Kitchen Remodeling
The decision to remodel a kitchen can either be stemmed from a necessity or a desire. Whether it's for functionality or visual appeal, a kitchen remodel is always an improvement. Unfortunately, remodeling a kitchen can be a major project and a pricey one at that. Here are some things to keep in mind when planning a kitchen remodel:
​
Hiring A Contractor for Your Kitchen Remodel Verse Doing it Yourself
Doing it yourself might be a good way to go about a kitchen remodeling if you have the skills, knowledge, and tools to do so. A DIY remodel costs anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 and beyond. This way ensures that fewer strangers will have access to your house, but it can also take much longer for the project to be complete.
​
If you don’t want to wait months to use your new kitchen, then hiring a contractor will be beneficial. Going through a contractor can cost $20,000 to $100,000 depending on specific items and details. However, if anything goes wrong, you have a professional by your side to help make it right.
​
Why Are You Remodeling Your Kitchen?
​
When planning a kitchen remodel, keep in mind who will be using it. If you are doing a remodel to make it look nicer and easier to sell, then going basic will help reduce the price but still improve the appeal. If you spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking, then the focus might be appliances and functionality over a fancy look. Deciding what is most important will help determine where to focus the majority of the expense and more easily manage the budget.
​
Make Sure Your Remodel Has Both Functionality and Visual Appeal
It's really easy to go overboard on the budget when picking out cabinets, backslash, counteracts, flooring and fixtures. The details that can tie a room together can also break the bank if you're not careful. Be sure to do some research before choosing these items. There are beautiful and affordable options out there.
​
When making decisions on the remodel, don’t make it all about visual appeal. Be sure to address problem areas such as plumbing, lighting, and ventilation. These underlying things are very important and if left unprepared, will cause more problematic issues down the road. Remember that the kitchen is a highly used room in the house and the more functional it is, the happier you will be.
