Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to first install a countertop?

When installing countertops and backsplash, make sure you install the countertop first. This will allow for you to measure and cut your backsplash to match the countertop. For proper backsplash installation, the countertop must be installed before any appliances and plumbing fixtures.

How can a kitchen remodel impact your home's worth?

Up to 20% increase in value can be achieved by renovating your kitchen. Major remodels can run from $40,000 to $150,000 so you need to think about how much you can spend and what return you expect.

It is important to choose a kitchen design that appeals to many buyers if you are planning on selling your house soon. Avoid putting off potential buyers by sticking with neutral colors and classic styles.

You are more free to design your own kitchen if you don’t intend on selling your home soon. Take into consideration what your kitchen is used for and how it should look and feel. Are you a frequent host? You might want to think about a layout that provides ample prep space and plenty of room for your guests. Are you passionate about cooking? You may be willing to splash out on more expensive appliances.

No matter your plans, a kitchen remodel can be a great way to increase your home's value. For the best results, it is important to do your research and find a trustworthy contractor.

What is the best kitchen layout?

If there is enough space, an L-shaped layout with an island kitchen is best.

What should I consider first when remodelling my kitchen?

There is no right or wrong answer as everyone's priorities will vary. Consider how the room is laid out, what type of appliances are needed, what style of countertops and cabinets you prefer, and what storage space you require.

Once you've decided on your must-haves, you can look at different kitchen designs to see what options are available. If you're working with a limited budget, it's often best to start with the big-ticket items like appliances and cabinets, then fill in with minor details like paint colours and light fixtures.

It is important to take things one by one so that your kitchen remodel goes exactly as you planned.

How To

How do you choose a kitchen remodeling contractor?

These tips can help you make the right choice when hiring a Kitchen Remodel contractor.

Ask around to find out what friends have to say about their experiences dealing with different contractors. This is a great opportunity to get honest feedback from those who are familiar with the contractors. Ask about their work ethic, professionalism, cleanliness and punctuality. Also, consider asking if they had any problems with the contractor. What was their solution?
Get quotes from multiple companies. Give a detailed description of the project and explain why it is important to you to hire someone else. Tell them you're looking for someone who specializes in kitchen remodels. Also include details about the room's size, type of materials, and so on. It is important to specify the type of finish that you are looking for (e.g., countertops or cabinets, backsplash, flooring). Do not forget to tell them any special requests you have for the project. Are you looking to have new appliances installed? Do you want a particular style of cabinetry? Would you like to have a special feature such as a wine fridge or built-in oven?
Check to see if the company has worker's comp and insurance. To check if the contractor is part of any trade organizations, go online. It is always best to choose a company that is a member of a respected organization.
Talk to the contractor about your project. Ask them questions about their experience, qualifications, and methods. Ask them how they would approach your project, and what timeline they envisage.
Get references from former clients. You shouldn't just trust a contractor; get references. Call the names he recommends from his list of references. Ask them if you can speak with them about their positive experiences working for this contractor.
See past customers' reviews on sites like Yelp. Angie's List. and Houzz. These sites are popular for homeowners who want to leave feedback after they've completed projects. If there are positive reviews, you can be assured you will get a great job.
To plan your kitchen remodel, you might consider hiring a professional kitchen designer. An experienced designer will have a better understanding of what looks best in your particular kitchen. A skilled designer will also know the latest trends in kitchens.
