The Process

How We Remodel Your Kitchen

01

Design & Layout Consultation

Step 1
Kitchen remodels live or die on the initial layout and material selection. We spend meaningful time upfront understanding how you actually use your kitchen before we draw anything.
  • Work triangle analysis: Mapping the stove-sink-refrigerator triangle for efficient cooking flow.
  • Storage needs assessment: Discussing what you currently store where, and what's missing.
  • Budget-tier material guidance: Honest discussions on cabinet, counter, and appliance quality tiers and the true cost difference between them.
02

Design Drawings & Cabinet Ordering

Step 2
Custom cabinets and quartz countertops have 6-10 week lead times. We finalize layout and order long-lead materials before any demo happens.
  • Dimensioned floor plan: Scaled drawings showing cabinet layout, appliance placement, and dimensions.
  • 3D rendering (optional): For complex layouts, we provide 3D visualization so you can see the kitchen before committing.
  • Cabinet and counter ordering: Long-lead items ordered 8+ weeks before demo to minimize downtime.
03

Permits & Preparation

Step 3
Most kitchen remodels require permits for plumbing, electrical, and any structural work. We file everything with Onslow County.
  • Permit application: Plumbing, electrical, and structural permits as required by scope.
  • Temporary kitchen setup: Helping you set up a temporary kitchen in another room with refrigerator, microwave, and prep surface.
  • Jobsite protection: Plastic dust barriers, floor protection, and HVAC containment installed before demo.
04

Demolition & Structural Changes

Step 4
Demo is also discovery — hidden wiring, plumbing surprises, and structural issues often surface during tear-out.
  • Selective demolition: Removing old cabinets, flooring, and surfaces while protecting adjacent walls and fixtures.
  • Wall removal (if applicable): For open-concept conversions, load-bearing walls require engineered LVL beams and proper support.
  • Hidden issue documentation: Photographing and addressing any rot, mold, leaks, or code issues exposed during demo.

Electrical, Plumbing & HVAC Rough-In

Step 5
Licensed trades handle the rough-in work — inspected by the county before walls close up.
  • Dedicated appliance circuits: Separate circuits for range, oven, dishwasher, disposal, microwave, and refrigerator per NEC code.
  • GFCI and AFCI protection: Code-required outlet protection above counters and throughout kitchen circuits.
  • Relocated plumbing and venting: New supply, drain, and vent lines for any relocated sinks or dishwashers.
06

Drywall, Paint & Flooring

Step 6
After inspections, we close up walls, paint, and install flooring before cabinets go in for a clean substrate.
  • Drywall repair and finish: All wall patches taped, sanded, and finished to level 4 before priming.
  • Flooring first: Tile, LVP, or hardwood installed before cabinets for a cleaner look and easier future flooring changes.
  • Paint: Primer and two finish coats before cabinet install — painting around installed cabinets is slower and messier.
07

Cabinet, Counter & Appliance Install

Step 7
Cabinets get set level and plumb, countertops are templated and fabricated, and appliances are installed per manufacturer specs.
  • Cabinet install: Base cabinets leveled and shimmed, uppers aligned, and all boxes through-screwed for a solid run.
  • Quartz or stone templating: After cabinets are set, we template countertops for precision fabrication and install 1-2 weeks later.
  • Appliance hookup and testing: Every appliance installed and tested with proper water, gas, and electrical connections.
08

Punch List & Final Walkthrough

Step 8
The last 5% of a kitchen remodel is where good contractors separate from great ones. We don't leave until every detail is right.
  • Detailed walkthrough: We walk every inch of the kitchen with you, documenting anything that needs adjustment.
  • Punch list resolution: All items addressed before final billing — typically within 1-2 weeks of the walkthrough.
  • 5-year workmanship warranty: Covering cabinet installation, plumbing connections, tile, and finishes.

From Design to Punch List — One Contractor

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.

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 — 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 requires annual sealing. Butcher block looks great but needs 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.

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 transparently 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.
