Answers to common questions about kitchen renovations in Dover and coastal Delaware.
Yes. Most homeowners stay in their homes during kitchen remodels. We set up a temporary kitchen area with access to your refrigerator, microwave, and sink (when possible). Plan on eating out more frequently or using outdoor grills during the weeks your kitchen is out of service.
Most kitchen remodels require permits, especially if you’re moving plumbing, adding electrical circuits, or changing the layout. FICS Design & Build handles all permit applications, inspections, and code compliance as part of our service.
Kitchen remodels typically return 60-80% of their cost at resale, making them one of the better renovation investments. If you’re selling within the next year, focus on updates that appeal to the broadest buyer pool: neutral colors, durable materials, and functional layouts. If you’re staying long-term, design for your lifestyle and preferences.
Semi-custom cabinets come in standard sizes with some customization options for finishes, door styles, and organizational features. Custom cabinets are built to your exact specifications, allowing for unique sizes, configurations, and design elements. Semi-custom cabinets are more budget-friendly and have shorter lead times. Custom cabinets offer maximum flexibility for challenging layouts or specific design visions.
Quartz is engineered stone that’s non-porous, stain-resistant, and requires no sealing. It offers consistent color and pattern. Granite is natural stone with unique variations in each slab. It requires periodic sealing but offers one-of-a-kind aesthetics. Both are durable and heat-resistant. Quartz is easier to maintain; granite offers natural beauty and variation. We help you evaluate both options based on your cooking habits, maintenance preferences, and design goals.
