How to Get the Most Out of a Kitchen Remodel

The kitchen is the heart of the home, where culinary creations are brought to life and families come together over meals, conversations, and laughter. It’s no wonder homeowners cherish their kitchens and often wish for updates to better suit their cooking and entertaining needs, improve livability and add value.

With a kitchen remodel, you can upgrade worn surfaces, finishes and materials to create a kitchen that’s fresh and inviting. Kitchen updates also provide the opportunity to add new features like energy-efficient appliances, recessed lighting and more.

It’s important to have a clear idea of what you’re looking for in your kitchen remodel before beginning the process, which may involve working with a design and build team. Start by identifying your goals for the space, such as creating an open floor plan or a more functional layout, and discussing these with your Kowalske project manager. It’s also a good idea to create a timeline for the remodel and budget for the project.

Consider why you want to make changes to your kitchen and how these changes will benefit your family. Do you entertain frequently and need a larger kitchen to accommodate guests? Do you cook a lot and desire a custom fit with quality appliances and plenty of storage? Do you want to update to a more energy-efficient kitchen with LED lighting and ENERGY STAR appliances, which can also save you money on your monthly utility bills?

A kitchen remodel can be an overwhelming project, especially if you remain in the home during construction. If you decide to stay, it’s recommended that you find an area in the house away from construction that you can escape to for solitude and relaxation during this time. Having a designated room where you can cook meals, wash dishes, and keep food in storage will help maintain sanity during your kitchen remodel.

If you’re planning to sell your home in the future, a well-done kitchen remodel can be a significant selling point for potential buyers. It will improve your home’s overall value and encourage a quick, easy sale.
