Before Demo Day

Measured twice, still unsure.“Galley kitchen, and the wall might be load-bearing.”

Load-bearing, or not. Nobody settles that from a photo, so write down the galley and the wall you are unsure about, and a local pro reads it before calling.

GetMatchedPro connects homeowners with independent local professionals. We do not perform the work ourselves.

    Our Part Ends at the Note

    GetMatchedPro builds nothing. We write the note down the way you said it and hand it to independent local remodeling pros, who call you about the galley and the wall you flagged.

    Questions

    Remodeling questions

    Does GetMatchedPro do the remodeling work?

    No. Independent local remodeling pros near you read what you wrote and decide whether the job is theirs. Everything after that sits between you and the contractor you pick, from the first bid to the punch list.

    How much will a kitchen remodel cost?

    Nobody here knows. The contractor gives that number after walking the galley, and it moves hard with the cabinets you pick. Ask each one how change orders get priced while you have them on the phone.

    Do I need a permit to take out that wall?

    Your building department decides that, and a load-bearing wall is exactly the kind of work they want on paper. Ask who pulls the permit, the contractor or you. Settle it before demo.

    Can I live here while the kitchen is torn out?

    Plan on eating out. A galley stripped to the studs takes the sink and the range with it, so ask which week the water goes off and where the saw gets set up. Ask about dust barriers too.

    How firm do my plans need to be?

    Firmer helps. A contractor prices a settled plan faster than a maybe, so bring rough dimensions and a photo of the wall you keep asking about. Say plainly what is still undecided.
