Kitchen Remodel 101: What are the Benefits?

Sleek stainless steel appliances, bright white cabinets, subway tile backsplash, butler’s sink, and quartz or granite counter tops. These are the materials of which dream kitchens are made (and understandably so! They offer a beautiful combination of light and textures). Most homeowners—even those who have their “dream” kitchen—admit that there are ways they would improve their kitchens if possible.

Obtaining a dream kitchen is within the average homeowner’s reach. With the help of a kitchen remodeling company such as Progressive Builders, homeowners can expand or reconfigure their cooking and eating areas, bring their outdated cabinets and countertops into the 21^st century, and install appliances that are sleek and energy savvy. There are several other potential benefits to a kitchen remodel.

• Save space. Many old and outdated kitchens lack the cupboard and drawer space that modern families crave. By reconfiguring the kitchen, more cabinet and countertop space can be attained for all of your kitchenware.
• Tame traffic. To put it plainly, small kitchens are cramped. Because many families spend a great deal of time in the kitchen, the flow of traffic is important. Sometimes the solution to this problem is knocking out a wall and sometimes it’s rearranging the appliances. Whatever causes the traffic jams in your kitchen Progressive Builders can fix it.
• Ease energy. Older, outdated appliances are not only an eyesore, but they suck energy as well. Updating the kitchen with newer, energy-efficient appliances can save money on the old electric bill. Plus, many local utility companies offer rebates for the purchase of appliances with the “energy star” label.
• Remodel and redesign. During the kitchen remodel process, homeowners are often able to remove unwanted wallpaper, repaint and retexture walls, and upgrade light fixtures both in the kitchen and in adjoining rooms. A newly updated kitchen sets the bar high for the rest of the house and might just offer the nudge needed to finish the bathroom…and the guest room…and the master bedroom…and maybe the office, too.
• Boost bucks. Perhaps the most important part of the kitchen remodel is the value boost that it gives to homes. Making upgrades throughout the home undoubtedly makes it aesthetically pleasing, but nothing adds value to a home like a kitchen remodel. Potential buyers flock to homes that have updated kitchens.
