A kitchen remodel is going to add value to your home. That doesn’t mean you have to sell your home in order to get the return on that value. It can be very important if you want to refinance your mortgage. It’s also just nice to have a kitchen that has been updated. As you plan out your kitchen remodel, there are many steps you can take that will help you save money. Here’s what you need to think about:

Appliances

If you are replacing appliances, then you want to shop for the best deal around. But sometimes those deals are right in front of you on the showroom floor. You could find a perfectly good floor model that has a couple hundred dollars knocked off the price. All this means is that a lot of people open and close the doors on that appliance. It was never turned on. That makes it a good deal.

Countertops

If you have your heart set on granite countertops, then consider the grade. They are usually a piece of granite that has a grade 5 is going to be more expensive than one that has a grade 2 but you can hardly tell the difference. There could also be pieces of granite that are labeled “imperfect.” That’s because of a tiny chip or scratch. Those could be cut out leaving a perfectly fine piece of granite. Look into remnant cuts. These are left over pieces from a slab but could probably fit a lot of your counter space.

Cabinets

The biggest expense in your kitchen remodel might be the cabinets. Consider all the options before you land on new cabinets. For instance, preassembled cabinets are more expensive than what you have to build yourself. That might seem like an intimidating job but it actually isn’t that much of a challenge. Also, consider the finish.  A veneer cabinet looks a lot like a solid wood cabinet but cost a lot less.

Demolition

Crew costs are going to be another big expense for your kitchen remodel. Anywhere that you can save on that crew will be ahead of the game. That is why you should consider doing your own demolition.
