Top Tips for Saving Money on Kitchen Renovations
by Kevin Smith AuthorRenovating your kitchen is considered one of the best
possible home investments. Many homeowners who successfully renovate a kitchen
will actually get back more than they spent in improved property values. With
such a high return, it's no wonder so many people choose to invest in
renovating their kitchens. From floor-to-ceiling changes to making smart
updated like swapping out your countertops, there are several approaches to
renovating a kitchen.
However, as profitable as kitchen improvements can be, this
work does require a significant amount of money up-front. You may be curious as
to how you can renovate your kitchen without breaking the bank.
Follow these top tips to dramatically renovate your kitchen
and still save some money.
Save Cabinetry
As much as home remodeling TV shows love to tear down
kitchens, dramatizing contractors and homeowners taking a mallet to every
wall and surface, there's actually no hard-and-fast rule that you
need to tear out your old kitchen. You can still improve your kitchen and keep
important--and valuable--components.
Take the cabinetry, for instance. Simply refinishing,
painting, or simplifying your cabinetry can improve your kitchen. You can even
uninstall cabinetry safely then relocate it for a redesign, rather
than tearing it all down and starting from scratch.
Save on
Countertops
New kitchen countertops have a huge effect on your kitchen.
Upgrading to natural stone like granite or marble makes your kitchen look far
more elegant, and also makes it more practical. Hardy and naturally beautiful
stone can even form the centerpiece of your new design and guide your other
renovation decisions.
However, there are easy ways to save on countertops, which
can potentially be very pricey. Granite fabricators in Marietta, GA, have
pre-cut slabs that are ready for installation. You can save money by investing
in these slabs rather than customizing your own set. Also, visit a granite
installer's website to learn about temporary specials they may have.
Paint
Paint goes a long way. If your kitchen looks outdated,
then it may simply need a new coat of paint. Tear down outdated wallpaper,
paint over boring, neutral surfaces, and give your kitchen a color boost for a
dramatic difference. As said previously, you can even paint your cabinetry a
bold color to make them look more modern or even brand-new. Some refreshing
color and decor can make a huge difference. You may even be satisfied with your
renovation with more colorful walls, a sleek color choice for your built-ins,
and some more colorful and elegant countertops. Granite fabricators in Marietta, GA, can help
you find the perfect naturally beautiful slab to match your new color scheme.
