At KraftMaster we take care of all the details so you dont have to worry about missing anything, these are the steps of the project from the design through the installation.
Here are the steps as an overview of the process:

Step 1 (Protection) When a project is started one of the most important steps taken is protecting the areas of the house that are not involved. In our projects we install floor protection to preserve the existing tile floor, furniture is wrapped and zipper doors are installed to contain dust.

Step 2 (Demolition) All of the original cabinetry, counter tops and soffits have been removed. In this particular project most appliances were removed and saved for installation in the new kitchen. The refrigerator usually remains in the kitchen or near so that the homeowner can still use it during the project.

Step 3 (Framing) Usually the next step in a project would be any framing changes that need to take place. Framing is when 2x4's or the "skeletal structure" of walls, windows or doors are installed. This kitchen did not require many framing changes but you can see where a wall that will be part of the new island is located.

Step 4 (Rough-ins) Rough-in is when we make the changes that occur in the walls behind the drywall. This is where our plumbers, electricians and when required our heating and cooling trades people make the necessary changes in the walls to accommodate the new room design. You will see when the walls and ceiling have been opened to allow for new lighting and plumbing arrangement.

Step 5 (Drywall and Paint) During this phase we first double check to make sure that all our electrical and plumbing openings are in the correct location for our new design. Then we install sheets of drywall as needed and "finish" with drywall compound to provide smooth walls and ceilings.

Step 6 (Flooring) This is the stage that the new flooring is preped and any sub flooring is installed and then the finish flooring will be installed. Once the new flooring is installed it is protected with paper and eucraboards.

Step 7 (Cabinets and Trim) Up to this point most of the project your home usually looks worse then it did when we started. But at this point things really start to take shape. This is where the cabinetry and trim are installed. At this part of the project clients start to get excited to see their new room begin to be transformed with the selections they have made.

Step 8 (Tops and Tile) Once the cabinetry has been installed then the counter tops are installed. In some kitchens we may use two different types of materials; granite on for the main work space and butcher block on the island. In most kitchens we help design stunning tile backsplash layouts and assist im the selection of tiles to tie the cabinets together with the cabinets. During this phase as well as during the cabinet installation the appliances are being installed.

Step 9 (Fixture Installation) This is where our plumber and electricians work together with our carpenters to install all the fixtures, faucets, face plates and any other details that complete a project. This is where a lot of fine tuning takes place to put the finishing touches your special transforming project.

Step 10 (Clean Up) "It's not complete until it is clean." That's what we say. Here is where care is given to make sure that all your cabinets are cleaned out, counter tops shine, switches work and you have all your appliance information. It just wouldn't be as special if your dream kitchen or bath didn't sparkle.
