Plan first, build second
Most of a good kitchen is decided before demolition
A kitchen pulls more of the house together than any other room. The sink needs supply and drain lines, the dishwasher needs water and power, the range needs gas or a heavy circuit, the hood needs a route outside, and the cabinets have to be set dead level so stone can rest on them. The layout fixes every one of those connections, which is why JACCO begins each kitchen with the plan: where you prep, cook, clean up and set down groceries, and how people move through the room while you work.
Many kitchens only start to work once the layout changes. Moving the sink into an island, opening the kitchen to the family room or shifting the range to an outside wall is framing and mechanical work as much as cabinetry. A bearing wall needs a beam sized for its load, drains may have to run through the floor system, and a vented hood needs a duct path that clears the joists. We plan those moves together, so the cabinet drawings, the structure and the rough-in agree before anything is ordered.
The work follows the same five-stage process as every JACCO project. Your written bid names the cabinetry, countertops, tile, lighting and the work behind the walls, and a schedule is in your hands before demolition. Cabinets and appliances are ordered early, because their lead times set the calendar. While the kitchen is torn out, the rest of the house stays protected, and the work area is swept and cleared before the crew leaves each day.
What’s included
Inside the scope of a kitchen remodel
Your scope is written for your kitchen and your budget. These are the items that come up most often, from a cabinet-and-counter update to a room rebuilt around a new plan.
- Reworked layouts and relocated sinks or ranges
- Walls opened to living and dining areas
- Painted and natural-wood shaker cabinetry
- Islands with seating, storage and prep sinks
- Quartz, natural stone, concrete and butcher-block counters
- Tile backsplashes and range-wall details
- Range hoods ducted to the outside
- Pendant, recessed and under-cabinet lighting
- Dedicated circuits for ovens, ranges and islands
- Flooring, trim and paint to finish the room
Three scales of kitchen project
Most kitchens fall into one of these scopes. The bid lists every item yours includes, so there is no guessing about what the price covers.
Scope one
Same layout, new surfaces
Sink, range and refrigerator stay where they are. Cabinets, counters, backsplash, fixtures and lighting are replaced within the existing footprint, with appliances chosen to fit the openings.
Scope two
Full kitchen remodel
The room goes back to the studs. Wiring, plumbing and lighting are brought up to date behind new drywall before cabinetry, an island where space allows, stone counters, tile and flooring go in.
Scope three
New layout, new connections
Walls move or come out to join the kitchen with the rooms around it. Beams, relocated plumbing, new circuits and a ducted hood are framed in first, then a cabinet plan is built around how you live.

Why JACCO
How JACCO handles a kitchen
Cabinets drawn from real measurements
Cabinet layouts start from field measurements of your walls, floors and openings, not from the old kitchen’s footprint. Appliance specifications, door swings and walkway clearances are checked against the drawings before anything is ordered.
Orders placed before the tear-out
Cabinets, tile, fixtures and appliances are selected and ordered before the old kitchen comes out. Stone is templated once the cabinets are set, and your schedule shows that sequence, so the room is not left half-built waiting on a decision.
A plan for living without a kitchen
Losing the kitchen is the hardest part for most households. We talk through where you will cook and wash dishes while the work is under way, keep dust inside the work area, and leave the house tidy at the end of every day.

What drives the cost of a kitchen remodel?
Layout and cabinetry decide most of the number. Keeping the sink, range and refrigerator in place puts the budget into finishes; moving them adds plumbing, electrical, possibly framing, and inspections. After that come cabinet construction and finish, countertop material, the appliance package, and how much tile and lighting you want. JACCO prices every kitchen from a written scope rather than a per-foot figure, so each part of the cost is visible and you can adjust before work begins.
How long is the kitchen out of commission?
Expect construction to take weeks rather than days, with the exact length set by the scope and by lead times on cabinets and stone. Most of the waiting happens earlier, while selections are made and materials are ordered, which is why demolition waits until the key pieces are scheduled. Your schedule shows each phase, including the gap between setting cabinets and installing counters, so you can plan meals around it.
Can you open the wall between our kitchen and living room?
Often, yes. The first questions are whether the wall carries load and what runs inside it, since plumbing vents, ductwork and wiring are common. A bearing wall can usually come out with a properly sized beam, sometimes designed by an engineer, and the work typically needs a permit. We look at the framing during the site visit and spell out the structural work, any rerouted systems and the permit in the written bid.
Can we keep our current appliances?
Usually, as long as they suit the new plan. Built-in refrigerators, wall ovens and ranges each need specific cabinet openings and utility connections, so we record model numbers early and design the cabinetry around them. If you plan to replace appliances, choosing them before the cabinets are ordered avoids filler strips, awkward gaps and last-minute changes to the cabinet order.
Does a kitchen remodel need a permit?
That depends on the work. Swapping cabinets and counters in the same positions often goes ahead without one, while relocating plumbing, running new circuits, extending a gas line or removing a wall generally requires a permit. Which office issues it depends on your address: Sumner County outside city limits, or Franklin, Brentwood or Metro Nashville inside those cities. We sort this out during the bid and manage the application and inspections.
