A full kitchen renovation in Pawtucket means one contractor who handles everything — demo, plumbing, electrical, framing, cabinets, countertops, flooring, backsplash, appliance installation, and all the finish work in between. No homeowner coordinating four different trades on their own schedule. No gaps between what one contractor finished and what the next one assumes was done.
In Pawtucket's older homes, a full renovation is not just a cosmetic project. It is a structural one. The kitchen in a triple-decker built in 1902 was not designed for the way anyone uses a kitchen today. The plumbing supply may be a single cold-water line added to the house years after it was built. The drain configuration may not support a dishwasher. The wiring may not support the load of a modern kitchen's appliances. The walls contain decades of decisions — some of them good, some of them creative, some of them alarming.
Opening those walls is what a full renovation requires. And opening those walls in a Pawtucket mill-era home is what we do.
A full renovation is right when:
- The layout doesn't work and needs to be redesigned
- Plumbing or electrical needs to be brought up to current requirements
- You want the kitchen rebuilt correctly from scratch
- You're ready for a complete transformation, not an update on top of existing problems
What a full renovation includes:
- Complete demolition
- Plumbing rough-in — supply and drain configured for the new layout
- Electrical rough-in — adequate capacity for a modern kitchen
- Structural work — opening walls, installing headers, reconfiguring the space where the design requires it
- Cabinet installation — custom, semi-custom, or stock, fitted correctly to walls that aren't plumb
- Countertop fabrication and installation
- Backsplash tile
- Flooring
- Appliance installation
- All trim, paint, and finish work
What to expect from the process
We start with a walkthrough and a conversation. We look at what you have, ask about what you want, and tell you honestly what the kitchen requires — not what we can sell you. In a Pawtucket older home, that sometimes includes information you weren't expecting: a plumbing configuration that needs to be addressed, a structural wall that complicates the open-concept layout you were picturing, an electrical panel that needs to be evaluated before the project begins.
We tell you this before we start. We provide a detailed written proposal. We manage the project from first demo to final walkthrough. When we're done, you sign off on every detail before we close the job.
