If you’re planning on remodeling your kitchen, no doubt you’re being presented with several estimates from contractors. There are some proactive choices you can make to insure your costs won’t go through the roof. First of all, you need to come up with a plan and stick to it. That includes all your tile, flooring, fixtures, appliances and countertop choices. The moment a project starts you can’t start changing your mind about things. Everything will be ordered and at a price. Your second-guessing could come back to haunt you in the form of delays and higher costs.
You should also work with a contractor for a fixed price agreement. This is different than a “time and material” contract which can quickly spiral out of control. Having a fixed priced means you know exactly what you’re paying for and how long it will take. Your contractor should be on a schedule with specific goals. There is nothing wrong with you staying on top of them.
Another way to cut costs is to do the demolition work yourself. You’ve probably seen plenty of home improvement shows where homeowners happily take a sledgehammer to their old kitchen.
