  3. Introduction • Homeowners spend more money on kitchen remodeling than on any other home improvement project. • And with good reason: Kitchens are the hub of home life and a source of pride. • A significant portion of kitchen remodeling costs may be recovered by the value the project brings to your home. • A complete kitchen renovation with a national median cost of $65,000 recovers about 62% of the initial project cost at the home’s resale, according to the “Remodeling Impact Report” from the National Association of REALTORS®.

  5. Plan, Plan, Plan • Planning your kitchen remodel should take more time than the actual construction. • If you plan well, the amount of time you’re inconvenienced by construction mayhem will be minimized. Plus, you’re more likely to stay on budget.

  6. Plan, Plan, Plan • Some tips on planning: • Study your existing kitchen • Think about traffic patterns • Design with ergonomics in mind • Plan for the unforeseeable • Choose all your fixtures and materials before starting • Don’t be afraid to seek help

  7. Keep the Same Footprint • Nothing will drive up the cost of a remodel faster than changing the location of plumbing pipes and electrical outlets, and knocking down walls. This is usually where unforeseen problems occur. • So if possible, keep appliances, water fixtures, and walls in the same location. Not only will you save on demolition and reconstruction costs, you’ll cut the amount of dust and debris your project generates.

  8. Get Real About Appliances • It’s easy to get carried away when planning your new kitchen. • A six-burner commercial-grade range and luxury-brand refrigerator may make eye-catching centerpieces, but they may not fit your cooking needs or lifestyle. • Appliances are essentially tools used to cook and store food. Your kitchen remodel shouldn’t be about the tools, but the design and functionality of the entire kitchen. • Then choose appliances made by trusted brands that have high marks in online reviews and Consumer Reports.

  9. Don’t Underestimate the Power of Lighting • Lighting can make a world of difference in a kitchen. It can make it look larger and brighter. And it will help you work safely and efficiently. • Two different types of lighting in your kitchen: • Task Lighting • Ambient lighting

  10. Be Quality-Conscious • Functionality and durability should be top priorities during kitchen remodeling. • Resist low-quality bargains, and choose products that combine low maintenance with long warranty periods. • Solid-surface countertops, for instance, may cost a little more, but with the proper care, they’ll look great for a long time. • And if you’re planning on moving soon, products with substantial warranties are a selling advantage.

  11. Add Storage, Not Space • Storage will never go out of style, but if you’re sticking with the same footprint, here are a couple of ideas to add more:  • Install cabinets that reach the ceiling • Hang it up

  12. Communicate Clearly With Your Remodelers • Establishing a good rapport with your project manager or construction team is essential for staying on budget. To keep the sweetness in your project: • Drop by the project during work hours • Establish a communication routine • Set house rules • Be kind
