Why a two-tone kitchen with a slab backsplash takes planning

Two cabinet colors only work when the countertop ties them together, so the cabinet finishes and the countertop slab are chosen as a set. A full-height backsplash uses far more material than a standard short backsplash, which means the slab order, the vein direction and the seams are planned before fabrication. Cabinets set the schedule too: semi-custom and custom lines can take 4 to 16 weeks or longer to arrive. When circuits, plumbing or walls change, the work needs a permit, which in the city goes through the City of San Diego Development Services Department.

How Haven handles a kitchen remodel

Every Haven kitchen starts with a design consultation about how you cook, your layout and your budget, followed by a walkthrough that checks the structure, electrical and plumbing. You then get a fully itemized proposal that locks in cabinetry, counters, plumbing, electrical and tile, and Haven files the permit. Cabinet lead time is built into the schedule before demolition. During construction, containment walls, protected floors and sealed ducts keep the rest of the house clean, and the job closes with a final walkthrough and permit sign-off. Haven's kitchen remodels typically range from $25,000 to $75,000, depending on the layout, cabinet line, countertop material and how much plumbing and electrical work moves.

Planning a kitchen remodel in San Diego?

Before a consultation, it helps to know:

• Whether you want to keep the current layout or move the sink, range or walls.
• The look you have in mind, such as two-tone cabinets or a single color.
• Your countertop material and whether you want the backsplash in the same stone.
• Your appliance list, including gas or electric cooking and the range hood.
• Whether the floors are being replaced at the same time.

Haven's kitchen remodels typically take 6 to 10 weeks of construction, with cabinet lead time on top. See the kitchen remodeling page for the full process.
