Things to Consider Before Remodeling Kitchens

Anderson & Rodgers • June 21, 2019

At Anderson & Rodgers Construction , we want you to love your home. Whether you’re a new homeowner who wants to make your home more your style or you’ve owned your home for years and want to change things up, we are here to help you every step of the way. We specialize in remodels and are here today to talk about the things you should consider when remodeling your kitchen. Your kitchen is a sacred space and should accommodate your cooking, entertaining, and storage needs. A lot of factors go into remodeling but one of the first things you should do is set some goals.

Start by reflecting on why you’re remodeling. What factor is most important to you?

Kitchen Size

How your kitchen will look depends a lot on the square footage you have to work with. A lot goes on in a kitchen and we want to optimize all your available space. The size of your space will dictate what can and cannot be done. Do you have room for an island? Is there a way to squeeze in extra storage? Can you knock out a wall to extend your kitchen to be a more open layout? These are all questions to consider that we will gladly help you with.

Existing Layout

In more cases than not, you don’t have to be locked into your existing layout. If you don’t like where your windows or doors are, we can discuss your options and see if it’s possible to move them to a more convenient location. If you’re on a tight budget, using your existing layout can be a great way to save money in the long run. However, being able to move around easily and have seamless workflow goes a long way, especially in your kitchen. Think about moving around your kitchen, and if you wish it could be easier, we can talk about your layout options. For example, moving the sink or appliances to make things more efficient. We will work together to determine what can be adjusted.

Budget

To ensure you stay in your budget, make clear decisions from the beginning on what you want. The quickest way to go over your budget is to change your mind in the final stages. Decide where you want to save and where to splurge. If you aren’t sure what your budget should be, we recommend figuring between 6-10% of your home value. This is especially important to consider if you’re hoping to resell your home so that you’re able to return money on your investment. No matter what, we will always work within your budget and create something that you love.
