Preparing for a Kitchen Remodeling Project
A commercial kitchen remodeling project is a great way to give new life to the most frequently used room in your building and make it even more comfortable and beautiful. However, before the desired results are achieved, you will have to suffer the inconvenience of not being able to use your kitchen for some time. Here is how a commercial general contractor advises you to prepare in order to be able to deal with this problem:
- Create a temporary kitchen. Before the remodelers tear down the walls and remove your appliances, find an area on your property (a basement, garage, or dining room) that you can use for a temporary kitchen. If you have a folding table, use it as a countertop that will provide room for secondary appliances. Other things that you will need include a coffee maker, a toaster oven, or an electric single burner. These will help create your temporary kitchen.
- Choose the right tools. Remember that less is more when you work in a provisional kitchen. Set aside only the items that you will need – for example, those that are compatible with the toaster oven and the microwave. Place them in a plastic storage bin. Use another small bin for keeping handy essentials like plastic wrap, tin foil, garbage bags, and sandwich bags. The rest should go into storage.
- When locating the kitchen, choose a place that is easily accessible to all your staff. Do this as it will save you time when you have to wash dishes.
- Stock ready-to-eat foods. Dry and canned goods like cereals, dry and canned soups, canned vegetables, and fruit will be very useful to you, so make sure you have plenty of these in your provisional kitchen. Other suitable foods are nuts, crackers, raisins, peanut butter, string cheese, and fruit.
