It’s well-known that kitchens and bathrooms are the most expensive parts of a home to renovate, with kitchens sitting at the top of the list.
If you’re thinking about taking on kitchen renovations in Edmonton, you shouldn’t be discouraged, though. There are many ways to reduce these costs without compromising on quality or your unique preferences. It’s all about prioritizing what matters most to you and being strategic in how you execute your renovation.
Plus, you’ll likely recoup your kitchen renovation costs down the line, as most kitchen remodels yield a 75-100% return on investment.
Today, we’ll be sharing some helpful tips for reducing the costs of your upgrades. We definitely encourage homeowners to read this list before getting started!
Homeowners should always set a clear budget prior to beginning a kitchen renovation, and this budget should be communicated to contractors as soon as possible. This is the best way to avoid additional unexpected costs throughout your project and it will ensure all parties involved are on the same page.
Remember, your budget should include a dedicated contingency reserve, as minor setbacks and unexpected issues are part and parcel of any home renovation project.
Many homeowners mistakenly believe that by keeping kitchen renovation costs down, they will be compromising on the quality of the final result— which isn’t necessarily the case.
You can offset the cost of more expensive materials, like countertops or high-end appliances, with more budget-friendly options in other areas (lighting fixtures, cabinet hardware, flooring, etc).
It’s all a matter of prioritizing where your pizazz will come from. Trust us, guests will be too distracted by your glistening marble countertops to notice you didn’t splurge on designer lighting.
To further elaborate on the point above, you can dramatically reduce the amount of money spent on kitchen renovations by choosing your materials wisely.
While custom mahogany wood cabinets look magnificent, for instance, they cost far more than other materials like melamine or high pressure laminate.
Be sure to provide pictures of your desired outcome to your contractors. They will be able to tell you if your vision can be achieved with more cost-effective materials, and help you make a final decision that will still produce amazing results. Of course, it is important to be aware, however, that cheaper materials have their limitations, so it will be a matter of how flexible you are in the appearance of your finished product.
If we’ve learned anything from our years of completing kitchen renovations in Edmonton, it’s that sometimes less is more. It isn’t always necessary to knock down walls, rearrange plumbing systems, or completely change the configuration of a kitchen to achieve an extraordinary result.
Furthermore, leaving your plumbing or other major systems as they are is one of the most effective ways to finish your project and come in under budget.
Remember,
it costs $5,500 on average for a full kitchen plumbing installation, with prices varying based on the types of appliances you have, the types of plumbing materials you use, and whether or not there’s mold or water leaks that will require repair.
