Excellence from Blueprint to Backsplash

Our Proven System for a Seamless Kitchen Renovation

We understand that the kitchen is a high-traffic area, which is why our process focuses on meticulous planning and efficient execution. We manage every detail of your kitchen renovation to minimize disruption and deliver a flawless finish.

Phase 1:Initial Design for Your Kitchen Renovation

We begin by analyzing your current space and discussing your specific needs. Whether you want an open-concept layout, a massive chef's island, or specialized pantry storage, we finalize the blueprints for your kitchen renovation to ensure every measurement is exact.

Phase 2: Demolition and Structural Prep in Kitchen Renovations

We carefully strip away the old materials and inspect the underlying plumbing and electrical systems. If your kitchen renovation involves moving walls to create more space, we ensure the structural integrity of your home is maintained and updated to modern codes.

Phase 3: Custom Cabinetry and Countertop Installation

This is the core of any high-end kitchen renovation. Our master carpenters install custom cabinetry, precision-cut stone countertops, and integrated appliances, ensuring every line is perfectly level and every transition is seamless.

Phase 4: Finishing Touches and Kitchen Renovation Walkthrough

We finalize the plumbing fixtures, backsplash tile, and strategic lighting to make the space pop. We don't consider the kitchen renovation complete until we’ve performed a detailed final walkthrough to ensure the craftsmanship meets our 5-star standards.

I was beside myself finding someone to build us a fence for the inherited chickens that apparently came with the house we bought. My border collie gave herself the job of herding these poor chickens, and the fence was not keeping her out. . Dustin was fabulous to arrange everything with. He was super responsive, knowledgeable, and reliable. A breath if fresh air after non responsive contractors. Payton was my go to builder. They not only built us a dog proof fence, but also a fabulous coop with all the bells and whistles. I will be using these guys again for our renos moving forwards and i highly recommend hand and hammer

Dustin and his team came to my rescue when a tenant left my house in need of repair. Dustin kept in contact with me every step of the way. Not only was he efficient, every member of his team was meticulous and took pride in their work. I am overjoyed with all the work that was done, from painting to plumbing and cabinetry repair.

We are SO HAPPY thanks to Dustin and his team 😊 We hired Hand and Hammer for an exterior renovation on our log home. The scope of work involved lots of demolition, design and building. Dustin and Brandy were wonderful to work with throughout the project with quick replies and kindness. Peyton and Adam were a pleasure to have around often whistling and singing as they go about their work. They keep a clean and organized site with the help of Lovepreet and Ryder. We look forward to having the team around here in the future. . Dustin was fabulous to arrange everything with. He was super responsive, knowledgeable, and reliable.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Undertaking a major kitchen renovation is a big decision. Here are a few common questions Cranbrook homeowners ask us before breaking ground on a full home rebuild.

How long does a typical kitchen renovation take?

Depending on the scope, most kitchen renovations in the Cranbrook area take between 4 to 8 weeks. This timeline varies based on the complexity of the layout changes and the lead times for custom materials like cabinetry and stone.

Yes, but you will need to set up a temporary “kitchenette” elsewhere. Since your sink, stove, and dishwasher will be out of commission during the bulk of the kitchen renovation, we work as efficiently as possible to restore your access to the heart of your home.

If we are altering plumbing lines, adding new electrical circuits, or removing structural walls, a permit from the City of Cranbrook is required. Hand and Hammer manages the entire permitting process for your kitchen renovation to ensure everything is legal and up to code.

Typically, custom cabinetry and countertops are the largest investment in a kitchen renovation. However, moving plumbing and gas lines can also impact the budget. We provide a transparent, detailed quote before we break ground so there are no surprises.
