The After-Renovation Reality: Adjustments Nobody Warns You About

Even after the kitchen is finished, adjustments continue. Drawers may need alignment, doors might loosen, and small leaks or cracks can appear as materials settle.

This doesn’t always mean poor work — it’s part of renovation reality.

What matters is:

having leftover materials for repairs

keeping your contractor’s contact

addressing small issues early

The first few months are a testing period. How your kitchen handles daily cooking, cleaning, and heat will reveal what truly works.

A successful renovation isn’t one with zero issues — it’s one where problems are manageable and fixable.
