3 Ways to Stay On Track During a Kitchen Remodel

There are lots of things to keep in mind when you undergo a kitchen remodel. Sometimes, your list can get so long and complex that you start to get off track from your original plan. Progressive Builders knows this and wants to help you stay on the correct path. Here are 3 easy steps to keep your kitchen remodel on track.

1. Make a budget and stick to it. Depending on how extensive the kitchen remodel is, costs can run anywhere from $2,000 to $50,000 or more! That’s why it’s so important to set up and stick to a clear budget. Setting a budget beforehand can help with design decisions down the road as well. For example, maybe you really wanted granite countertops and real hardwood floors, but your budget won’t allow for it, so you have to make a cost-effective choice. Knowing the budget before starting the project will help expedite and clarify such decisions.
2. Pick a contractor with a good track record. If you’re using an architect and a designer as well, make sure that they all have a good working relationship. Interview several contractors and pick the one that you “click” with. You can also ask for references from former clients and, if possible, visit the site to inspect the work.
3. Stick with the style of the home. If you live in a ranch-style home, don’t try to give the kitchen a modern makeover. It’s not going to fit with the style of the home. You also might find that the rest of your house needs a makeover just to match the kitchen. The last thing you want is a kitchen that, although beautiful, doesn’t fit with the rest of your home.
