Steps That Make A Kitchen Remodel Less Daunting

Kitchen Remodeling Sep 16

Any remodeling project requires a solid plan; otherwise, one runs the risk of failing. The area where people prepare and cook their meals is a critical part of the house. When looking to upgrade it, a homeowner must ensure that a well thought out strategy is in place to avoid wasting money and ruining the value of a property. Hiring a contractor is a crucial aspect of this endeavor, but the first consideration should be a plan. Staying Grounded With Objectives Just because a person sees a nice style on a decoration magazine doesn't mean that it's time to begin kitchen remodeling in their Livonia home. Various reasons can justify re-facing the cooking region. Its current layout may not offer enough space, a homeowner may want modern appliances and a new theme to match, or it may be necessary to get a more stylish space to boost the worth of a property for a resale. Such goals make decisions about what appliances to buy, the colors to pick, and the cabinets to install less challenging.

A person should think about the motivation for redoing the cooking area carefully. Patience Is Mandatory A rushed project is more likely to have costly mistakes. Homeowners have limitless decoration ideas to pick from and a suitable choice takes time. The planning part of a project can take months to get right. A homeowner has to consider the correct appliances to install in relation to the space available and other needs. Then, there are the features that are required in that room like drawers, countertops, and backsplash. An individual must research the various elements that will be included in the design. Living Without A Cooking Area Part of the planning process for kitchen remodeling in Livonia is adapting to the absence of this part of the house. Once the contractors start work, the household has to find other ways to prepare their meals.

Part of the budget may include money for eating out. Alternatively, a homeowner can set aside space where people can make simple dishes that don't require using the oven. The Budget Is Key Homeowners get easily sidetracked and end up spending more than intended. Between the cabinets, appliances, and fixtures, the costs can add up quickly. Then, there is the construction labor. Setting a budget eliminates the risk of overspending. The money allocated should be reasonable, depending on what a person hopes to achieve from the project. A portion should be assigned to miscellaneous expenditures. Homeowners must also account for all hidden expenses that may threaten to overrun the project. Upgrading the food preparation section of a house takes a lot of effort. Setting up a good strategy reduces the potential for errors and saves time. Preparation grants a homeowner peace of mind and eliminates decision fatigue.

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
