Home Improvement Ideas: Planning and Surviving The Big Kitchen Makeover | Stratton Exteriors

For many people – individuals and families alike – the kitchen is one of the most beloved and utilized rooms in the house. It’s where meals are prepared and where memories are made. For these reasons, it’s not surprising that kitchen renovations are among the most popular types of home improvement projects. If you’re considering a kitchen remodel, here are a few things to keep in mind to help ensure that the process goes as smoothly as possible from start to finish.

Planning

Before embarking on a major kitchen renovation, it’s wise to have a well-thought out and documented plan in place in advance. If you’re tackling this project on your own, take some time to review various kitchen remodeling ideas online and speak to a representative at your local hardware store. He or she can provide some pointers and best practices. If you plan on hiring a professional to handle your kitchen remodel (which is highly recommended), sit down, discuss and document the details ahead of time.

Choosing the Right Partner

Because kitchen renovations are huge undertakings, most people choose to work with a professional remodeling company. Not only does ensure that the work is done right but it can also significantly cut down on the amount of time your kitchen will be under construction and therefore out of commission. If you plan on working with a pro, make sure you do your homework and choose a company that has demonstrable design expertise and exceptional customer service. Don’t be afraid to ask for (and verify) referrals.  

With the right plan and preparation in place, the next step is coming up with the design that best suits your needs, budget and preferences. Making just a few changes, such as installing granite counter tops and changing out the color and material of cabinets and flooring can make a significant difference in the look and feel of the room.

Surviving the Process

Many people fail to consider the amount of time a significant kitchen remodeling can take, as well as the subsequent disruption to daily routines it can cause. For example, you may not be able to cook, use the sink or even store food in your kitchen while renovations are in progress. That’s why it’s important to have a clear understanding of the expected completion time well in advance and to take the appropriate measures to accommodate the disruption in the interim. For best results, setting up a temporary kitchen in another area of the house can help make the process easier to bear.
