After years of procrastination, you’ve finally decided to go for it. You’re about to embark on one of the most exciting home renovation projects there is — remodeling your kitchen!
But before you begin, Kitchen Saver CEO Brett Cohen shares this advice.
“The secret to a successful home remodeling project is careful planning,” says Cohen. “First up are considerations of plumbing, electricity, painting and flooring. Those elements are much more difficult to deal with after the cabinets are updated, so don’t wait.
Once those aspects of your kitchen are addressed, the next stage should involve your cabinetry, he says. It’s important to address your cabinetry early in the kitchen remodeling process because of how much wall space your cabinets occupy.
For that reason alone, you should establish the cabinet door style, material, color and finish before you do anything else. Popular materials for cabinet doors are furniture-grade wood like maple, cherry or oak, premium laminate or medium-density fiberboard.
Once you’ve made your selections, Kitchen Saver begins the process of cabinet refacing by installing updated doors and drawers in your choice of material and preferred style, color and finish.
“Cabinets determine the aesthetic of your kitchen and set the tone for the rest of the room’s design. Decisions about other design elements such as countertops lighting, sinks, fixtures and appliances flow from there,” says Cohen.
Since 1979, Kitchen Saver has been providing top-tier cabinetry upgrades for homeowners throughout the mid-Atlantic region, and at a fraction of the cost of a typical kitchen renovation.
“You’ll be amazed how affordable your remodeling can be and how quickly you’ll be looking at your brand-new high-quality kitchen!” says Cohen.
