Why homeowners use The Project Desk
We screen before anyone gets your project
Every contractor we work with is checked for business legitimacy, current insurance, relevant credentials, reputation, and fit for the kind of project you have. If we wouldn't hand the work to them, we don't put them in front of you.
Your details stay with us until you say yes
We tell you which contractor we've matched you with and when we can get them out. Nothing about you is released until you confirm that appointment — so one request doesn't turn into a week of cold calls.
One conversation instead of five
You tell us what you’re planning once. We handle the calling, the qualifying, and the scheduling, and we work the appointment around your availability.
Free for homeowners, no obligation
There's no cost to you and no commitment. Contractors pay us, so you're never charged for a match, an estimate, or a referral. What happens after the estimate is entirely your call.
More detail: how we vet contractors and how we make money.
What shapes a kitchen remodel
Whether the layout changes
Keeping plumbing, gas, and appliances where they are keeps a project simpler. Moving them, or removing a wall, adds trades and design work and usually requires permits.
Cabinets often set the schedule
Cabinets are frequently the largest single line item, and semi-custom and custom lines can take a while to arrive. The order date often drives the whole timeline.
Many trades in one room
A full kitchen can involve demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, cabinetry, countertops, tile, and appliance installation. Someone has to sequence all of it.
Living without a kitchen
Most full remodels leave you without a working kitchen for a stretch. Planning a temporary setup ahead of time makes that period much easier.
What a kitchen remodel typically includes
Every project is different. Your contractor confirms the actual scope in their estimate.
- Design and planning — Layout, cabinet design, and material selections.
- Permits — When plumbing, electrical, gas, or structural work is involved. Requirements vary by city.
- Demolition — Removing existing cabinets, counters, and finishes.
- Rough-in work — Plumbing, electrical, and ventilation changes before the walls close.
- Cabinets and countertops — Cabinet installation, then templating and fitting the counters.
- Backsplash and flooring — Tile, flooring, and finish carpentry.
- Fixtures and appliances — Sink, faucet, lighting, and appliance hookups.
- Final walkthrough — Punch list, cleanup, and sign-off.
How The Project Desk works
From your first message to a booked appointment with a screened kitchen remodeler.
Tell us about your kitchen
Share what you want to change: a full remodel, new cabinets and counters, or a new layout. A few details help us match the right remodeler.
We confirm the scope
We follow up to fill in anything missing and make sure we have a screened contractor who does kitchens like yours in your area.
Meet your remodeler
We tell you who we matched and when they can come out. They see the space, talk through options, and take measurements.
You decide from here
Your contractor prepares a written estimate. Where it goes from there is your call.
Common kitchen projects
Full kitchen remodel
New cabinets, counters, flooring, lighting, and fixtures, often down to the studs. The most involved option, and the one that benefits most from careful planning.
Cabinets and countertops
Keep the layout and plumbing where they are and replace the surfaces. Less disruption and a shorter project than a full remodel.
Layout changes
Opening a wall, adding an island, or relocating appliances. Structural and mechanical changes mean more trades and usually a permit.
What to know before you start
Settle the layout before the finishes
Whether plumbing and walls move is the biggest decision in the project. Make it first; finishes are easier to adjust later.
Ask what sets the schedule
Cabinets, counters, and some appliances can take weeks to arrive. Ask your contractor which items drive the timeline.
Compare estimates line by line
Contractors bundle items differently. Make sure you're comparing the same cabinets, counters, and scope, not just the totals.
Confirm who handles permits
Ask who is responsible for permits and inspections, and get the answer in writing.
Plan a temporary kitchen
A fridge, microwave, and coffee setup in another room makes a long project much easier to live through.
Tie payments to progress
A written schedule with payments linked to completed stages protects you and the contractor.
