Kitchen Remodeling Guide
For many households, the kitchen is more than just a place to cook—it provides an ideal area to gather with family and friends, help kids with homework, or share a late-night snack. Whether your kitchen could use a bit of minor updating, it lacks the latest conveniences, or it could use major work to keep up with the demands of a growing family, remodeling the space can be a great way to improve the looks, value, and performance of your kitchen.
Kitchen remodeling can be an intimidating task, but by planning carefully, breaking the process into manageable steps, and working with a knowledgeable, experienced contractor, it can be quite rewarding and enjoyable.

Finding Kitchen Remodeling Inspiration
Remodeling your kitchen gives you the chance to go beyond simply making the space more useful and convenient. It also allows you to incorporate your style and design ideas, creating your dream kitchen and making the room truly your own. It all begins by choosing layouts, materials, and styles that fit your unique tastes. Some great places to find inspiration include:
- Our portfolio of completed kitchen remodeling projects at Blackdog
- Home design and decor magazines
- Home improvement websites and blogs
- Design and home improvement videos
- Browsing local home improvement stores
Create a scrapbook or journal of design ideas, printed photographs, magazine pages, product literature, and fabric or paint samples to help you plan your project and to show to your contractor during the design phase.
Choosing a Kitchen Design Contractor
Selecting a contractor with the experience, talent, and communication skills necessary for your project will be crucial to its successful completion.
To find a qualified, reputable kitchen remodeling contractor, be sure to:
- Ask for bids from several companies
- Choose a company with plenty of experience and positive reviews
- View before and after photos of their completed projects
