In this kitchen, the homeowner wanted to remove the soffits to allow the cabinets to reach the ceiling. Removing soffits does give you more vertical space, but there is always a risk that something important might be inside them. In this case, we did find some mechanical pieces for the HVAC system that needed to be rerouted. At this stage, we have removed the soffits, updated the electrical, and installed all the drywall and sheet rocking for the floor. Sheet rock prevents the tile from cracking.
