The Facts
...it can get messy, really quick.
|
It's no secret that remodeling a kitchen can bring a lot, and we mean...a lot of stress. The first step to avoiding a remodel disaster is developing a realistic timeline of events and sticking to it. The designing, ordering, and install process times can all vary, but being in constant contact with all the hands that touch your remodel (designers, installers, etc.) can help avoid some of the disasters of getting behind schedule. In the blog this month we talk more about timelines and how long you should usually plan for. Check it out.

When you are doing a kitchen remodel you are probably taking on this feat for a good reason. Chances are you aren't happy with what your current kitchen looks like. Maybe the layout isn't working, or the cabinets are outdated, perhaps it's all just stuck in the '60s. Depending on what you are looking to replace it may be the best idea to invest in the things that matter. Spending more on quality materials will go a long way. Things like cabinets, appliances, and lighting are on the top of that list. Head over to the blog to read more about investing in the things that matter when you are doing a remodel.
