In Northeast Philly, Roxborough, Northern Liberties, and Mount Airy, a successful kitchen remodeler plan starts with layout verification—not showroom hype. Before you pick cabinets, confirm the things that cost real money if you miss them: appliance clearance, ventilation routing, electrical capacity, and plumbing placement.
Winter planning gives you time to measure correctly and avoid last-minute changes. We start by reviewing traffic flow and work zones (prep, cook, clean). Then we confirm the cabinet plan against real-world constraints: door swings, corner access, window trim depth, and floor levelness. After that, we plan lighting in layers—task lighting under cabinets, ambient ceiling lighting, and accent lighting that doesn’t glare.
If you’re also doing a bathroom remodel or tile installation, coordinating trades is key. Tile layout should be designed around focal points, not just “start in the corner.” The same logic applies to backsplashes and feature walls—symmetry, centered lines, and clean terminations.
Kitchen planning checklist:
- Range hood duct route (before cabinetry is finalized)
- Dedicated circuits for modern appliances
- Water shutoff access + leak protection strategy
- Cabinet layout that respects doorways and windows
