Question 1

How long does a typical kitchen remodel take in Cobb County?

Accepted Answer

A cosmetic refresh — refaced cabinets, new countertops, tile backsplash — typically runs 2–3 weeks. A full gut renovation with new cabinetry, plumbing moves, and layout changes usually takes 6–10 weeks from demolition to final punch list. The most common delay is cabinet lead time: 2–5 weeks before construction even starts. Order early — this single decision controls your move-in date more than anything else.

Question 2

What does a kitchen remodel cost in the Greater Atlanta market?

Accepted Answer

It varies significantly. A cosmetic refresh with refaced cabinets and new countertops might run $15,000–$25,000. A mid-range renovation with semi-custom cabinetry and quartz is typically $35,000–$65,000. Full custom renovations in East Cobb or Alpharetta often run $75,000–$120,000+. We provide a free written estimate after a site visit — that's the only number that actually applies to your specific home.

Question 3

Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Cobb County?

Accepted Answer

It depends on scope. Cosmetic work — new cabinets on the same footprint, countertops, backsplash — generally doesn't require a permit. Any work moving plumbing, gas lines, or electrical does. We handle all permit applications and inspection scheduling on your behalf. This isn't an add-on — it's part of our project management. Unpermitted plumbing and electrical changes become your problem at closing.

Question 4

Can you work with my insurance company after a kitchen leak or water damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We document damage thoroughly during assessment and communicate directly with your adjuster. We handle the full scope from extraction and drying through rebuild — so you don't coordinate separate restoration and remodeling contractors. We don't inflate scopes to manipulate claims, but we do advocate clearly for what legitimate damage actually warrants.

Question 5

Do you handle plumbing and electrical in-house, or do I need separate contractors?

Accepted Answer

We coordinate both. TopFlight uses licensed plumbing and electrical subcontractors we've worked with for years — scheduled, supervised, and accountable to us. You have one point of contact throughout. This eliminates the scheduling gaps and finger-pointing that happen when homeowners manage multiple trades independently. One call, one invoice, one warranty.

Question 6

What cabinet lines do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We work with a range from stock and semi-custom lines to fully custom fabrication depending on your budget and timeline. We have established relationships with several cabinet dealers and can match the supplier to your scope and lead time requirements. We don't have a brand partnership that skews our recommendations — we suggest what actually fits your project.

Question 7

Can we live in the house during a kitchen remodel?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes, though it's not comfortable. You'll lose your kitchen sink and cooking area for most of the project. We set up temporary utility connections where possible, contain dust with poly barriers, and keep job sites clean. Families with young children often find it more disruptive than expected. We'll give you an honest read after seeing your specific layout — not an optimistic one.

Question 8

Do you offer financing for kitchen renovations?

Accepted Answer

We don't offer in-house financing. Many of our clients use home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), renovation-specific personal loans, or payment plans through financial products like GreenSky or similar. We're happy to discuss payment structure and scheduling during our estimate conversation, and can stage payments to align with project milestones.
