Planning Your Kitchen Remodeling Budget

WHAT'S YOUR HOME'S VALUE?
Do you plan to live in your home for another five years or more? If so, it may make sense to spend more to renovate the space to meet your long term needs. Example, it's always a good idea to incorporate universal design features wherever possible in a remodel to help deal with any mobility issues that may arise with diminished health or aging. On the other hand, if you plan to sell your home in the next few years, you'd be wise to consider the potential resale value of your home before deciding how much to spend on a kitchen remodel.

WHAT ARE THE “BIG TICKET” ITEMS?

Cabinets, appliances, countertops, structural modifications, and plumbing/electrical/ductwork are generally the hardest hitters in terms of budget planning. Which are on your horizon? Putting first things first simplifies budget planning tremendously.

WORK WITH A PRO

Ark Construction will help you work through this planning to suggest the best materials and products for your space, and create a great functional design that marries your unique style with your budget, beautifully.

WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF YOUR PROJECT?

Are you looking to do superficial refreshing, a major kitchen remodel including gutting and room extension, or something in between? A major remodel with new, upgraded appliances, cabinets, countertops, flooring and structural changes can cost anywhere from $50,000 to well over $100,000.

PLAN TO “EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED”

Some call it Murphy's Law. We'd prefer to bypass Murphy altogether, employ a little wisdom and experience and plan for the unforeseen. Sometimes we get lucky, and the writing's on the wall. More often, that's not the case. Plumbing or electrical circuiting, re-framing wall supports, adding ductwork, or other problems all take big bites out of your budget. At Ark Construction, we'll examine the space, and help you determine what kind of pad you will want to factor into your budget to accommodate any of these needs.
