What to Consider When Remodeling a Kitchen?

Have you decided to hire a home remodeling contractor to upgrade your kitchen, yet you’re unsure of the questions you should keep in mind throughout the process? Luckily for you, we’ve provided a short list below of what to consider when remodeling a kitchen:

1. How much are you willing to pay for high-quality cabinetry?

• Your cabinetry will be exposed to a lot of moisture and smoke over the years, and it will need to stand the test of time.
• Are you willing to pull from the appliances budget to enhance other parts of the kitchen?

• Choose appliances that will create value in your life, rather than ones that are merely aesthetically pleasing.
• Do you want extra space, or are you content with less?
• What sort of appliances do you want, and how much space will they require?

• Do you need a high-end cooking stove that they use at restaurants, or would you be happy with something a little more reasonably priced?
• Do you need a second sink for a second person to prep food, wash hands for dinner, etc.
• Will you get much use out of a wine fridge?
• What sort of lighting system would you like?

• Large windows,
• Recessed lighting,
• Dimmer switches,
• Lighting under the cabinets,
• Etc.
• What will the current layout allow us to do in this space?

• Do additional water lines need to be put in?
• Do you need a new range hood, and are the vents / ducts currently placed where the new stove will go?
• Do heating and air conditioning lines need to be re-routed?
• Does everything in your vision have a functional purpose?

• It’s important to consider how you are utilizing every inch of space available, from where the pots and pans will go to having the dishwasher placed in a standard sized cubby between cabinetry.
• Have you viewed the contractor’s previous work, and are you satisfied with it?

• It’s important to do your research to ensure that you’re receiving the best service at the best price, which is our mission at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen.
