Introduction to Kitchen & Bath Renovations

Kitchen and bathroom renovations are among the most impactful investments a homeowner can make—improving daily life, safety, and property value. Since 1999, Craig R Wisecup has transformed kitchens and bathrooms across Gettysburg, pairing practical design with skilled execution. Whether you want a full kitchen tear-out, a modern bathroom refresh, or accessibility upgrades, our team manages every step from design coordination and permit filings to finish installation and final walkthrough.

Kitchen and bathroom projects range from cosmetic updates—painting, cabinet refacing, and new fixtures—to full-scale remodels involving new layouts, structural modifications, and mechanical upgrades. These spaces combine multiple systems: plumbing, electrical, ventilation, cabinetry, and finishes. Effective renovations solve functional problems and create beautiful, durable spaces that stand up to heavy daily use.

How Our Kitchen Renovation Process Works

Consultation & Design Assessment

We discuss lifestyle needs, desired aesthetics, and budget. Site measurements and plumbing/electrical assessments inform the plan.

Proposal & Timeline

Receive a detailed scope, schematic sketches if needed, and an itemized estimate including allowances for cabinets, countertops, and fixtures.

Permits & Prep

We file required permits, protect adjacent areas, and plan for waste removal and temporary utilities.

Demolition & Structural Work

Remove existing finishes, address any subfloor or framing issues, and install structural changes like new window openings or header supports.

Rough-In Phase

Licensed trades complete plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-ins to updated configurations.

Inspections & Preparations

We request rough inspections, install backer boards and waterproofing, and prepare surfaces for finishes.

Finish Phase

Install cabinetry, countertops, tile, fixtures, trim, doors, and final electrical and plumbing connections.

Final Walkthrough

Together we complete a detailed walkthrough and address any punch list items prior to project close.
