Thinking about remodeling your kitchen? It all starts with the removal — and trust us, a proper demolition is more than just swinging a sledgehammer. At HKF Construction, we guide homeowners in Medford, Somerville, Arlington, Belmont, and surrounding towns through the entire kitchen remodeling process — from demo day to the final cabinet handle.
Whether you’re upgrading for style, storage, or better use of space, here’s what you can expect.
Step 1: Planning the Kitchen Removal
Before the first cabinet comes off the wall, we carefully:
- Shut off water, gas, and electric lines safely
- Protect surrounding areas (floors, doorways, nearby rooms)
- Identify which walls, soffits, or structures may stay or go
- Salvage appliances or fixtures if needed
Kitchen demo can take 1–3 days depending on the size and complexity — and it sets the tone for the entire remodel.
Step 2: Structural and System Updates
Once the kitchen is stripped down to studs or subfloor, we can:
- Reframe walls or open up the layout
- Reroute plumbing, electrical, and HVAC to fit the new design
- Prepare for recessed lighting, new outlets, islands, and more
- Level and reinforce floors if needed
This is where smart planning pays off — and where we make sure your new kitchen meets code and functions for your daily life.
Step 3: The Fun Part — Design and Finishes
With the structure in place, it’s time to bring your vision to life. We help you select and install:
- Cabinetry (custom, semi-custom, or stock)
- Countertops (quartz, granite, butcher block, and more)
- Backsplash tile
- Lighting fixtures
- Flooring (tile, wood, LVP, etc.)
- Appliances and venting
- Paint and trim
We work with you to balance style, function, and budget — and we always provide samples, guidance, and layout visuals before anything is installed.
Step 4: Final Touches and Inspection
Once everything is installed, we take care of:
- Final paint touch-ups
- Sealing countertops and tile
- Hardware installation
- Deep cleaning
- Final walkthrough
- Permit closure and inspection (if required)
Our goal is a seamless finish — with every drawer sliding smoothly and every light switch exactly where you want it.
