Are you think of remodeling your kitchen? This is one of the first things homeowners want to update in their home. The kitchen is one of the rooms your family gathers in, hours of meal preparation and planning is spent here so you want it to feel homey and be functional. Before you start tearing out the cabinets, here are a few things to consider.
How much longer are you going to live in your home?
If you are planning to sell your home in the next 1 to 2 years, it is probably best to stick it out and leave the kitchen as is. The amount of time and money the construction will take on you and your family usually does not amount to the same increase in the sales price that you may be hoping for. If you plan on staying for the long haul, make the kitchen fit your home and family’s personality. So have fun with colors, textures and even the hardware.
Don’t skimp on the important things like storage space and cabinets.
Spending more on quality cabinets will save you in the long run since they endure a lot of wear and tear in their lifetime. Think about installing deep drawers instead of low cabinets, these can increase the functionality of your kitchen. You will appreciate having easy access to your large pots and pans without having to get down on your hands and knees to dig them out of the back of your cabinets.
Do you trust your contractor?
This is a very important part of your kitchen remodel. You will be working together to design and build the perfect kitchen for your home so it is important to feel comfortable telling them what you do and do not want. It is ok to ask for references too. If they do not want to provide them to you, this can be a sign that maybe they do not deserve your trust.
