Kitchen remodels can be overwhelming but the payoff is huge. According to the Cost vs. Value Report 2020 by St. Louis Statistics, a kitchen remodel can increase your home’s value with an average ROI near 54%. From new cabinetry or flooring, an upgraded island, or adding features such as under cabinet lighting or a pot-filler- there are so many ways to upgrade your current kitchen and transform it into the kitchen of your dreams. As a top-rated kitchen remodeler, here are 5 things that we recommend that you should consider before remodeling your kitchen.
Assess Wants and Needs
When you’re considering remodeling your kitchen, it’s always a good idea to create a list of your wants and needs. For example, your needs might include more storage space, more cooking space, and new appliances. Your wants might include under cabinet lighting, high-end pulls and knobs and new flooring. When thinking about a kitchen remodel, this list of wants and needs can help you stay in your remodel budget.
Current Kitchen Layout
Whether your kitchen is outdated (Hey… the 70’s called. They want their laminate countertops back!) or you’re in need of a complete kitchen renovation. How does your current kitchen layout meet your needs? What are ways you wish your kitchen served your needs? These are all questions you should be asking yourself when you’re starting the process of remodeling your kitchen. Our in-house designer can help you envision your dream kitchen using a 3D rendering and explaining layouts such as a one-wall design, L-shaped design, and U-shaped design.
Cabinet Styles
A brand new set of lower and upper cabinets with gorgeous, shiny pulls and knobs will give your kitchen an updated, modern look. Think about all of the styles that could work with the rest of your home’s current aesthetic and your own personal taste. There are a variety of cabinet styles, colors and overlays to fit your vision- from a contemporary shaker cabinet, to a more traditional raised panel cabinet. There are endless variations to ensure that your kitchen turns out the way you want it to.
Home Preparation
One of the biggest things people seem to forget when they’re planning their kitchen remodel is what they’ll do while their kitchen is under construction. Plan ahead and set up a temporary kitchen in another part of your room with non-perishables, or stay with friends or family, or plan on eating out during the duration of the remodel.
