After weeks of searching for a remodeler in your area, calling references, checking their Houzz profile, and working on a reasonable price, you say, “Yes,” sign the contract, finalize the design, and hit the ground running in two weeks. There’s a bit of nervousness in the air, but as you enter the honeymoon phase, the mood is mostly one of excitement.
Demolition begins
A few weeks pass and the day comes for the work to begin. Protective products are installed, demolition begins. Demo, sweet, demo. Usually one of the fastest phases of remodeling, demolition makes it seem like a lot of work is done practically overnight. Cabinets are removed, walls are torn down, appliances are taken away and, within days or weeks (depending on the size of your project), you’re staring at a blank canvas.
After that, all the necessary framing and construction work will begin. Framing is usually not as exciting or fast as tearing down, but still, progress is visible almost daily. At this point, you and your partner are walking on air. The work rate is astounding, and you’re still very excited (although maybe a little less nervous now) about the whole project.
