At MK Remodeling & Design, we understand that the budget is the main concern for our customers. If you are in the market for a kitchen update but don’t want to break the bank, CBS News offers this article on several options available to you under $25,000.
Refacing your cabinets will cost around $400 per cabinet. Flooring depends on square footage and the type of flooring options, but there are many ways to do a mid-range job under $4,000. Adding a backsplash, can really make things sizzle for around $2,500. Replacing appliances can also bring your kitchen up to date, all for around $1,000 per appliance.
If you are curious about the costs of different jobs, check out homewyse.com. There you can play with the size and scope of remodeling jobs to get the ballpark cost of a renovation according to your zip code. Of course, a contractor will provide specifics, but this is a good starting point. So, mix and match till your heart’s content and figure what works best for your home and your budget.
No matter what size or what part of your house you are remodeling, be sure to use a licensed contractor and thoroughly vet them. Several families in Philadelphia recently got burned by a contractor who failed to pull permits for their work. Now these homeowners have a litany of problems, and are left to pick up the tab.
While social media, Yelp or Angie’s List are a good start when reading up on a remodeler, don’t be afraid to ask around and talk to former clients. Places like the Better Business Bureau will also have useful information for potential customers.
Have a great week!
