Redesign Your Kitchen With Function and Durability in Mind

Kitchen remodeling in Lancaster that coordinates layout changes, cabinetry, countertops, plumbing, and electrical from demolition to completion.

Your kitchen in Lancaster may have a layout that limits counter space, appliances that no longer fit your needs, or cabinets that are worn and outdated. Kitchen remodeling changes the footprint, upgrades systems, and installs finishes that support how you use the space every day. Whether you are moving the sink to add an island, upgrading to energy-efficient appliances, or replacing laminate countertops with quartz, the project requires coordination between demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, cabinetry, and flooring trades. First Choice General Contractor manages the sequence and ensures that rough-in work is inspected and completed before finishes are installed.

The process starts with removing old cabinets, countertops, and appliances, followed by any necessary changes to plumbing or electrical lines. If the layout changes, walls may be moved or framed to support new cabinet runs or appliance locations. Drywall is patched or replaced, and the subfloor is leveled before cabinets are installed. Countertops are templated and cut to fit, and sinks, faucets, and cooktops are dropped in and plumbed. Lighting is installed above the island, under cabinets, and in the ceiling, and outlets are positioned to meet code. This service is common in homes throughout the Antelope Valley, where older kitchens were built with smaller layouts and limited electrical capacity.

How the layout gets reconfigured and the finishes come together

The crew in Lancaster begins by disconnecting appliances and removing cabinets, countertops, and backsplash tile. Plumbing supply lines and drain pipes are capped or rerouted, and electrical circuits are updated to support new appliances and lighting loads. Walls are framed to create new openings or support cabinet runs, and drywall is installed and finished before cabinetry goes in. Cabinets are leveled and fastened to wall studs, and filler strips are cut to fit gaps between cabinets and walls. Countertops are measured after cabinets are installed, and the fabricator cuts and polishes the edges before delivering the slabs for installation.

After the remodel, the kitchen will have a layout that allows you to move freely between the sink, stove, and refrigerator. Countertops will be level and sealed, cabinet doors will open without hitting adjacent units, and outlets will be placed where you need them for small appliances and charging devices.

This service includes disposal of old materials and coordination of inspections, but it does not include structural engineering or permits for load-bearing wall removal unless specified in the estimate. Flooring is typically installed after cabinets unless the new layout requires a continuous floor surface that runs under the cabinets. The work takes four to six weeks depending on the size and scope, and the timeline accounts for material orders and trade availability.

Most people ask these questions before committing to the work

These questions address the decisions, timing, and trade coordination details that affect your kitchen remodel from start to finish.

What is included in a kitchen remodel?
A kitchen remodel includes demolition, plumbing and electrical updates, cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting, and appliance installation. First Choice General Contractor coordinates all trades and manages the project timeline from planning through final inspection.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most kitchen remodels take four to six weeks, depending on the size of the space, the extent of layout changes, and the lead time for custom cabinetry or countertops. Partial updates, such as replacing countertops and backsplash, can finish in two to three weeks.
What should I decide before the remodel starts?
You should finalize the layout, cabinet style, countertop material, appliance models, and lighting placement before demolition begins. Changes made after the project starts can delay the schedule and increase costs.
Why does electrical need to be upgraded during a kitchen remodel?
Modern kitchens use more electricity than older homes were designed to handle, and code requires dedicated circuits for appliances like dishwashers, microwaves, and refrigerators. Upgrading the electrical system ensures safe operation and prevents breaker trips.
When should I install flooring during a remodel?
Flooring is typically installed after cabinets if the layout remains the same, but it should be installed before cabinets if the new layout changes the footprint or if you want the floor to run continuously under the cabinetry. First Choice General Contractor recommends the correct sequence during planning.
