Back office for Kitchen Remodeling
Six-to-twelve-week remodels managed milestone by milestone.
Full and partial kitchen renovations — from cosmetic refreshes to mid-range remodels to major redesigns with layout changes and rough-ins coordinated with licensed trades. The longest, most coordination-heavy niche: 6–12+ weeks with phased dependencies, material lead times, and a customer living without a kitchen.
Configured for Kitchen Remodeling
Not generic software. Your trade's operating system.
The pack covers the remodel lifecycle — design selections, line-item proposals, phase-sequenced execution around lead times, milestone sign-offs, and punch-list tracking — across Core & Demo, Cabinets & Counters, and Features & Finish work areas.
Milestone-tied payments
Your Deputy configures per-project line-item proposals with allowances and a milestone payment schedule — deposit, demo complete, cabinets set, counters set, final — so billing tracks visible progress.
Change-order discipline
Change orders are priced, documented, and signed by the customer before any change work begins — never proceeded with silently.
Dependency-first scheduling
The phase sequence is built around material lead times — cabinets ordered before demo, templating only after cabinets are set level and plumb — with lead times and quiet weeks communicated up front.
Your workflow pack
Every phase configured before you log in.
Your back office ships with these phases built for Kitchen Remodeling — tasks, checklists, and QA gates included.
Intake & Scheduling
Scope tier captured (cosmetic, mid-range, major), kitchen dimensions and must-haves logged, budget matched to the scope tier — no emergency tier.
Quote & Approval
Detailed line-item proposal: scope, materials, allowances, phased timeline, milestone payment schedule, and the change-order process — never a firm quote without a site visit and finalized selections.
Core & Demo
Floors and adjacent rooms protected with dust barriers; demo and debris haul; framing, rough-in coordination, and drywall; flooring per the sequence plan; phase photo and milestone sign-off.
Cabinets & Counters
Cabinet delivery verified against the order; cabinets installed level and plumb; countertops templated only after install, then set with seams sealed; sink installed with faucet connections coordinated.
Features & Finish
Backsplash tiled, grouted, and sealed; appliances set with fit and connections verified; hardware, trim, and caulk installed; punch list completed with the customer present; care, warranty, and finish documentation delivered.
QA & Closeout
Cabinet install checked level and plumb before templating; each trade's work inspected before the next phase starts; punch list tracked to zero; manager walks the finished kitchen before final invoice.
Invoicing & Review
Final invoice per the milestone schedule; 30-day check-in for settling issues; referral ask; review requested.
Quoting, our way: Cabinet lead times, milestone dependencies, and quiet-week communication go in the proposal; signed change orders before any change work. Per-project line-item quotes with material allowances and milestone payments.
How a job flows
From first call to paid invoice.
Consultation and design
In-home consultation: measurements, layout discussion, lifestyle needs — with a layout to react to and a realistic timeline with dependencies explained.
Quote and contract
Detailed line-item proposal: scope, materials, allowances, phased timeline, milestone-tied payment schedule, and a written answer to what happens when something changes.
Pre-construction
Permits pulled where required; materials ordered around cabinet lead times — the critical path — with a firm start date set once materials are confirmed.
Phase execution
Demo, rough-in, cabinets, template, counters, backsplash, finishes — each phase photographed, each trade's work inspected before the next begins, hidden surprises reported immediately with options and costs.
Final walkthrough
Punch list completed; the customer tests every drawer, door, outlet, and appliance; care and warranty documentation delivered.
Final payment and follow-up
Final milestone payment; 30-day check-in for settling issues like caulk shrinkage and adjustments; review requested.
Proof on every job
Evidence your customers can see.
Every Kitchen Remodeling job carries photo and documentation standards — dispute prevention built into the workflow.
- ✓ Before/after photos per phase — demo, rough-in, cabinets, counters, finished.
- ✓ Milestone sign-offs tied to the payment schedule.
- ✓ Change orders documented with customer signature before work; punch list tracked to zero.
- ✓ Final walkthrough sign-off with care and warranty pack.
Our boundary, stated plainly: Timelines are given as phased schedules with named dependencies — never an exact completion date — and work is never claimed as code-compliant; that determination belongs to licensed trades and inspectors.
