Kitchen Design 101
About this Event
Walk into your kitchen remodel with a real budget, a measured floor plan, and a materials list you actually understand. This 4-hour interactive seminar at Boston Building Resources in Roxbury covers realistic Greater Boston remodel costs, how to measure and document your space, cabinet construction and countertop options, and the mistakes that trip up most homeowners. You'll leave with the foundation to plan a kitchen renovation with confidence, whether you're hiring a contractor or tackling it yourself.
What We’ll Cover
🧾 Budget out a kitchen remodel by category — cabinets, labor, appliances, countertops — using real Greater Boston pricing
📏 Measure and document your kitchen for a designer or contractor, including utilities, windows, and ceiling height
🪵 Compare cabinet construction, from framed vs. frameless to stock vs. custom door and drawer quality
🪨 Evaluate countertop materials like laminate, stone, and quartz, plus flooring, plumbing fixtures, and lighting
😅 Spot the kitchen remodel mistakes that trip up most homeowners, like corner cabinet headaches and skipping a re-measure after demo
Come Prepared
You’ll get the most out of this seminar if you bring:
- Measurements or photos of your existing kitchen
