Successful Kitchen Remodeling Job Tips
There’s more to a successful kitchen remodel that wandering through a showroom, picking out some cabinets and selecting paint color. You need to identify what you need, what you want, and your budget.
Dream Book. Start collecting pictures from magazines, on-line articles, and Pinterest. If you are one of the last remaining people that haven’t used Pinterest, now is the time to start. Identify what you like and what you dislike. As you look at pictures note what colors, lines, and textures appeal to you. When you have a dream book, it is much easier to sit down with your designer and communicate your wishes. Speaking of wishes, make sure that you include a wish list. If you have special desires, such as certain cabinet features or countertop height, include those in the wish list as well.
Determine Budget. Know how much you are willing to spend before you sit down with a designer. Don’t be afraid to tell the designer upfront any cost concerns you have. A seasoned designer can work within your budget constraints to come up with a design that meets your needs. But, they need to know the budget upfront. As a rule, you can figure that your budget will be allocated:
- 30% Cabinets
- 23% Design and Installation
- 15% Walls, Ceilings, Floors
- 12% Appliances
- 10% Counters
- 10% Electrical, Plumbing, Ventilation
Your budget will always go further if you keep the existing layout. This stretches the budget because electrical, plumbing, and walls don’t need to be moved.
Pick the Right Kitchen Remodel Partner – Why Chose A Design Build Firm
This is by far the most important step in a successful kitchen remodeling. Instead of hiring a designer and then picking a building contractor, pick a design and build firm from the beginning. In the long run you will save money and have much less stress. A design and build company like Inspired Remodels has the staff necessary to provide the design services to bring your kitchen remodel dreams to life and the construction crew to make it happen.
Inspired Remodels will perform a consultation with you in your existing kitchen. Then taking into account your vision for the completed project and your budget they will artfully craft a design that incorporates colors, lines, and textures to achieve the look you want.
There’s no scratching your head while you look at blueprints when you work with Inspired Remodels. Before you approve your kitchen remodel you will review a CADD design that allows you to view a 3-D rendering of your new kitchen. This 3-D rendering will reflect your kitchen layout and incorporate the cabinet finishes you have selected.
