Frequently Asked Questions

Many homeowners underestimate the importance of layout planning before selecting finishes. Without a functional design, even premium materials won't create an efficient workspace. At Of the Mountain Builders, we start every kitchen remodel with layout optimization to ensure cabinetry, appliances, and flow work together seamlessly.

A full gut remodel involves removing existing cabinetry, countertops, and sometimes walls to reconfigure the entire layout and update plumbing and electrical. A cabinet refresh replaces or refinishes cabinets while keeping the existing layout intact. Full remodels offer more flexibility for modern, functional kitchens in Georgetown's older homes.
