Remodeling your kitchen is something most people dream of. It is also one of the best ways to increase the value of your home. Many people choose to DIY their kitchen remodel instead of hiring a professional. Whether it’s a basic remodel or a major renovation, a do-it-yourself kitchen improvement project is never an easy task to undertake. However, you can rapidly advance your work speed and minimize rookie mistakes by ensuring you have these categories of equipment and goods.

In addition, we offer heavy equipment service and maintenance, Cat parts, and so much more.

EQUIPMENT YOU WILL NEED FOR A KITCHEN REMODEL

Basic Tools First thing’s first: you’ll need to ensure you have all your basic hardware and manual tools. Any good DIY home-improver should have a solid-steel hammer equipped with a claw for ripping out studs and such, but don’t forget the other essentials like nails, screws, saws, wrenches, drivers and, if necessary, additional tools like nuts and bolts and electrical wire scissors. You’ll need protection for yourself too! We recommend, at minimum, noise-canceling or minimizing headphones or ear plugs, as well as a dust mask when sanding and removing plaster to protect your lungs. Lastly, to keep the floor from getting too messed up, lay down tarps and durable cloth anywhere you plan to be working or storing equipment and tools. Wagner Used Equipment also has a Cat Rental Store, where you can both purchase or rent a wide variety of small tools for your DIY kitchen remodel. From saws and jackhammers to drills, generators, and a mortar mixer, we offer almost any small power tool you would need to get the job done right. Contact us today to learn more. Power Tools We’ve covered the basic tools for a kitchen remodel, but let’s not forget the power tools. You’ll most likely be relying primarily on an impact driver equipped with a variety of bits since it’s so useful for cabinet construction, subfloor repairs, and plaster and drywall installation. In addition to an impact driver and bits, consider an oscillating tool to help when making small incisions and cutting out parts of your flooring or drywall. Power tools will definitely make your job go faster. Consider the difference between nailing in nails by hand or by using a drill. Since the kitchen is one of the most frequently used rooms in your home, odds are you'll want to finish up your kitchen remodel as soon as possible so you can have your kitchen back. Demolition Equipment Now here comes the fun stuff — demolition! Although most kitchens are small enough to avoid heavy-duty demolition, if you’re remodeling an industrial-sized kitchen or restaurant, odds are that you’ll need an excavator. This will dig out floors and internal plumbing you want to scrap. If a wall needs to come down to open up the space or be redone, get your sledgehammer and start swinging. Don’t worry too much about the mess, that’s what the next set of equipment is for. Again, depending on the size of your kitchen remodel, you may want to consider a used piece of heavy equipment, or a heavy equipment rental from Wagner Equipment Co. We offer many smaller pieces of heavy equipment so you can easily maneuver in your subdivision. Our mini excavators may be small, but they will certainly pack a punch, saving you hours of hard work. We also offer rental trucks and trailers to haul your mini back to your home for the duration of your project. Lifting Equipment If you want a more versatile piece of used heavy equipment that can handle every aspect of your demolition and heavy equipment needs for your DIY kitchen remodel, consider a skid steer. These also come in compact models, and with our Cat attachments, you'll be able to knock down walls, grade your lawn and foundation, and haul away all of the debris. With the tight turning radius, you should have no problems in a smaller space. Skid-steer loaders are an essential piece of heavy equipment that not enough homeowners have at the ready. These directionally steered whoppers of industrial power can lift pretty much whatever you need to transport, clear out, or even temporarily hold. Furthermore, they have a ton of different attachments and fixtures for a diverse range of demolition, construction, and functional tasks. Regardless of your precise kitchen remodeling needs, you’ll most likely benefit greatly from the rental or purchase of a skid steer. Wagner Used Equipment regularly has great deals on skid steers, small, medium, and large excavators, telehandlers, and more. With our superb heavy equipment service technicians, you can rest assured our used equipment has plenty of life left in them. Our Cat parts stores across Colorado, New Mexico, and west Texas have all of the parts you would need should natural wear and tear demand a repair. Give us a call today to see our latest deals. Utility Vehicles If you are undergoing a kitchen remodel on a farm or somewhere where you have some space to move, you might want to consider a used utility vehicle. These pieces of used equipment also bring a whole other level of versatility to not only your kitchen remodel, but to your entire farming needs. They can quickly take you out to check on the cows, or carry out a smaller hay bale. They conveniently will hold all of your hand and power tools in its cargo area. You can haul the trash out easily for the trash company on trash day. And you will have a nice vehicle to take the kids and grandkids out for a ride. Check out our selection today! Time to Design! Once you’ve finished the demolition, cleared out the mess, and put up the necessary plumbing and utility fixtures, it’s time to let the creativity flow. Think about the design scheme you want for your new kitchen, whether its a trio of blue, yellow, and white; or a verdant space characterized by varying shades of green; or perhaps an appetite-stimulating enclave with pops of red, orange, and marigold? The possibilities of kitchen design are endless, but before you can get started on beautification, you’ll need the tools that lay the groundwork. Contact Wagner Used Equipment anytime to learn more about how our high-quality heavy equipment can get you the best results from your DIY kitchen remodel. Whether it’s a rental or a full purchase, we have the demolition, excavation, and lifting equipment to get the job done within budget and without stress. Call us today!
