Kitchen Remodel Ideas:

If you're considering a kitchen remodel, you may be wondering where to start. There are many areas to consider, it can be overwhelming to decide on the best course of action. That's why we've compiled a list of the top remodeling ideas for a kitchen to help you get started. 

1. Update the countertops: Countertops are a major focal point in any kitchen and updating them can have a big impact on the overall look and feel of the space. Consider installing new countertops made of materials such as granite, quartz, or marble for a fresh, modern look. These materials are also durable and easy to maintain, making them a great choice for busy kitchens.
2. Add an island: An island is a versatile addition to any kitchen. It provides extra storage and counter space, as well as a place to eat and socialize. If you have a room, this is one of our top recommendations.
3. Replace old appliances: Upgrading to newer, more energy-efficient appliances can not only improve the appearance of your kitchen but also save you money on energy bills. Consider replacing your old refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher with newer, more efficient models.
4. Repaint or reface the cabinets: If your kitchen cabinets are in good shape but just need a refresh, consider repainting or refacing them. A new coat of painting or refacing the cabinets can give your kitchen a fresh, updated look without the cost of completely replacing them.
5. Repainting the doors and floorboards is a quick improvement any homeowner can do. 
6. Install a backsplash: A backsplash can add character and interest to your kitchen, and there are many styles to choose from to suit your personal taste. From subway tiles to mosaic patterns, a backsplash can have a big impact on the overall appearance of your kitchen. We offer numerous custom tile options, so you can express your style.
7. Change the lighting: Updating the lighting in your kitchen can make a big difference to the overall look and feel of the space. Consider adding pendant lights or under-cabinet lighting for a modern touch. Natural light can also make a big difference. If the budget allows, consider adding windows or skylights to your renovation.
8. Upgrade the floors: new flooring can completely transform the look of your kitchen. Options such as tile, hardwood, or luxury vinyl are durable and can add value to your home. Consider the overall style and theme of your kitchen when choosing flooring, as well as the amount of traffic and wear and tear it will endure.
9. Add open shelving: Open shelving can give your kitchen a modern, minimalist look and provide additional storage space. It's a great way to display your favorite dishes and cooking tools, and it can also make your kitchen feel more open and spacious.
10. Incorporate natural materials: Using natural materials such as wood, stone, or marble can add warmth and texture to your kitchen. Consider adding a wood countertop, a stone backsplash, or marble accents to bring a natural element to your kitchen.
11. Update the hardware: Changing out old, dated hardware for new, modern pieces can give your kitchen a quick and easy refresh. From cabinet handles and knobs to faucets and drawer pulls, updating the hardware can make a big difference in the overall look of your kitchen.
12. Painting the ceiling and walls and staining any of the surrounding woodwork in the house will also bring new life to your space. Even if you don't do all the cabinetry, the fresh coat of paint on the surrounding areas will take the attention away from those cabinets until you can tackle that project. Remodels often happen in stages for homeowners, especially if they plan to DIY a project.

The above ideas are great for most customers, but some kitchen remodels can become more involved, with changes to the layout and kitchen design. Hiring the right remodeling contractors is an important step in your satisfaction at the end of the day.

If you're considering a kitchen remodel, it's important to understand the value of using a professional contractor. While it may be tempting to try and tackle the project on your own or hire a cheaper, unlicensed contractor, the risks and potential consequences far outweigh any potential savings from using the professionals.
