There are a number of signs that indicate your kitchen is in need of an upgrade. Owners should consider kitchen remodeling for their Clarkston home if they are currently struggling with: A cramped layout, broken appliances, dated décor, limited storage space and unused areas of the room that prevent it from being fully functional. If you are wondering if it’s time to upgrade your home, continue on to the article below where the most common reasons why owners enhance their kitchen are outlined in detail.

Cramped Layout

Owners that are dealing with a cramped layout should consider upgrading the space to enhance its functionality. A cramped layout can significantly impact the owner’s ability to navigate through the space and make use of it. Further, homeowners who struggle to use the rooms in their home may suffer from feelings of frustration and disappointment if they cannot freely maneuver with ease. Rather than continue to deal with this issue, it is recommended that people consider updating the space by opening up the layout. The layout of the room can be enhanced by removing bulky cabinetry, updating the appliances or simply shifting the location of certain features. With layout changes, it is recommended that homeowners seek out professional advice and support for this type of project to ensure the work is completed properly and to code.

Broken Appliances

If you are currently dealing with broken appliances, then it is likely time to consider updating these aspects of the space. Broken appliances are often a sign of significant use, age, or damage that should be corrected before it persists. Further, owners that choose to upgrade the appliances in their home will be able to select from some of the most advanced technology and energy efficient models on the market.

Dated Décor

The décor of a space has an impact on how a person feels while in the room. Not only can the upgrade make the owner feel better while they are inside of the space, but the design can make the room seem more appealing. This increases the likelihood that people will want to spend time in the space and make use of it.

Limited Storage Space

Having limited storage space is another common indication that it is time for owners to upgrade their home. Storage space is important because it can help to keep items organized and clean throughout the home. Otherwise, failing to have an adequate storage system installed in the kitchen can leave it looking unkempt and disorganized.All of the above reasons for upgrading a kitchen can make the effort well worth the investment. It’s important to work with kitchen remodeling professionals in Clarkston who know how to make these upgrades safely, efficiently, and in a cost-effective manner. Soon the new kitchen will deliver years of service to the homeowner who wisely invested in the update.

Reviews

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!
