Planning a Kitchen Reno Before Winter?
Jenny Campbell · · 2 replies
Hi everyone! As the summer starts to wind down, I'm getting serious about my kitchen renovation plans here in Montreal. I’ve noticed that many contractors are already booking up for the fall season, so I want to get on it quickly. I’m thinking about a modern aesthetic with some smart appliances and possibly an island. Has anyone done a kitchen reno recently? What were some challenges you faced, and do you have any recommendations for good contractors or design ideas? Let’s share our experiences!

Hey there! I get the urge to dive into a kitchen reno, especially with the fall season creeping in. But have you considered the hidden costs? It’s not just about the countertop and cabinets; there’s also labor, permits, and unexpected issues that can pop up. What about the disruption to your family routine? Living out of a kitchen for weeks can be a headache. Plus, do you really think you’ll get the same value from a modern aesthetic when trends change so fast? Just something to think about before you jump in!

Hey there! I get the excitement of a kitchen reno, but I have to ask—have you thoroughly considered your budget? It’s easy to get swept up in that modern aesthetic and smart appliances, but hidden costs can really add up, especially with unexpected structural issues or code requirements. Plus, if you’re hiring out, many contractors can be booked solid, which could delay your timeline and inflate costs. Have you thought about how to handle those potential hiccups?
