Tips for Remodeling A Kitchen

Remodeling a kitchen can be a stressful ordeal for homeowners given the number of styles, designs and features they will need to pick from. To prevent this process from becoming a time-consuming ordeal, it is critical for owners to consider some of the most essential kitchen remodeling ideas to enhance their space. The most common elements that owners choose to upgrade include cabinets, countertop, layout, appliances adding an island and paint throughout the space. If you’re a homeowner thinking of remodeling the rooms in your home, continue on to the article below for a helpful outline on what to consider.

Add an Island

A feature that owners should consider when upgrading their space is an island. An island is a great addition to the kitchen given its ability to enhance the functionality of it. Further, the size, color, features and design of the island can be personalized to suit the needs of the homeowner and the space. Owners will be able to enhance their room with additional seating, storage, countertops and more by simply choosing to add an island.

Open Up the Layout

People struggling to use the space that they currently have, should consider opening up the layout of the room. Although this process can be invasive, it offers the potential to upgrade the functionality of the room and ease of use while in the space. To open up the layout, owners should consider removing bulky cabinets, walls or features that they do not use. This will allow them to have a fully functional room without the need to upgrade it again in the near future.

Update or Move Appliances

When people decide to undertake the project, it is also recommended that they consider their appliances in the space by updating them or moving them to a new area. Not only can upgrading the appliances enhance the appeal of the space, but sleeker, modern designs can create a more functional room and better layout.

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!
