3 Small Ways to Upgrade Your Kitchen Without Breaking the Bank

Upgrading your kitchen should be an enjoyable experience, but it can easily be a frustrating and costly experience.  With a little bit of research and these tips, you can find ways to avoid costly upgrades while adding functionality and flow to your everyday life.

Stock Cabinets:  When it comes to kitchen cabinets, stock does not mean available in the back warehouse.  Stock cabinets mean that the size of the box will not be altered by the manufacturer.  This is one way the manufacturer keeps their cost down, which in turn keeps your cost down.  This type of cabinet is easy for the manufacturer to create and is shipped faster than custom cabinets.

Mechanicals:  One way to add cost to a kitchen remodel or upgrade is by moving plumbing and or electrical.   If you like your current layout with regard to your sink, cook top/stove and possibly your fridge, keeping them in place will save a lot of money.

Re-locating any appliance means additional work is needed to run lines and may require adding more work to your project than expected.  Speak to your kitchen designer about your layout.  Getting cabinets with more drawers or in a different size can be fixed with little to no extra cost in comparison to re-locating appliances.

Promos:  Kitchen designers and remodelers may offer promos year round, but mostly in the winter months.  The winter promos are designed to save clients a significant amount of money to ensure their productivity throughout the year.

Home shows are a good way to learn about different promos being offered in your area. For example, visit us this weekend at the Columbus Build, Remodel, and Landscape Expo!
