First, get an idea of how you would like your kitchen to look. Search for kitchen renovation ideas on the internet and make note of which designs you like. You may decide you like the countertop design of one kitchen and the cabinet design of another, but that’s totally fine. Your custom-designed kitchen can have anything you like. Once you are ready, invite a kitchen renovation company to visit your home and share your requirements with them. They will be able to provide ideas and recommendations, and see the kitchen’s current plumbing and electrical setup. Once you feel comfortable, it is now time to get started on your kitchen renovation.

A good kitchen renovation can increase the value of the house quite a bit. Most people use their home kitchen on a daily basis, and a tastefully renovated kitchen can attract a lot of buyers when it’s time to sell. Modern contemporary cabinets, fashionable countertops, and smooth flooring are elements that can increase the value of your home. Lighter colours are appealing because they help brighten up the space. In many cases, homeowners can expect at least a 3x return on their investment if they renovate their kitchen. For instance, spending $10,000 on a kitchen renovation could increase the value of the home by $30,000.

Adding a new kitchen in a self-sufficient basement apartment increases the value even more as the home now becomes a revenue-generating property.

In many cases, you can continue living in the home during the kitchen renovation. Since you may not be able to use the kitchen during the renovation, we would recommend having a contingency plan for managing your meals during the renovation.

Also keep in mind that we may temporarily turn off the water supply when we install the plumbing fixtures, but this will only be for a very short period of time.

During a renovation project, it is important to ensure your greatest asset is protected from accidental damage. Whether it is your walls, floors, or electrical, hiring a licensed and insured renovation company will protect you and your home throughout the renovation project.
