Successfully Planning Your First Kitchen Remodel

Remodeling your kitchen is an exciting venture that can significantly improve both the beauty and functionality of this heavily used space. To make the most of the project, it’s important to prepare carefully. In today’s post, JLR Home Renovation, the premier siding and remodeling contractor in the region, shares some tips to help you plan for your project:

Determine Your Needs

Before deciding on materials or a contractor, you need to have a clear idea of the changes your kitchen needs. Think about how you use your kitchen and what changes need to be made to make the space more efficient—and also more pleasant. Some questions to consider include: how many people will be using the kitchen and how will they move around in it? Will an addition make the workflow more efficient or is the existing kitchen big enough?

Find Inspiration

If you haven’t already, you should start looking for photos of kitchens with colors and features that fit your style. Focus on key elements like countertops, replacement windows, flooring, and backsplashes. You should also begin choosing your finishes and fixtures, including your cabinetry, appliances, kitchen sink and faucet, and decorative hardware.

Making these decisions early on can help make the work itself more straightforward and smooth. Giving yourself ample time to make these selections also means that you’ll end up with the best materials for your project.

Work With the Right Professionals

While taking the DIY route may seem tempting, unless you can successfully build your own cabinet and finish your own plumbing and electrical, it’s best to leave your project in the hands of professionals. We can help you get the necessary permits and contracts, guide you in budgeting, and offer expert material suggestions to ensure a smooth, delay-free project. We have the proper experience, knowledge, and equipment to ensure a successful remodel.
