The holidays can have a way of sneaking up on you. Whether you’re spending time with loved ones at home or you’re traveling, the heart of any gathering starts in the kitchen. And while any gathering with loved ones is always special, sometimes they can reveal the need for a kitchen update to make those memories even better.
Taking on a kitchen update can seem daunting – but the professionals at Triad Kitchen and Bath can handle all aspects of a kitchen refresh and make sure its a smooth experience from start to finish.
Before Updating Your Kitchen
When updating your kitchen, especially with the holidays in mind, you will want to consider different designs and layouts to accommodate guests. Opening walls may be what’s needed to make your kitchen feel open and inviting. Take advantage of our free design expertise!
New countertops can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks from purchase to installation, though installation itself will only take one day. This portion of the project is the only time we will have a few days of waiting, knowing that in advance sets you up for success. Below are some pros and cons of popular countertop materials:
- Granite
