Kitchen Remodeling Plans


Kitchen remodeling plans are necessary. The kitchen is often the centerpiece of a home. The number of activities taking place here are numerous, from cooking and eating to family gatherings, a little bit of extra work to create perfect plans is more than justified! The good news is that you can make them yourself!

Furthermore, the plans will help you to decide weather you need help from specialists, or you can do the work yourself. Depending on the size and complexity of your kitchen remodeling, you will have different options and, of course, different price range. If your space available for kitchen is limited, then you need a few options, with the best solutions in terms of functionality.

It is important when you are ready to hire a contractor and want to keep your project on a budget, to have plans to show and discuss with him. This will give a solid ground for an estimate, eliminating misunderstandings and confusion on both sides…

He will bring in all the trades you need, and guarantee for their work. While it is great to keep the cost as low as possible, sometimes it is better to go for the quality and sure service! It is no value in poor finishes and low quality craftsmanship. Overall, you will save money hiring skilled contractors, with solid references.

Hiring A Designer:

If you are thinking to hire a designer, it is very useful to be prepared with details regarding your budget and style. Collect a few pictures from magazines! A great website on this matter is Clever-Kitchen-Designs.com.


The Basics

  • Keep the layout in the most convenient design: the “work triangle”: sink, stove and refrigerator
  • Ideally, have more than one work center, if the space is allowing (island, extra countertop)


Nice To Have:
  • Good quality marble and granite – for extra durability and a luxurious look
  • Heated floors
  • Heated marble or granite countertops
  • Spot lights under the cabinets
  • Matching stainless steel appliances



Overall, having good kitchen remodeling plans is your key to a successful project! You know, failing to plan is planning to fail. Good ideas can take time to develop. You just need to consider what you need, want, fit to your budget and will add to the value of your home.

"My reputation is on the line every time I have work completed at one of my complexes. The contractors I call have to be professional: reliable , skilled, knowledgeable, cost effective and efficient.

I have found Marek Witecki to be an asset for my job as he responds to any issue I contact him for. His staff is skilled and well trained with the same attention to detail as their employer. Any concerns are dealt with quickly and satisfactorily.

I strongly recommend of the hiring of The Best Western Contracting Ltd. for any project as the quality work and professionals service is why I keep calling!

Jolanta Friedman

Strata Agent
Ascent Property Management (Now: Aedis Property Management)



"Like most people who live in old houses, we are repeatedly repairing, renovating and house remodeling ... Although we have used several contractors in the past, Marek Witecki is by far the best!

We have for many years entrusted all of our renovation work to him (and his company). Marek’s work is first rate, and it is a pleasure to work with him because he is completely fair, honest, hard-working, reliable and respectful of our needs and time lines.

He and his crew at The Best Western Contracting Ltd. have worked on all parts of our house, and many projects of house remodeling. He rebuilt our large deck, renovated our dining room, completely redesigned and rebuilt our master bedroom, replaced two bathrooms, built a basement laundry room/workshop and created a new entryway into our basement from the back yard.

We appreciate the way he understands what we want and brings our ideas to reality. He also offers very useful and inventive ideas that we ourselves have not considered. For example, his suggestion to remove a wall in our master bedroom suite created an open, airy space that is not only a great pleasure to be in, but is also more functional than we could have imagined.

Marek has a thorough knowledge of current products and construction methods. He has high standards and his workmanship is excellent. We have always found his cost estimates to be realistic, and he works hard to finish jobs within an agreed upon time schedule.

Marek has always exceeded our expectations, and we can recommend him to prospective clients without reservation!"
