Rebuild Your Kitchen to Work Better

Complete kitchen remodeling services in Indianapolis and across Central Indiana, from cabinets to counters to flooring.

A full kitchen remodel moves beyond simple repairs to provide a comprehensive update. We replace outdated storage and worn surfaces with modern materials and a layout tailored to your lifestyle.

Opal Remodeling handles every part of the project, including cabinet installation, countertop fabrication and fitting, kitchen backsplash and tile work, new flooring, and sink replacement. You work with one team from start to finish instead of coordinating separate contractors for plumbing, cabinetry, and tile, which keeps the timeline predictable and the details consistent across the room.

If your kitchen in Indianapolis needs more than a cosmetic update, contact Opal Remodeling to review layout options, material choices, and what the full scope of work includes.

What Gets Replaced During a Full Remodel

The remodel begins with removing old cabinets, countertops, backsplash tile, and flooring down to the subfloor and wall studs. In Indianapolis, older kitchens sometimes have linoleum glued directly to wood subfloors, which requires scraping and leveling before new flooring goes down. Plumbing and electrical lines are checked, relocated if needed, and brought up to code before any new materials are installed.

After the work is complete, your cabinets will open and close without gaps, your countertop seams will sit flush, and your backsplash grout lines will run straight from end to end. New flooring eliminates soft spots and makes cleaning easier, and a new sink drops into the countertop with proper sealing so water does not seep underneath and rot the cabinet base.

Countertop options include laminate, quartz, and granite depending on your budget and how much wear the surface needs to handle. Backsplash tile can be ceramic subway tile, glass mosaic, or larger format porcelain, and grout color is matched to the tile and cabinet finish. Flooring choices include vinyl plank, ceramic tile, and engineered hardwood, and each is installed with the underlayment and expansion gaps needed to prevent cracking or buckling over time.

You Probably Have a Few Questions

Homeowners in Indianapolis usually want to know how long they will be without a kitchen, what happens to appliances during the remodel, and whether the layout can change without moving plumbing. These are the answers that help you plan before the work starts.

How long does a full kitchen remodel take?
Most projects take three to five weeks depending on the size of the kitchen and whether plumbing or electrical lines need to be moved. You will not be able to cook or use the sink during that time, so planning temporary meal options ahead helps.
What happens to my appliances during the remodel?
Appliances are disconnected, moved to another room or the garage, and reinstalled once the new cabinets and countertops are in place. If you are replacing appliances, the new ones are measured and installed after the countertop is set so everything fits correctly.
Why does the subfloor need to be checked?
Water damage from old leaks, uneven settling, or rotted plywood can cause new flooring to crack or feel soft underfoot. The subfloor is inspected during demolition, and damaged sections are replaced before tile or vinyl plank goes down.
What is the best countertop material for heavy use?
Quartz resists staining and scratching better than laminate and does not need sealing like granite does. It costs more up front but holds up well in kitchens where you cook often and do not want to worry about damaging the surface.
How do I choose a backsplash that does not look outdated?
Neutral tile colors and simple patterns last longer than trendy designs. Subway tile in white or gray, small hexagon mosaics, and three-by-six ceramic tiles in matte finishes work with most cabinet styles and do not need replacing when tastes change.
