Frequently Asked Questions For Kitchen Remodeling In New Hampshire
What is the difference between home renovation and home remodeling?
A renovation focuses on refreshing a space without changing its structure—think of projects like repainting walls, replacing flooring, or updating fixtures.
Remodeling, however, involves altering the layout, structure, or function of a space, such as removing walls to create an open floor plan or expanding a room.
What is home remodeling?
Home remodeling is the process of changing a home’s design, structure, and functionality. It can be as simple as updating a single room, like a kitchen or bathroom, or as complex as renovating an entire house to create a completely new living environment.
What are the stages of a home remodel?
The stages of a home remodel typically include:
- Planning and design
- Permitting
- Demolition
- Structural work and framing
- Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC updates
- Insulation and drywall
- Flooring installation
- Cabinetry, built-ins, and trim work
- Painting and finishing touches
- Final walkthrough and project completion

Why is home remodeling important?
Your home is where life happens—it’s where you relax, celebrate, and make memories. A well-designed, functional, and beautiful home supports your lifestyle, reduces stress, and adds value to your property. Remodeling helps create a space that reflects your personal taste and meets your evolving needs.
Should I remodel my kitchen, bathroom, or whole home first?
Prioritize based on your lifestyle needs, budget, and goals. If your kitchen is the heart of your home, start there. If your bathroom feels outdated and inefficient, it might be time for an upgrade. Considering multiple areas? A whole home remodel may offer better cost efficiency and design cohesion.
Do I need permits for a home remodel in New Hampshire?
Yes, many remodeling projects require permits, especially those involving structural changes, electrical work, or plumbing updates. We handle all permitting for our clients to ensure compliance with local regulations.
Can I live in my home during a remodel?
It depends on the project’s size and scope. For smaller projects, like a single bathroom remodel, it’s usually possible. For larger renovations, especially whole home remodels, temporary relocation may be more comfortable. We work with you to minimize disruptions.
Why choose Rothrock Kitchen & Bath Remodeling for my project?
