For most families, the kitchen is the heart of the home. From Sunday mornings with stacks of pancakes, to busy evenings full of homework at the kitchen table, nearly everybody spends at least a couple of hours per day in their kitchen. For that reason alone, shouldn’t it be a space you enjoy being in? JLR Home Renovation talks about what you do what you can to get the most out of your kitchen remodeling in Hershey PA, and the local areas.
How much do you intend to spend on your renovation? The average homeowner spends a little more than $20,000 to remodel a kitchen and even the smallest projects cost between $10,000 and $15,000. When setting your renovation budget, be sure to include an additional $5,000 or so to cover any unexpected issues your contractor may find during the process.
When planning a kitchen renovation in Mount Joy PA, or the local area, it may be tempting to spend hours scouring the dream homes you saved on Pinterest, but in reality, most of those glorious kitchens aren’t as functional as a busy family would need the space to be. Think about things you will actually need out of your space and put those at the top of your list.
Once you have a list of what you need, you can create a list of things you want and only include them in the renovation if your budget allows.
It may seem tempting to save money by doing your renovation yourself, but there are several problems with this approach. For one thing, if you aren’t a licensed contractor, you could be breaking the law. Even if you aren’t, a skilled professional will have the tools and knowledge to remodel your kitchen the right way. Doing it yourself could result in costly mistakes that you can’t afford.
