Design

The design of your kitchen remodel is where your project begins. Choosing a good designer makes sense, but it’s also essential you invest adequate time and energy in your kitchen design. Your design sets the stage for the whole project and dictates the outcome of your remodel. An experienced design build contractor will be able to integrate your needs and your dreams, making them a perfect choice for kitchen remodel design, as they integrate both the design and construction aspects of the remodel. Hiring a designer or contractor who uses 3D design for remodels is even more beneficial as you can get a clear idea in 3D of what your remodel will look like before construction even begins.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”2709″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]

Countertops

When it comes to kitchen countertops, it’s really worth investing in a quality material that will look appealing, perform well, and stand the test of time. Granite, quartz, stone, or composite stone are amongst the most popular countertop material choices, and each of these creates a stunning look. When choosing the ideal kitchen countertop, look for appearance, durability, scratch resistance, water resistance, each of maintenance, and whether the material needs to be occasionally resealed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Hardware

The way your kitchen cabinets and drawers open and close might seem like a small detail, but it can really change the feel of your kitchen. Nothing ruins the effect of a new kitchen like banging cupboards and drawers, hinges that snap or get stuck, or a drawer that runs off its tracks. Investing in your drawer and hinge hardware, including soft close hinges and drawers, is an investment worth making for a more comfortable kitchen.

Workmanship and Construction

When it comes to how your kitchen is constructed, the quality of the workmanship and construction makes a vast difference. Poor quality work that doesn’t reflect your original design will be a great disappointment, and may require additional work to correct. Choosing a home remodeling contractor who you can trust as you work through the construction process is essential to achieving the result you want.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1587492295335{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

Appliances

While fancy gadgets and additions don’t necessarily make an outstanding kitchen, choosing high quality appliances, including the refrigerator, microwave, oven, and range, really add value to your home. It’s worthwhile investing in trusted brands and models that will both match your kitchen design and suit the needs of your household. Appliances that are too small or low performance can really detract from your kitchen while professional, commercial appliances may also be over the top. Talking with your design build contractor can help you to find the most reliable and suitable appliances for your needs and lifestyle.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”2710″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The outstanding effect of a kitchen remodel on your home value and quality of life is evidence of how worthwhile it is to invest in your remodel.
