Surprising Things That Can Add Value to Your Home
Kitchen Remodeling Jul 18
When it comes to getting a home ready for sale, the biggest thing on the homeowner’s mind is what they can do in order to get their home sold in the quickest amount of time for the greatest amount of money. For the most part, conventional wisdom is correct and investing in something like a bathroom remodel or kitchen remodeling in Livonia will give you the greatest amount of return on your investment. However, raising your home’s value isn’t just a matter of grand gestures. A lot of the time, it’s the smaller things that you do that can make quite a difference as well. Here are some slick smaller things you can do that may pay off in the end. Smart Homes: You don’t have to be a tech wizard to reap the benefits.
A lot of people talk about the benefits of automation in terms of making your life easier, but how about saving money? For example, smart appliances like toilets and faucets help minimize water use, which means more savings on your utility bill. For how much people pay for these, this will help sell things in its own right soon enough. Evergreen Design Concepts: It’s a bit of a struggle to decide what this means, but there are a couple of easy decisions you can make, like painting neutral colors on the wall. This doesn’t apply to every surface, though, like the ceiling for example. We’re starting to see a lot more homeowners using their ceilings for some exciting designs, whether it’s painting different colors or using wallpaper to create added texture. `Natural Infusions: Tech in the home is a good thing. However, some people feel that using too much of it tips the vibe of a house into too much of a sterile direction. One way that people get around this is through using natural furnishings.
This can include a new piece of furniture made from natural materials like wooden stools or countertops. Wall artwork is another way to put it in if you don’t want to deal with maintaining wood.The nice thing about everything we mentioned is that you don’t have to do it all at once. This means that you can get your expansive remodel done, then work on one or two of these a few months later without giving yourself a financial headache—always a plus. If it helps, you may want to consult with a realtor or design expert before you get underway to know what things you can do that can have the most impact for the least effort—something anyone can appreciate.

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!
