“Kitchen remodel survival” tips (so your life doesn’t stop)

By Cali Dream Construction | January 09, 2026 | San Diego

Even a well-managed remodel disrupts routines. A few planning moves help a lot:

• set up a temporary coffee + microwave station (garage, laundry, or dining room)

• plan for food storage (cooler, mini fridge, or spare fridge)

• batch cook before demo week

• decide how deliveries will be handled (and where boxes will go)

• protect pathways if you’re living in the home during work

A contractor who plans these logistics with you can make the experience dramatically less stressful.
