Tips For a Great Kitchen Remodeling In NY

If you’re considering kitchen remodeling in NY, it can be a great investment.  Kitchens hold their value well, and they’re a major selling point when you’re showing the home to buyers.  Or, if you aren’t looking to sell, having a great kitchen is truly its own reward.  You’ll be able to cook more than before and have a space you’ll love sharing with others.

Either way, kitchen remodeling can turn out great… but it takes thought and effort to get the most out of your remodeling budget.  With more than 20 years of experience in Rochester kitchen renovation, we know a few tricks to help ensure the process goes smoothly.

Four Tips For Getting The Most From Your Rochester Kitchen Remodeling

1 – Set your budget ahead of time

Kitchen remodeling can be affordable, or it can be a big cost sink, just depending on how much money you want to pour in.  It’s best to set a budget beforehand and really attempt to stay within that budget, so you don’t end up spending money you don’t need to.

2 – Have plans for living during the work

While your kitchen is being renovated, you won’t be able to use it.  This can significantly impact your daily life during the work.  You should have a firm timeframe for the job and lay plans ahead of time for how you’ll deal with it.

Sometimes you can skate by on takeout for a week, but other times, people opt to simply live in a hotel while the work is done.

On the topic, don’t forget to clean out the fridge.  Everything perishable has to go.

3 – Check your plumbing and wiring

If you’re making extensive changes to your kitchen, your existing plumbing and wiring may not be up for the job.  It’s a very good idea to bring in professionals to evaluate this.  Also, be aware that changes to the pipes or wires will require inspection and certification by your local housing authority.

4 – Don’t forget about the lighting!

We’ve seen clients come in with extensive, perfectly budgeted plans for appliances and cabinetry… and nothing left over for lighting.  You’ll want new lighting to go along with your renovation, so factor that into your plans.
