The Process

How We Remodel Your Kitchen

01

Design, Layout & Cabinet Ordering

Step 1
Cabinets have the longest lead time in the whole project, so the design has to be settled before anything else moves. We plan the layout around how you actually cook.
  • Layout and Work Triangle: Appliance placement and clearances planned before cabinets are ordered.
  • Drawings Approved: You sign off on measured drawings, so what arrives is what you expected.
  • Cabinets Ordered Early: Lead times built into the schedule instead of discovered halfway through.
02

Permits, Demolition & Structural Changes

Step 2
Removing a wall or moving a gas line changes the permit picture. We handle that, then take the kitchen apart with containment in place.
  • Permits and Inspections: Pulled with Onslow County, including structural review where a wall is coming out.
  • Dust Containment: Sealed barriers and floor protection, since kitchen dust travels through the whole house.
  • Structural Work: Headers and beams sized and installed by licensed trades where openings change.
03

Mechanical Rough-In & Surfaces

Step 3
Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC go in before the walls close, then drywall, paint, and flooring get done in the right order.
  • Electrical, Plumbing and HVAC: Circuits, dedicated appliance runs, venting, and supply lines brought to code and inspected.
  • Drywall and Paint: Walls and ceilings finished before cabinets arrive, which is far easier than cutting in around them.
  • Flooring Installed: Laid before cabinets where the material calls for it, so nothing is trapped or gapped.
04

Cabinets, Counters & Punch List

Step 4
Cabinets are set and levelled, counters templated to the installed cabinets, then we work a punch list with you.
  • Cabinets Set and Levelled: Scribed to walls and floors, since no house in this county is perfectly square.
  • Counters Templated After Install: Measured off the real cabinets rather than the drawings, so seams and overhangs land right.
  • Punch List and Warranty: We walk it with you, fix what you flag, and issue the workmanship warranty.

Full-Service Kitchen Remodeling

Kitchen remodels fail when the sequence is wrong: demo happens before cabinets are ordered, walls come down before beams are sized, counters get templated before cabinets are leveled. We plan every kitchen remodel backward from the final punch list so every step happens in the right order and your kitchen is offline for the shortest possible time.

The Details

What You Should Know Before You Hire

Kitchen Remodeling Contractors in Jacksonville NC

Parade Rest Services handles full kitchen remodels from design through punch list for homeowners throughout Jacksonville, Swansboro, Richlands, and the surrounding communities. As a licensed NC General Contractor with in-house project management, we handle every trade (plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, tile, countertops, flooring) so you're not chasing five different subs.

Designed Before Demoed

Rushing into demolition is the number-one mistake we see DIY and low-end kitchen remodels make. Custom cabinets and quartz counters have 6-10 week lead times, and ordering late means your kitchen is torn apart for weeks longer than it needs to be. We finalize layout, order materials, and confirm delivery before we touch a single cabinet door.

Wall Removal Done Right

If you want to open up your kitchen to a dining or living area, wall removal is often the highest-impact change. But load-bearing walls require engineered LVL beams and proper support, not just a sledgehammer. We bring in a structural engineer early to evaluate and price the wall removal up front before you commit to the bigger scope.

Licensed General Contractor

Kitchen remodels over $30,000 legally require a North Carolina General Contractor license. Many remodelers operate without one. We hold the NC GC license, pull permits under our name, and take legal responsibility for the entire project.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Jacksonville NC?

A typical kitchen remodel runs 6-10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough once cabinets and counters arrive. Custom cabinetry adds 6-10 weeks of lead time before demo can start. Layout-change remodels with wall removal run longer, so plan 10-14 weeks of active construction.

Can I live in my home during a kitchen remodel?

Yes, and most of our clients do. We set up a temporary kitchen in another room with refrigerator, microwave, and a prep surface, and we contain the work zone with dust barriers. Plan to eat out or use the temporary setup for 4-8 weeks of active construction.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost?

A budget refresh (paint, hardware, counter replacement) runs $10,000-$20,000. A mid-range full remodel with new cabinets, quartz counters, appliances, and tile backsplash runs $35,000-$65,000. High-end remodels with custom cabinets, stone counters, premium appliances, and layout changes run $75,000-$150,000+. We provide detailed line-item estimates.

Do I need permits to remodel my kitchen?

Yes for any project with plumbing, electrical, or structural changes. In Onslow County, kitchen remodels that relocate sinks, add circuits, or remove walls all require permits. A pure cosmetic refresh with no utility changes may not, but we recommend permitting to protect resale value.

What's the best countertop material for coastal NC kitchens?

Quartz is our most common recommendation: it's non-porous (no sealing), stain-resistant, and handles humidity without issues. Natural granite is still popular for the look, but it needs annual sealing. Butcher block looks great but takes more maintenance in humid coastal air.

Should I remove walls to open up my kitchen?

Often yes, but only after verifying load-bearing status. Removing a load-bearing wall requires an engineered beam and proper support, which adds $5,000-$15,000 to the project depending on span. We bring a structural engineer in early to evaluate and price the wall removal before you commit.
