Housing in Lafayette: Kitchen Remodeling

 

Kitchens are the center of home life and a source of beauty (Food is a beauty, don’t you think?). Sometimes homeowners spend more money to design their kitchen than the other parts of their house. A notable amount of costs may be saved or recovered if you consider and review some crucial factors before remodeling your kitchen. To maximize the efficiency in both budget and work you can follow some strategies:

 

Planning:

Actually, you need more time for planning than the time required for construction. This will reduce the amount of time you’re inconvenienced by construction mayhem. Also, you need to stay on budget. How much time should one spend in planning? According to National Kitchen and Bath Association it should be at least six months. You won’t need to change your mind during construction if you plan carefully. Changing might inflate construction costs. A common mistake many homeowners make is buying an extra-large fridge that can’t get it in the doorway. Don’t get upset about the door’s size later, but design the right size you need before construction. You can create a drawing of your kitchen with measurements for counters, walkways, height and width of the doorways etc. For multiple cooks, work aisles should be 42 inches wide and at least 48 inches wide. You must estimate how many person are going to use your kitchen. Do not waste free space for kitchen if only one person is there to cook. Estimate the number of drawers or shelves in base cabinets and their proper heights. Plan for the unforeseeable and expect the unexpected. You need to set a compact time limit for the construction. Want to finish in Thanksgiving? Then make the plane to finish it before Halloween. Also, choose all your fixtures and materials. Take advice from contractors, in this way you can lessen the risk of delays. A professional designer can review or simplify the model you planned.

Get Real About Appliances:

Don’t get carried away with fanciness while designing your new kitchen. A luxury-brand and six-burner commercial-grade range refrigerator may make eye-catching centerpieces but they might not fit your lifestyle. Appliances are used to cook and store food. Your kitchen remodel should not be about them but about the entire kitchen. If you are a professional cook or have a habit of cooking so much, then you need to concentrate on the appliances. Otherwise you need to consider the functionality of the kitchen.

 

Keeping the Same Footprint:

Changing the location of electrical outlets and plumbing pipes will magnify the cost and is unnecessary for remodeling. Sometimes homeowners forget about this fact and waste their budget on breaking walls. If possible, keep water fixtures, appliances and walls in the same location. You can save on reconstruction and demolition costs and you will cut the amount of dust your remodeling produces.
