Kitchen Remodeling On a Budget – Essentials Only

Whether you want to sell your home or you just bought a home that hasn’t received any love lately, remodeling becomes somewhat necessary. When and if the time comes to sell, remodeling can actually get you better deals. When buying, remodeling can ensure better value for the money you paid. However, if you are on a budget, it is best to limit the remodeling job to the kitchen and bathrooms. And even if that doesn’t solve the money issue, make sure you are spending only on the essentials in the kitchen.

As real estate experts, we have some great tips to share regarding remodeling on a budget. Here they are.

• Countertops usually are the most expensive part of remodeling plan. High-quality laminates can save a lot of money when compared to stone or marble tops.
• If you want a stone top and not laminated ones, you can still save money by choosing grade 2 granite over grade 5.
• Save money on cabinet material, focusing on cheaper yet more functional ones.
• Never spend too much on fancy hardware such as knobs. Go for ones that you can change more often. It decreases the cost and gives you a chance to change the look every now and then.
• Use lighter colors so that you don’t have to spend a lot on artificial lighting.

Finally, remember that an amateur installation team can actually add to the overall cost. So, make sure you hire the best.
