Home Remodel Recommendations For Your Kitchen Update

Your home's kitchen is one of the most used areas of your home, and it will get quite a bit of wear and tear over time, requiring some renovations and remodeling. Here are some recommendations and tips to help you plan and carry out a successful kitchen remodel project.

Plan Your Changes

There are a lot of different additions you can add to your kitchen remodel. From flooring to the wall color, and with new appliances and new cabinets and countertops, there can be quite a large budget requirement. However, depending on your budget, you will need to decide which options you absolutely need and what other updates you can compromise on. 

For example, if you need new appliances in your kitchen, look at upgrading to appliances that are matching or stainless steel, which will boost the value of your improvements. You may want to splurge on your fixtures, including the faucet, lighting, and sink. This will not cost as much as doing a full remodel but it will add a big impact to your kitchen's appearance and quality.

Look at Resurfacing Options

There are a lot of different upgrades and improvements that you can put into your kitchen remodel, and some of them will take quite a chunk out of your budget. One of the more expensive portions of a kitchen remodel is to replace the kitchen cabinets. Your kitchen cabinets are an essential part of your kitchen, so you won't want to replace your kitchen cabinets with sub-par materials because this will affect your kitchen use and storage options.

Instead of tearing out your existing kitchen cabinets, you should consider resurfacing or repainting them. You can remove all the hardware from your cabinets and drawers, then remove the finish from the surface of your cabinets with a sanding block then apply paint onto them. You can also sand the finish and stain from the cabinets and apply a new stain and protective sealant. Then, with new hardware, your cabinets will be restored and improved in appearance. You can also opt for a professional to refinish your cabinets, which can be a large savings in your remodel budget.

Another refinish option is to refinish your countertops, as they can be another high-cost part of your kitchen remodel. Contact a countertop professional or ask your remodeling contractor about refinishing options to refinish your laminate countertop to have an improved appearance.
