How Long Does A Kitchen Remodel Take?
There is no exact timeframe for the completion of a kitchen renovation, as several factors play a role in determining how long the project will take. From the moment you decide on materials, you should plan for the completion date to be several weeks in the future. This is especially true if you are installing custom cabinets, as they usually require about eight to ten weeks to build. The extent of the renovation, as well as the availability of the materials you choose and the current workload of your contractor, will all play a role in how long the project will require for completion. Once all the materials are ready, and demolition is done, the installation process can usually be completed in a few weeks.
What Is The Cost To Remodel A Kitchen?
The cost of a kitchen renovation will vary significantly depending on how extensive the project is and the design materials, appliances, and hardware you choose. Most kitchen remodels average about $25,000 or about $150 per square foot. Be sure to work with a contractor who gives you a detailed estimate, so you know exactly what you’ll be paying for your project.
How Do I Plan For Kitchen Remodel?
The best way to start planning your renovation is to look for design inspiration in magazines or online to help you form a clear picture of the look and style you want. Coming into the process with no ideas will only make the process take longer. Once you have narrowed down your options, you should schedule a consultation where you’ll discuss your ideas with a professional. Before any work can begin, you’ll need to clear out the area and remove any personal belongings, so it’s ready on the day the work crew arrives.
What Are The Stages Of Kitchen Remodeling?
There are many stages to the remodeling process, each just as important as the last. Our team will be with you through every single step, keeping you in the loop on the progress we make every day. The basic stages of your renovation will look something like this:

Will Remodeling Kitchen Add Value To My House?
While there is no doubt remodeling your kitchen will improve the value of your home, there is some debate on just how much value it will add. Improving your home in any way will likely add value, but because the kitchen is such a focal point of your home, it’s usually the place to get the most bang for your buck. Even though a kitchen renovation will improve your home value, you shouldn’t expect to make back every penny you spend.
How Can I Cut Cost On Kitchen Remodel?
While we understand you are likely on a budget when renovating your kitchen, we don’t suggest cutting corners too drastically. Remember, you get what you pay for, so the cheaper the price, the lower the quality. Doing so can result in disappointment with the finished project because you didn’t choose to use the best quality products. The best way to save on your renovation is to postpone parts of the project instead of cutting quality. Your home is your biggest investment, so our suggestion is to invest your money in the best quality products, even if that means limiting the number of products you buy.
How Do I Remodel My Kitchen With A Tight Budget?
The best way to remodel your kitchen on a tight budget is to replace things gradually, rather than completing the entire job at once while settling for lower quality products. Maybe start with just upgrading the cabinets and painting. Then add in new appliances and lighting at a later date. This allows you to still choose high-quality products without breaking your budget.
