Our Pro Tips For Bathroom Remodeling
December 21, 2021Reasons to start looking for a kitchen remodel firm
Every year there are trends popping up in kitchen designs and these trends might convince you that you should immediately remodel and apply a one or two (or more!) of these design trends to your kitchen. Based on the study conducted by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), which was shared in its 2021 Kitchen & Bath Market Outlook that the spending for kitchen construction and remodeling is forecasted to be at $81 billion, an increase of more than 20% compared to 2020.
This surge can be attributed to the pandemic which forced people to stay at home and work or study from the comfort of their homes. This development led people to observe certain aspects of their kitchen that need to be refurbished. On the other hand, some families transformed the kitchen into their own common room and a comfortable, modern area is needed to accommodate their new home set up.
But if you are on the safe side of the coin or you are simply undecided, or just wants to have another nudge to undergo the process, here are telltale signs that can help you decide if you should do a kitchen remodel.
Your Kitchen Needs to be Updated
If your kitchen has been in existence or has been untouched for over 10 years, then that is a solid nudge for you to do a kitchen remodel. As the most used room of the house, a kitchen’s functionality and presentation can easily wear down. There might be a bunch of fixtures that need to be changed. According to the study from NKBA, the parts of the kitchen that are prone to deterioration are faucets, plumbing fixtures, and cabinets. You might want to freshen up the paints on your cabinet, update your countertops and backsplashes, change all the fixtures, or add a spacious pantry for your food. An upgrade on your equipment will also lead you to fix up your kitchen so it can accommodate your new appliances, speaking of which….
You Want to Modernize Your Kitchen Appliances
An upgrade on your worn-out kitchen appliances will not only add value to the room but it will also help you to be sustainable. Modern kitchen appliances have the latest technology and design that can adapt to your personal preference in preparing and storing food. Some also use smart technology that is not harmful to the environment and will also help you save energy.
Functionality
As you stay longer in your house, your needs or requirements, and your lifestyle change. Your kitchen may be originally suitable for a single ladies’ night or for a boys’ night out vibe then the next thing you know you might be needing a kitchen for a two-person cooking showdown and then eventually you might get your own cute rascals running around the kitchen, or maybe you will just need a cooking and dining area that will fit in your awesome friends. Regardless of these reasons, as long as you are updated with the current trends in kitchen interior designs and does not live in solitary confinement your kitchen will continue to evolve.
Increase Resale Value
The kitchen is the first part of the house that homebuyers would like to see. If you invest on kitchen remodeling you can attract more potential customers and will surely increase the value of your property. An organized and updated kitchen will entice your buyers to eagerly pay for a premium sum since they can obviously see that they will receive value for their money. In the 2021 Cost vs. Value study a homeowner can expect to have a 72.2% recoup on a midrange minor kitchen remodel cost while a recoup of 57.4% on a midrange major kitchen remodel, and a 53.9% win back on an upscale major kitchen remodel.
You Have the Budget
Before you decide to revamp your kitchen, you should know first the price range of a kitchen remodel cost. You can request for quotations from reputable and legitimate construction companies. The area size will have an impact on the quoted price and the location of your residence, as well. According to Home Advisor, a small size area with a measurement of square feet can range between $5,000.00 - $20,000.00 while a medium size area, which measures, 100 – 150 square feet can cost $15,000.00 - $40,000.00 and finally, a large kitchen space (200 square feet and bigger) costs $30,000 - $60,000.00+. As suggested by industry experts it is ideal for a homeowner to spend 5% - 15% of the total value of the property, for example, if your property costs $500,000.00 then it is ideal for you to spend a maximum of 15% of the property value or a total of $45,000.00. This investment cost will not have an adverse effect on your resale value.
Now that you have an idea of the price range you can decide whether to go thru the remodeling or you can think of ways on how to maximize the cost of the reconstruction. Apart from the appliances and fixtures you will place in your future kitchen, you should also have in mind certain kitchen remodel ideas, such as the color of the paint you will use and other components that will influence your overall price tag.
