Treat removal and replacement as separate scopes

List what will be removed, what will remain and what may need professional assessment after finishes come off. Ask your contractor to identify disposal, protection of retained surfaces and temporary arrangements while the kitchen is unavailable. These responsibilities should be visible even when the product quote is prepared separately.

For the design discussion, bring room photos, a rough sketch and appliance models. Identify the main storage or preparation problem you want to solve. Keep options that move walls or utilities distinct from a plan that replaces products within the current arrangement.

• Document existing conditions before work starts.
• Assign protection, removal and waste-handling responsibilities.
• Verify final measurements before approving the product order.

Ask about interior-demolition requirements

Chattanooga’s residential demolition resource says renovations involving interior removal of materials may require a demolition permit, regardless of project size. Ask the city and your contractor whether the proposed tear-out needs that approval and any related review before work begins.

This source applies to Chattanooga, not every property in the Tennessee–Georgia metro. Confirm the jurisdiction for nearby county or Georgia addresses and coordinate the applicable demolition, building and trade requirements for the complete project.

Compare the replacement package completely

Match cabinet dimensions, construction, finish, drawer hardware and accessories. Check finished panels, fillers and trim. Ask countertop providers to state material, templating, cutouts, fabrication and installation rather than relying on an undefined surface allowance.

Combine product pricing with removal, delivery, installation, trade work, taxes and membership costs. Keep contingency items and exclusions separate. Agree on receiving checks and substitution approval so the installed kitchen can be reconciled with the product schedule you actually approved.

Explore materials in person

Ask HIBC about showroom options near your project in Chattanooga area. Share your city, state and product interests so visit arrangements and availability can be confirmed separately. Our service begins online.

Can a small kitchen tear-out still need approval?

Yes. Chattanooga’s guidance says interior material removal for a renovation may require a demolition permit regardless of size. Confirm the exact scope with the city before beginning removal.

Review and membership costs

Your initial kitchen review is free and does not enroll you. Gold membership is a separate purchase: $4,995 initial enrollment includes Year 1, with $495 annual continuation beginning in Year 2 under the checkout terms. Detailed complimentary kitchen design is a Gold membership benefit. Include membership in a complete-cost comparison; actual savings depend on your products and alternative quotes.

Start with your project

Share your project city and state, kitchen photos or a rough sketch, and your top priorities. The free initial review is separate from Gold membership.
