Remodeling different parts of your home is always exciting but can also be stressful. Many questions come to mind, like where and how to start. Well, Top to Bottom Handyman and Cleaning Services has some thoughtful tips to share about remodeling the heart of any home, your kitchen!
When remodeling your kitchen there are a few things you need to think about before deciding on a final plan.
1. Space: You’ll want to get the measurements of your kitchen, so you know exactly how much room you have for the remodel. If you’re taking out a wall to add more space, get the
measurements for that added into the final layout as well. You don’t want to plan for too much or too little space.
2. Money: With any remodel you will want to figure out how much money you can spend on it versus how much money it will cost you by the time it’s finished. Along with how much money you’ll need, a good thing to consider is how you will attain the amount you’ll need. Will you be doing a payment plan or do you already have the money needed saved up? Either way, it’s a good thing to think about before getting started. If you’re unsure about the cost, you can always call Top to Bottom for a consultation (803) 669-6340.

3. Needs and Wants: Sometimes with a remodel there are things we absolutely need and there are things we want. Do you need more counter space for cooking and more storage room, do you need a larger sink and dish area, do you need an island for the middle of your kitchen? These are all great questions to ask yourself before getting started so that you know what needs to be done. With any leftover money, you can add some of the fun things you want for your kitchen.
4. Time: How long do you have for the remodel versus how long the remodel will take. There can be uncertainties when it comes to getting any remodel done in your home. Sometimes new tiles don’t come in when they are supposed to or the crew working on your home comes across an obstacle they weren’t expecting, and it takes an extra day to take care of. This isn’t always the case, sometimes a remodel goes as smoothly as you’re expecting, but you should take into consideration that there can be setbacks in the time frame for getting the job done. When giving yourself a time frame for when you’d like it to be done, make sure you give yourself and your crew some wiggle room.
5. Update or Renovate: Are there things you’d like done in the kitchen that don’t need a complete renovation? Sometimes moving things around and changing the layout of your kitchen, or giving the walls a fresh coat of paint can give it the fresh look that you’re wanting. Are these things you’d like to tackle on your own or would you like to have a handyman service come in to give you that peace of mind in getting the job done well? Either way, it’s another thing to take into consideration!
Using these tips before getting started on your kitchen remodel can help lessen the stress when the remodel starts. Having a game plan, a budget, a time frame, and knowing what you need versus what you want will help you and the handyman crew make your new kitchen dream into a reality.
