Straight answers about design, permits, schedules and living at home during the work.
It depends on how far you go. A light remodel replaces counters, backsplash and lighting. A full remodel adds new cabinets, flooring and often new wiring and plumbing. We measure first and show you both paths with separate line items.
If the job adds circuits or outlets, changes drain lines or touches gas piping, yes. The City's permit Q&A lists all three as permitted work. Swapping cabinets and counters in place without that work usually doesn't trigger one.
Several weeks of on-site work is typical for a full remodel, with design and cabinet lead time before that. Countertops are templated after cabinets are set, which adds a short gap. Your estimate comes with a week-by-week schedule.

Yes. The City's building permit Q&A says new electrical circuits and outlets need a permit, because wire size, connections and wiring methods matter. Replacing a loose receptacle doesn't.
The City says a permit expires if work doesn't begin within 180 days of issue. You also have to pass at least one inspection every 180 days to keep it active.
We don't recommend it. Cabinet sizes depend on exact appliance models, the window position and where the plumbing ends up, so we finalize the drawing first.
