If You Are a DIY-er, Sit This One Out!

There are many home projects that skilled or handy DIY-er’s can achieve but when it comes to kitchens, you will want to trust a team of professionals. Fredericksburg kitchen remodeling often includes complex tasks from pipework to electrical - for safety and compliance reasons you will want to get it right!
Bigger Isn’t Always Better
When researching and planning your kitchen remodel its important to consider the restraints and functionality of the space. While small kitchens can certainly be a nightmare, large kitchens can present their own functionality issues, making them impractical. Here are things to consider when planning your kitchen layout:
1. The size of your family
2. The amount of cooking you do & the utensils you use
3. Is there a dining area inside the kitchen
4. How much storage do you need?
Cut Corners will Leave You With Regrets
For most people budgeting your kitchen remodel is the most stressful part of the process. Its normal to look for ways to cut costs (or corners) to save yourself hundreds of dollars. Just remember the cutting corners by compromising quality will end up costing you more in the long run! Repairs and replacements down the road will be expensive and the emotional toll will be heavy as well. Choosing the right general contractor like Clear River Contracting will advise you on the right ways to save money and will ensure the highest level of quality from start to finish.
Avoid Doing The Remodel in “Phases”
Similar to above, we know that budgeting is stressful and it might be tempting to perform the remodel in “phases” to break up costs. Trust us, this is a mistake and will end up costing you more in the long run. Cabinet’s, appliances, counters, and other materials are always changing - avoid continuity issues down the road by making all selections up front for better results!
Plan How You Will Function During Construction
Kitchen remodel timelines will depend on the size and scope of the project. If major structural changes such as removing walls or changing layouts is happening then its safe to say the remodel will take a bit longer. Plan ahead for how you and your family will live and function during the renovation period.
