Everyone wants their kitchen remodels to go as smoothly as they see on TV, but renovation projects are rarely that simple. From getting the placement wrong to not picking the suitable materials, a lot can go wrong.
The plumbing portion of a kitchen remodel is generally smaller, but it’s not something you can ignore. Wasden Plumbing provides kitchen remodeling services in addition to plumbing services in Dallas. Our master plumbers offer tips to make it a success too!
Measure, Select, & Position
Kitchen cabinetry and appliances are expensive. An oven can cost between $1,250 and $2,500, and some can even go up to $4,000 for higher-end options. Measure everything, so you don’t have to buy things twice. There is a lot of pipework to consider before deciding to place any cabinetry and appliances. For instance, you’ll need to factor in sink height, the kitchen’s look, and the functionality of a sink.
You can add a double-basin sink if you have a big family and the space and budget for it. However, do remember your preferences too. For example, if you want the space to be well lit, place the sink next to a window. Similarly, avoid putting the sink on the island if you don’t like a cluttered look in your kitchen. You can ask your plumbing contractors for advice on where to place the appliances to get the look you want.
Don’t Forget About the Flooring
Many people put in the flooring around their appliances. It may seem like a great way to cut costs, but repairing or replacing the floor gets difficult this way. Instead of going around the appliances, install the flooring throughout the entire kitchen. Floor installation costs will be different depending on the material you’re installing. For example, tile installation can range from $13.50 to $83 per square foot.
Factor In Water Connections
If you’re remodeling and installing new appliances, you’ll need to factor in water connections where required. Are you getting a fridge with an ice maker and water filter? What about a dishwasher? If you’re getting such things, figure out how many new water connections are needed.
Install a ‘Stop Tap’
You should be future-proofing your renovations anyway, but you don’t want to forget this one. A plumbing company can install a stop tap underneath the kitchen sink. It will isolate the area in case of an emergency, like a dishwasher leak, hose burst, etc. In addition, the stop tap will make it easier to deal with emergencies.
