If you are living with an outdated or dysfunctional kitchen, a remodel is probably high on your list of home improvement projects. Most homeowners agree the kitchen is the most important room in their home, with trends continuing toward it being a gathering space for more than mealtime. How much time and money you invest in a renovation, however, can be a difficult decision.
The experts at Precision Siding & Construction suggest you consider how you use your kitchen and your plans for staying in your home when you begin planning a kitchen remodel in Akron Ohio. While major remodels can be costly, the great news is kitchen renovations bring the highest return on investment of just about any home improvement project.
Whether you are renovating to sell your house in the short term or in a few years, it pays to keep those plans in mind as you consider your remodel. More than half of home buyers report that a move-in ready kitchen is a big factor in their decision to buy, so renovate for your living habits, but consider look and function for future owners. The Precision remodeling team provides the following tips:
- If you are renovating to sell, stick with small things that get a lot of mileage for not a lot of cost, such as new cabinet doors and hardware, fresh paint, or replacing an older appliance.
- A damaged countertop will detract from the whole kitchen and should always be replaced. Laminate is an inexpensive way to dramatically improve the appearance of your kitchen.
- If you will be staying in your home for a few years, a midrange type remodel is a worthwhile investment, including replacing cabinets, moving walls, and creating a new layout that suits your lifestyle.
- Before choosing high-end materials for countertops and flooring and high-tech appliances, research what is in demand in your neighborhood and the value of your home. An upscale remodel could price you above your market and reduce your ROI.
- Consult our design team to learn how you can design a kitchen that fits your family and your budget.
