One of the most fun and rewarding home renovation projects you can do is to redesign your kitchen. It turns the center of your home into a location that is not only attractive but also more useful and efficient. Before the demolition starts, though, there is some critical planning that needs to be done to make sure everything goes well. We at Allure Baths and Kitchens in Phoenix, AZ have helped many clients plan and carry out kitchen remodels that go off without a hitch. This is how to get your home, family, and mind ready for a successful remodeling.
1. Define What You Want
First, think about what you really want from your new kitchen. Do you need more space to store things? Better light? A modern, open-concept design? Make a list of things you need and things you want. Get ideas from design periodicals, online, or showrooms. Your vision will help you choose everything, from the colors and styles of your cabinets and countertops to the appliances you buy. Give these suggestions to your designer so they can help you make your ideal kitchen a reality.
2. Make A Budget
To stay on track with your project, you need a clear budget. Think about everything that will go into the remodel, such as the materials, the labor, the appliances, and any extra charges that may come up (typically 10–15% of the total cost). Allure Baths and Kitchens gives you precise estimates so you know what’s included and where you may make changes based on your needs. Keep in mind that spending money on good materials and competent installation is worth it because they will last longer and be worth more.
3. Make Contingency Plans
- If you rebuild your kitchen, you won’t be able to cook or eat there for a few weeks or longer. To make things easier:
- Set up a temporary kitchen by moving your coffee machine, microwave, and toaster to a different room.
- Buy a lot of disposable plates and utensils so you don’t have to wash dishes as often.
- For easy meals, use a grill or a slow cooker.
- Plan your meals ahead of time and think about getting takeaway from your favorite Phoenix restaurants.
- A temporary kitchen will help your household run smoothly while the work is being done.
4. Clean Up and Protection
Take all the dishes, pots and pans, and food out of the kitchen before building starts. Put everything in boxes and name them so that they are easy to unpack later. To keep dust from building up, cover neighboring furniture, floors, and other areas with protective sheets. When you remodel, you make noise and mess, so it’s important to define clear boundaries for work zones to keep things clean and organized.
5. Work With Your Contractor
During any remodel, it’s important to talk to one other. Keep in touch with your contractor and ask them about the schedule, daily tasks, and progress reports. We at Allure Baths and Kitchens are proud of how open we are and how well we treat our customers. We’ll show you each step, from tearing down the old building to the final inspection, so you’ll always know what’s going on and when.
6. A Little Patience May Be Needed
Even with the finest planning, remodeling might still have problems, such materials being late, plumbing problems that aren’t obvious, or bad weather. Being open-minded and trusting your remodeling crew will help keep the process as stress-free as possible. The results will be worth it: a beautiful, functional kitchen that makes your life better and increases the value of your property.
Final Takeaway
It’s not just about picking finishes when you’re getting ready to renovate your kitchen. It’s also about getting everything ready for success. You’ll have a better time and get a better result if you plan ahead, talk to your contractor, and get ready for temporary modifications.
