@Itsme : Lucky you ! I'd love to have a gas range in the house . When we remodeled in 2014 I was also tearing out all the counters & backsplash in the kitchen so I planed on bringing a gas line in & water at my stove top at that time . This remodel was 7 mos long because I had all kinds of problems with the company & I just forgot I had that in my contract . Once I realized it was to late . I really learned something with this remodel . When things start off bad don't think it will get better , get rid of the contractor right then .
