One of the most extensive and rewarding home improvement projects can be kitchen remodeling. As one of the most important communal areas of your home, a place where families gather to cook and to eat, remodeling your kitchen can turn a “so-so” house into a dream home. Kitchen remodeling also typically recoups a large amount of the investment cost at resale, with Maryland kitchen remodeling generally returning around 74% of the initial investment cost. Cedar Square Homes is here with some important instructions to follow should you decide to remodel your Maryland kitchen.
Be the Man (or Woman) with the Plan
The actual building and installation phase of your Maryland kitchen remodeling should take far less than the planning phase. Proper planning prevents mitigates the risk of setbacks, wasted time, and sqandered resources and will help you stick to your budget. The National Kitchen and Bath Association suggests taking at least 6 months to plan a kitchen remodeling to ensure you don’t change your mind midway through the actual construction. Make sure to measure all your space, think about what you like and dislike about your current kitchen, figure out your priorities, account for foot traffic patterns, and everything else that goes along with it.
Keep Utilities/ Walls In Place
The biggest expenses a Maryland kitchen remodeling can incur are typically associated with reconfiguring plumbing, moving electrical outlets, and knocking down/ building new walls. If you can help it, try to keep your fixtures and large appliances in the same place. This will save you on demolition/ building costs and reduce the amount of debris created.
Evaluate Appliances Realistically
It’s worth remembering that while skimping on cheap appliances can often come back to haunt you, you also don’t need to spring for the most expensive stove on the market to fully enjoy your remodeled kitchen. Remember, appliances are just tools that help prepare and store food. Of course, exceptionally talented or prolific cooks will probably want to disregard this, but the average homeowner will probably benefit more from investing in features that add significant, long-term value like flooring and cabinetry.
