Deep frost depth and heavy snow load shape everything structural here, from footing depth to ice-dam protection at the eaves.
Moving the sink or range means moving supply, drain and vent. A drain needs its fall, so relocating a sink across the room is a floor-system question, not a cosmetic one.
Ventilation gets skipped and should not. A sealed modern kitchen with a high-CFM hood and no make-up air can backdraft a water heater or fireplace.
What the job includes
- Layout and work-triangle planning

- Range hood and make-up air
- Flooring, tile and backsplash
