Every home contractor out there will tell you all the great and wonderful things about kitchen remodeling, but few will tell you what the worst parts of these projects are. This is mostly because they do not want to scare you out of your kitchen renovation ideas, but luckily, hiring contractors should relieve your worries from falling victim to kitchen remodeling nightmares.

Nonetheless, there are some parts of renovating your kitchen that is not fun and you need to be prepared for, even if you are working with contractors.

  1. Coordination Between Trades- Waiting around for other contractors can be a hassle and time waste and is one of the worst parts of a kitchen renovation. Builders, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and more often must coordinate schedules and work together. When one job takes longer than expected, the entire project can be thrown off due to rescheduling, conflicts, and trying to coordinate.
  2. The Mess- Sawdust, mud, dirt, paint, and more will be all over the entire house during a kitchen renovation. Contractors should use plastic screens and tarps to help contain the mess, but you will notice dust settling in places you never imagined before the end of the project.
  3. Living Arrangements- During a full kitchen renovation, it is best for the homeowner and family to live elsewhere to avoid the mess, but also because the kitchen will be unusable for several days or longer. While it is possible to stay in the home, it is much more convenient to find other living arrangements, which should also be factored into the project budget.
  4. When Things Go Wrong- The smallest of errors can delay your project by hours or days which results in the budget having to grow and more time being spent out of the home. Things going wrong can be extremely stressful which is why hiring contractors for your remodel is so important.
