What is the difference between a kitchen renovation & a full remodel?
The main difference between a kitchen renovation and a full remodel is structural scope: a kitchen renovation refreshes aesthetic elements within the existing footprint, while a full kitchen remodel involves changing the layout, moving walls, and updating plumbing or electrical systems down to the studs.
Kitchen renovation vs. full remodel:
| Renovation | Full Remodel | |
|---|---|---|
| Layout | Stays the same | Reconfigured |
| Walls | Untouched | May be moved |
| Plumbing/electrical | Untouched | Updated |
| Cabinets | Refinished or refaced | Replaced |
| Timeline | Faster | Longer |
At ELM Construction, a kitchen renovation focuses on surface and functional upgrades, such as refinishing or refacing cabinets, upgrading countertops and tile backsplashes, replacing lighting fixtures, and installing new appliances.

What are the best cabinet & countertop materials for a kitchen remodel?
In your kitchen layout, cabinets play a vital role, and one of our priorities is ensuring that your cabinets are both durable and functional. We use solid wood cabinets with soft-close doors and drawers to provide a long-lasting and sturdy storage solution that lasts for years. We'll work with you to select the perfect cabinets for your storage and design preferences. Plus, we will also help you select the right cabinet hardware, ensuring they are both stylish and practical.
In addition to high-quality custom cabinets, we also help you select the best countertops for your needs. Common countertop materials are quartz, solid surface, or marble. Your countertops should be visually stunning, as well as durable and easy to maintain. Solid surface countertops offer a range of benefits. They are heat and scratch-resistant, as well as resistant to bacteria and stains. These come in a variety of colors and finishes to choose from, allowing you to create a unique and personalized look. With our focus on high-quality materials, you can be confident that your new kitchen will look great and stand up to the wear and tear of everyday use.
