Your kitchen needs a new look and more functionality? Hesitating between renovating it yourself or hiring professionals? Before making your decision, we suggest you have a look at 5 good reasons to hire professionals to renovate your kitchen.

When it comes to renovations, everyone knows there is a lot of time and hard work involved. Choosing to do the work yourself means purchasing materials, executing the work, supervising electricity and plumbing, etc. If you already have a full-time job, that means several evenings and weekends will be spent working on your project. Keep in mind that you’ll also be living in a cluttered house for as long as the renovations take place. At the beginning of the project, you’ll probably be very motivated, but you’ll have to keep the pace until the end.

Hiring professionals to renovate your kitchen will ensure that the project will be completed at a much faster pace, since an experienced team will be taking care of everything. If you are refacing your kitchen (replacing your current cabinet doors with new ones without replacing the actual cabinets), the work could take as little as 1 to 2 days! Your kitchen will quickly be transformed before your very eyes.

Before moving forward, take some time to review your kitchen layout (if necessary). Can you make it more practical? Can you optimize your storage space? Our refacing experts have a lot of experience in this field and know all the storage tips and accessories that could make your life easier in your new kitchen (e.g.: corner cabinet system, optimize garbage/recycling space, storage for large utensils, sliding system for cabinets, etc.).

Be advised that from a legal standpoint, certain tasks must be handled by professionals. Examples include electrical work that requires an electrician, such as adding electrical outlets.

Renovation contractors are licensed by the RBQ (Régie du Bâtiment du Québec), which is responsible for enforcing construction laws and regulations. This way, you know that the work is properly executed and meets high quality standards. Your quartz lunch counter, for example, must have a maximum depth of 15 inches to prevent it from tipping over and also leave enough space for your legs when sitting on a stool.

Working with professionals, means you won’t have to buy or rent all the tools you need to renovate your kitchen. Renovation companies have their own well-stocked toolboxes.

They will also provide protective covers for your floors, and take care of transporting any renovation waste to a recycling center, eco-center or recycler once the renovation is complete.

In addition, a renovation company will assist you through every step of the way. Renovating a kitchen usually involves multiple specialists, whether it’s replacing cabinet doors, sinks/faucets, countertops, electrical outlets or installing the kitchen hood and ceramic backsplash.

Once the renovations are done, you will review everything with the project manager to make sure that all cabinet doors fit properly and that you are satisfied with the final result. Also, should one of your cabinet doors become damaged after a few months, simply look at the code on the inside surface of the door to order a new one. In this case, you can contact your renovation contractor and have him take care of it for you.

Trusting experts for your kitchen renovation has many advantages, and means you can be sure that the end result will meet your expectations.
