your preferences we can introduce unique and custom design features such as, kitchen islands, hood ranges, and wine racks.  We can do off-the-shelf IKEA cabinets (with some customization), semi-custom options (more design and colour choices), or full custom-made kitchen cabinets.

  • In the end?
    You get a space that brings together show-stopping design with must-have functionality.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

ABOUT RENOVATING YOUR KITCHEN

During our initial meeting, it is important to ask questions about your renovation project. Sometimes it can be hard to know what are the right questions?

Some common questions we get asked:

DOES THE EXISTING LAYOUT OF MY KITCHEN WORK?

The workflow of your kitchen is important.  You need to establish what your kitchen requirements are for your workspace, cupboard room, countertop space, appliance layout, room for entertaining, etc.

We’ll look at your existing layout to provide suggestions on how we can perhaps improve it to meet your kitchen requirements.

HOW EXPENSIVE WILL MY KITCHEN RENOVATION BE?

This depends entirely on your kitchen renovation vision.

We’ll take your requirements and budget into mind, bringing your dream kitchen to life without breaking the bank.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RENOVATE MY KITCHEN & WHEN CAN YOU START?

This is determined by the size of the kitchen renovation project, however they typically fall between 3 to 16 weeks.

During our initial meeting, we can better estimate the duration of your project based on the requirements.  We can also discuss the timing that works best for both of us to ensure we minimize kitchen downtime and complete your kitchen project on time and on budget.

SHOULD I USE IKEA CABINETS, GO FULL CUSTOM, OR SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN?

This is a tough question, heavily dependent on your budget, kitchen layout, and design requirements.

IKEA cabinets are the most affordable option but are limited in options both in sizes and designs.  These are our specialties and we have some tricks to give them that custom kitchen look.

We work with some amazing suppliers who offer a similar product as IKEA cabinets but with more styles, colours, and finish options.  The prices here would surprise you, often only being slightly more than the IKEA options.

At the top end of the spectrum is full custom.  We work with some incredibly talented local cabinet makers who can provide you with the most amazing cabinets in any size, finish, or style you desire.  The options here are limitless!

We can help identify which options are best for you, to build that dream kitchen.

THINGS TO CONSIDER FOR A SUCCESSFUL KITCHEN RENOVATION

PLANNING

Planning is the most important step in your renovation process.  This is where most of the major decisions should be made.

Depending on the size of the project and your design skills, you may want to do this yourself. We can definitely help with the basics, giving you a great kitchen design.

When we need to bring in the pros, we work with some amazing world class local designers in Regina.

CABINETS

Cabinets become the focal point of your kitchen, so it’s important to make the right choice that fits both your design aesthetic and budget.  With so many different options, styles, and colours to chose from, let us walk you through the pros and cons of each.

BACKSPLASH

Aside from your cabinets, your backsplash is the next most noticeable item in your kitchen.  The options here are enormous, with a verity of different textiles, sizes, designs, and even layout patterns. We work with some amazing suppliers who can help you find the backsplash of your dreams.

APPLIANCES

Appliances can often be an after-thought during a kitchen renovation.  It’s important to know at least what sizes and colours you plan to go with, if you haven’t picked these out beforehand.  This will ensure the appliances match the style of the new kitchen and more importantly, fit the space appropriately.

COUNTERTOPS

Your kitchen countertops should of course add to the design of your kitchen, however they also need to hold up to the demands of your everyday use.  With several different material options (each with endless colour selections), we can help you make the best choice for your kitchen countertop needs.

LIGHTING

Lighting plays such an important role on showcasing your kitchen renovation.  Under-cabinet lighting is both functional, as well as a great way to highlight your new countertops.  Pot lights, pendants, and fixtures can add those finishing touches and draw the eye to specific areas of your beautiful kitchen.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The other general contractor I reached out to can do it for ‘x’ amount. Will you price match?2022-10-17T18:31:25+00:00

In the kindest, most sincere way, our answer to this question is – “Unfortunately, no. We do not price match.” While we recognize we aren’t the only general contractor around, we certainly feel like the full experience, services, and results we deliver merit our cost. We are much more concerned with delivering 100% satisfaction to you than what our competitors are charging.

 

Can I work with you if I’m not hiring an interior designer?2022-10-17T22:13:47+00:00

Absolutely! We’ve been doing this for long enough now that we are more than capable of walking you through the process of laying out your room, choosing your appliances and textiles and all of the other fun stuff that comes along with doing a renovation.

With that said, if your project requires any type of permit (ie: moving walls, additions, major plumbing or electrical changes, etc.) then we would need professional plans drawn up that we can submit to the city for approval. This is where we would bring an interior designer into the picture. They will sit down with you to discuss how your space works now, what’s not working, and your vision. From there, they can give you a non-biased view of any potential areas for improvement they see and create a set of drawings. These drawings lay out all aspects of your reno clearly which allows us to provide an accurate quote and get the permissions required to move forward. If your plans require additional certifications (such as a stamp from an engineer), we will help facilitate that.

How much will my project cost?2022-10-17T18:31:26+00:00

We wish we could give you a cost right here, right now! Unfortunately, in the world of renovations, every single project is unique.  We would love to meet with you to discuss what you’re looking for so that we can put together a plan that is specific to the needs of your project. Our estimates are detailed, transparent, and customized to incorporate all of the work required for us to deliver you a five-star renovation experience!

Let us help you plan, design and execute the renovation of your dreams!
