Hello World! Welcome Friends! Renovating your kitchen can be expensive but equally gratifying. It’s undoubtedly a big undertaking you need to get right the first time to yield excellent results and save cost. Experts estimate that a new kitchen will improve or increase the value of your property by around 7% or more. There are many reasons people renovate this area of their home. Suppose you’re remodeling your kitchen after a fire. In that is the case, your contractor will conduct fire damage restoration before the real work begins. What are some factors you need to consider before the renovation begins? Here are a few worth considering.
1. The Duration of the Kitchen Renovation
It’s advisable to determine how long your kitchen makeover will take before work begins to help you plan accordingly. The duration usually depends on the size and nature of the kitchen. However, some experts say that a complete kitchen renovation that includes plumbing changes, electrical service locations, installing new appliances and finishes may take anywhere between 3 to 5 months to complete. Various types of kitchen renovations have their required amount of time, so you should also consider the work involved when estimating how long it would take.
2. Whether you Can Still use your Kitchen During Renovation
The kitchen is usually a significant hub of activity in a household, and sometimes you can’t halt these activities for however long the renovation will take. Whether your kitchen remains functional usually depends on your contractor, as some will leave the essential items still intact, allowing you to cook meals in the kitchen anytime. Remember, not all contractors do this, as it’s generally easier to remove everything out of the kitchen on the first day of renovation. It’s essential to know how your contractor will handle this issue so you can prepare accordingly.
3. The Personnel Involved in your Kitchen Makeover
It’s best to ask your chosen contractor for an idea of the employees or subcontractors who will partake in your kitchen renovation. Such personnel include cabinet makers, electricians, carpenters, cabinet installers, etc. They could either be direct employees of the renovation company or subcontracted. It’s essential to know who will be in your home working on your kitchen, so you can easily connect with them and not worry about security or how professionally they’ll do the job.
4. Your Kitchen Warranty
Kitchen renovation warranties will protect you from any problems caused by defects in the materials used by the contractors and issues that may arise during the remodeling process. Therefore, it’s vital to ensure that you’re covered. Choose contractors that offer a minimum one-year warranty on their work. Also, inquire if there are warranties on the kitchen cabinets or countertops. It would also help if you asked for tips on how to preserve these materials best.
You need to inquire and ask all the necessary questions concerning your kitchen renovation to make the process as smooth and rewarding as possible. Including your family’s habits and preferences in the remodel plans can help create your dream kitchen.
