Changing Course: What Happens If You Change Your Mind During Your Cabinet Renovation

Updated: 1 day ago

Introduction


Starting a cabinet renovation is exciting, but changing your mind mid-project is common. At Texas Cabinet Solutions, we understand the need for flexibility, whether you're using Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) cabinets, custom-built units, or both. Here's how to handle changes smoothly during your renovation.


Cabinet renovation changes.

Why Homeowners Change Their Minds


  • New design inspirations

  • Budget reconsiderations

  • Practical concerns during the process

  • Changes in household needs


When Can Changes Be Made?


1. Initial Design Phase: This is the best time for changes. You can explore different cabinet styles, layouts, and finishes during this phase.

   

2. Before Ordering Cabinets: There is still time to adjust styles, quantities, and hardware without significant cost impacts.


3. After Ordering/During Installation: Limited changes, such as minor repositioning or adding small accessories, may be possible. However, significant changes become more complex and costly.


The Change Process


  • Communicate Early: Let your contractor know about changes as soon as possible.

  • Reassess the Design: Ensure the new vision aligns with space and cabinet capabilities.

  • Revise the Project Scope: Adjust materials, schedules, and necessary permits.

  • Cost & Timeline Adjustments: Changes may affect the budget and push completion back by 1 to 2 weeks.


When It's Too Late


Significant changes are challenging after cabinets are custom-cut or installed, especially after countertops are in place. At this stage, altering plumbing, electrical, or drywall can lead to significant costs and delays. Plan carefully to avoid this.
