Construction changes are by far the best investments in a kitchen renovation. Most home owners instead like to focus on cabinet, appliance, and countertop upgrades. While those upgrades can be nice and add some value to a kitchen renovation project they pale in comparison to the investment rewards that removing a wall, moving a doorway, or enlarging or moving a window can add to a homes net worth.
The Best Investment in Kitchen Renovation
Quite often, homeowners, real estate agents, and contractors have a hard time envisioning kitchen renovation changes and think they would be too troublesome and expensive. When you can’t envision a kitchen transformed by radical design improvements you focus on what you can envision. Colors and material upgrades. When actually, these structural changes are less expensive and troublesome that you would think. Don’t live with a dysfunctional space because you think remodeling is a hassle. Life’s about thriving, not just surviving. With a little time and effort, you could have the kitchen you’ve always wanted.
Are Color & Appliance Upgrades the Best Investment?
Homeowners can focus on color selections such as getting a custom Dove White painted finish over an Egg Shell finish. Or choosing a Navy Blue finish over a more common Gray. These type of color upgrades quite often can cost several thousand dollars. Selecting professional appliances, such as a Sub Zero refrigerator and a Wolf cooktop or range, would cost at least 8 thousand dollars more than selecting a GE profile slide-in range and counter depth refrigerator.
The eight thousand dollars difference could pay for ALL the following construction changes: Removing a load bearing wall, moving gas and plumbing lines, enlarging and lowering a window, and adding patio doors. Any one of those changes, and certainly all of them, would transform a home. While the appliance upgrades would be nice, the construction changes could make a home tens of thousands of dollars more valuable than others in that neighborhood. Once you have the proper bones in place, most appliance upgrades could always be done later.
Consider the Best Investment options in your Kitchen Remodel
So, when thinking about a kitchen renovation, start with construction design improvements that can make the best return on your investment. Then, focus on cabinets, color, and appliance upgrades to make your kitchen the kitchen of your dreams.
