It is also worthwhile to consider having a green kitchen, such as using recycled materials for worktops and floors, double glazing windows, and installing only energy efficient appliances such as induction cookers. This shows others that you care, are socially responsible, and also helps save you money in the long run.

I have been looking into refinishing my cabinets. Although after shopping online I might just replace them. Buying cabinets online can save you thousands over places like lowes or home depot.

Sometimes it can be cheaper to update things like doors and handles on kitchen units and a the worktop. especially in this recession.

well, the 5-15% rule is interesting. i hadn’t thought of it that way. in any case, it’s not doubt that remodeling the kitchen will add value to the home. it also seems to be the heart of the home. and as such, you need to be happy with the results yourself first. and i also second the comments about adding like a 10% fudge factor on the budget. there are some things you can’t foresee. good post.

Like the article said the first question usually is how much will it cost? You have to be willing to spend. Quality work requires equal pay. You pay for what you get. If your planning on not staying in the home long you may not want to spend the cost to remodel your kithcen though.

I have always found that redoing the kitchen as well as the bathrooms increase the value of a home, so doing the kitchen is very well worth the money that you spend, rather have some thing that is user friendly even to yourself if you going to still be in that home for a couple of years, even though the kitchen and bathrooms usually cost the most when it comes to remolding, but at the end of the day its worth every cent that you do spend.

Now is a good time to do it since labor is cheaper due to a sluggish economy.

In my experience, every time I do a project I end up over budget. always seems like I get into things I didn’t expect. MY suggestion is, Whatever you figure out your cost will be, add 50% to that so you will be covered.

Make sure that you think about where you want the keypads for your home alarm system — once you put it up, it is difficult to change. The kitchen is a popular place for these.

i know that remodeling a kitchen can be expensive, and its hard to guess how much so sometimes, but i think it is worth it in the long run, especially if you are thinking of moving, it can really boost the appeal of your home.

This is excellent advice surrounding a kitchen remodel. As a Realtor I especially like your comments surrounding looking at the return on investment. Like you mention if you are only going to be in home for a few years it may not make sense.

I want to be my own contractor to redue my kitchen, but I need a good set of plans with some style. I prefer to have an online designer. Anyone heard of RDC Architects? I believe they do online work

What are your thoughts on being your own GC. I think if you know what needs to be done and you have a decent knowledge of the process you can source your own labor.

I find that posting your jobs on craigslist will get a good response.

A GC can increase your price easily by 10-30%. Keep in mind that when you pay a GC they handle all the nitty gritty.

Remodeling the kitchen does raise home value. I can attest to this. I put about 10% of the value of the home into a remodel. Two years later, I sold the house for about 15% more than the value it was two years before (before the remodel). No I can’t say I got exactly 10% of that 15% from the remodel, but it had a major impact–the buyer listed the new kitchen as a major reason for the purchase.

I appreciate the fact that you mentioned that remodeling does increase the value of the house. This is what i always say myself when advising people on kitchen remodeling. It’s good to know you can still get some good advise online

Thanks
