Kitchen Remodeling

Posted in Interior Design

Kitchen remodeling continues to be one of the most popular of all remodeling projects in the United States.  A remodeled kitchen that is modern, efficient, well designed and attractive adds a great deal of value to any home.  Kitchen remodels vary in size and scope depending upon the homeowner’s needs and budgets.  In some cases the kitchen remodeling could involve only the replacement of flooring and countertops, where in other cases an addition to the home could be built to accommodate a completely new and much larger gourmet kitchen.  One thing that all kitchen-remodeling projects have in common is the long lead times for materials, especially cabinets and tops.  Often cabinets take up to two months to obtain, as they are typically built when they are ordered.  Tops can take up to two weeks to fabricate after the cabinets are installed. 

Many homeowners find it beneficial to engage a contractor that specializes in remodeling projects early on in the process.   A qualified and experienced remodeling contractor will be able to manage the long lead times and schedule the project based upon the delivery date of the long lead time items.   Design build is becoming a very popular option in residential construction, because of the reduced risk to the homeowner as well as the reduction in the overall build time of the project.  In addition, to managing the entire design process, based upon the homeowner’s guidelines, the design build contractor will be able to provide updated budgets as the design process and selections take place.  

Kitchen remodeling is an excellent means for a homeowner to increase the value of their home, as well as the functionality!
