At Cacheiro Painting and Remodeling LLC, we excel in transforming kitchens. Our latest project in Silver Spring, MD, showcases our expertise in expanding and modernizing spaces to meet our clients’ needs.
The Project in Silver Spring
n this project, we completely remodeled a kitchen in Silver Spring, MD. At the request of the new owner, we removed a bearing wall to expand the kitchen and create more space. We relocated the refrigerator and created a larger pantry for storing merchandise. The wall we removed contained air conductors and plumbing, which we relocated. Due to the narrow location, we used PEX A for the hot and cold water supply, a flexible and highly cold-resistant material. Additionally, we installed a new HVAC system in the attic to supply the second-floor rooms. The kitchen features a quartz countertop, white cabinets with 4″ brushed nickel handles, and water-resistant LVT flooring.
Main Tasks:
- Demolition: Removing the bearing wall and old fixtures.
- Plumbing Installation: Relocating and installing new plumbing with PEX A.
- HVAC Installation: Adding a new system to the attic.
- Drywall Installation: Ensuring smooth and clean surfaces.
- Painting: Applying a fresh coat for a new look.
- Cabinet Installation: Setting up new white cabinets.
- Countertop Installation: Installing a quartz countertop.
- Hardware Installation: Adding 4" brushed nickel handles.
- Appliance Installation: Setting up General Electric appliances.
- Final Inspection: Ensuring everything meets county standards.
Components and Tools Used
For this kitchen remodel, we employed top-quality materials and tools. PEX A was used for the plumbing due to its flexibility and resistance to cold, ideal for the narrow locations and the pipes running through the garage floor. The new HVAC system was strategically placed in the attic to ensure efficient heating and cooling for the second floor. Quartz was chosen for the countertops, providing durability and a sleek appearance. The cabinets were fitted with 4″ brushed nickel handles, adding a modern touch, while water-resistant LVT flooring was installed for longevity and easy maintenance.
Safety Measures and Steps
Throughout the remodeling process, we adhered to stringent safety protocols. We started with a thorough demolition, carefully removing the bearing wall and old fixtures. We checked all existing pipes for leaks before installing the new plumbing system. County inspections were conducted to ensure compliance with all regulations. Drywall was meticulously installed and painted. Cabinets and countertops were then fitted, followed by the installation of all hardware and General Electric appliances. Finally, a comprehensive county inspection was performed to ensure the highest quality and safety standards were met, completing the project successfully on June 4, 2023.
