Remodeling Your Kitchen Doesn’t Have To Be Expensive
Here are essential things to consider if you want to make substantial savings on your kitchen remodelling project:
First. Hire a reliable contractor.
After going over several names and descriptions from your relatives, friends, and associates, get the kitchen remodeller who has proven abilities, the necessary certifications, and a customer satisfaction guarantee. Don’t go for cheap because skimping will only give you trouble in the long run. Take the one with a reasonable estimate in terms of costing and delivery schedule.
A reliable contractor is one who can explain all the details to you, including which ideas of yours will – or will not – work: plumbing system, electrical configurations, space-efficient installations, and other necessary elements of your kitchen.
If he or she owns a company that is licensed, bonded, and insured, you know that your kitchen will be in good hands.
Licensed companies mean that these have satisfied all the requirements to operate in the area or state, and that the project managers and technicians have been tested for knowledge of the building code, safety standards, and the industry’s best practices. Bonded companies mean that these have government-secured funds drawn for emergency purposes, particularly if a dissatisfied or offended customer has won a claim against contractor services. Insured companies mean that these diligently pay premiums to cover any injuries or damages arising from the contractor’s services.
Not all contractors take such measures to ensure the safety and protection of their teams, as well as of their customers and innocent persons within the project area. Those who do may charge higher for the services, but you can rest assured that you are getting better value for your money.
Meanwhile, if a contractor has a customer satisfaction guarantee on your kitchen remodelling project, then he or she must really be serious in delivering superior-quality work.
Second. Be proactive in planning.
Tell your contractor what your design idea is, and how you want the space maximized. Ask him or her what appliances and fixtures can be reused, or which materials can be re-purposed, especially that you are on a tight budget.
Be sure to mention the priority changes you want to see, and the design elements that you want retained.
Is it just repainting that you need for the cabinetry, bar stools, and breakfast nook? If so, inform your contractor so he or she can cross out the expense item for the new shelves and storage systems, and shift the budget to the picture window that you want built, or the counter tops that you want replaced.
Third. Shop for bargain materials.
Since you don’t want to skimp on contractor services, save money on building and refurbishing materials. Seek your kitchen remodeler’s help by having him or her list down the items that would be needed, and ask for recommended brands and stores.
Buy the materials by bulk, according to your contractor’s estimate, to avail of discounts. Be diligent in scouting for home depots, factory outlet stores, or even building-supply auctions in your area. Save more by striking with free or low-cost delivery services by suppliers.
