Arcadia Kitchen Remodeling Update

Written by Scott | October 29, 2016

Flooring has begun on the Arcadia Kitchen Remodeling Project

Major flooring installation has gotten underway on the Kitchen Remodel in Arcadia neighborhood of Phoenix.  The new flooring is an engineered hardwood floor glued directly to the concrete.

What's included in the wood flooring scope?:

  • All new engineered hardwood flooring throughout the entire house, including bedrooms, with exception of the bathrooms which will remain tile flooring.
  • The new wood floor material was selected during the design phase of our Design/Build Remodeling process.
  • Because the existing baseboard is to remain, a shoe molding will be installed to cover the expansion gap between the wood floor and baseboard molding.

Were there any 'Surprises' during installation?:

  • No surprises during the installation of the new wood floor, however, quite a bit of prep work had to be done before the flooring was installed.

What's up with the cabinets?

  • Typically, in Arizona, cabinets are installed before flooring goes in.
  • We have a tight schedule/timeline on this project because the new homeowners would like to move in as soon as possible, and put their old house on the market.  Traditionally, we would set our project start-date once we had a delivery schedule for cabinets.  However, because the homeowners weren't living in the house, and because we had a tight schedule, we decided not to hold up the schedule; so we installed the toe-kicks for the cabinets in their location to allow for wood flooring installation.
