<strong>Best</strong> <strong>Time</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Redesign</strong> Your<br />

<strong>Kitchen</strong><br />

I have found out that the best time <strong>to</strong> decide on redesigning your kitchen<br />

would be before fall. <strong>Kitchen</strong> contrac<strong>to</strong>rs and retailers are typically really busy<br />

during this time period. I would suggest buying the materials that you need <strong>to</strong><br />

rebuild your kitchen at the beginning of the year, say January because the<br />

materials will cost less. Also, kitchen remodels give the homeowners the most<br />

money when they decide <strong>to</strong> resale the home <strong>to</strong> new occupants in the future. A<br />

lot of homeowners typically spend between $12,000 <strong>to</strong> $30,000 dollars in costs<br />

for redesigning their kitchen. When a homeowner makes a decision <strong>to</strong> upgrade<br />

the sinks or repaint the walls, costs tend <strong>to</strong> be around $10,000 <strong>to</strong> $15,000. If it is<br />

a major kitchen project, that is not only high end, but includes brand new granite<br />

counters or hardwood floors, costs tend <strong>to</strong> be around $30,000 and up.<br />

You must also consider the best time <strong>to</strong> compose an agreement with your<br />

kitchen contrac<strong>to</strong>r based solely on his or her availability. He or she may have<br />

many other projects that they are working on. Try <strong>to</strong> work with a kitchen<br />

contrac<strong>to</strong>r at the beginning of the year before the fall. It will make your life and<br />

the contrac<strong>to</strong>r's life a lot easier.<br />

Many homeowners make the decision <strong>to</strong> redesign their kitchen in the summer<br />

months. Warmer weather will be beneficial because the grout that is used for<br />

the new kitchen backsplash will be able <strong>to</strong> dry quickly and allow the tiles <strong>to</strong> stick


properly on the kitchen wall during the remodeling process. A good rule of<br />

thumb is <strong>to</strong> have your kitchen remodeling project done 1-2 months earlier before<br />

the fall season when demand is high and contrac<strong>to</strong>r's work schedules are busy.<br />

Homeowners must also take in<strong>to</strong> account special fall birthday parties or<br />

anniversary parties that are considered <strong>to</strong> be special family events. It is a huge<br />

headache and inconvenience for family members <strong>to</strong> have a non-functioning<br />

unfinished kitchen during this time of celebration and fun. Try <strong>to</strong> schedule your<br />

kitchen remodel when your schedule is free of birthday parties or special events.<br />

Homeowners should be self-assured that the workers will not track mud, dirt or<br />

water through the newly designed kitchen. Also, there should be great<br />

communication dialogue through the entire job between the kitchen contrac<strong>to</strong>r<br />

and the homeowner in order for the remodeled kitchen <strong>to</strong> be done correctly and<br />

efficiently due <strong>to</strong> the needs of the homeowner. Choosing a contrac<strong>to</strong>r is a<br />

difficult task. You should visit a work in progress for a contrac<strong>to</strong>r, and pick the<br />

<strong>to</strong>p three candidates for the kitchen contracting job. Also, you should ask for<br />

references from all three <strong>to</strong>p contrac<strong>to</strong>rs and make sure <strong>to</strong> follow up with the<br />

best ones.<br />

It’s always good <strong>to</strong> get along with the workers and kitchen designers. Although<br />

common practice, this is worth mentioning…the best way <strong>to</strong> keep the<br />

contrac<strong>to</strong>r's working crew in a great mood when they start the job is <strong>to</strong><br />

acknowledge them by saying good morning, and good night along with telling<br />

them that they did a great job. Also, you can offer them soft drinks or coffee in<br />

the morning. The goal here is <strong>to</strong> be nice, but also ensure that you have workers<br />

that will work hard on your project and not do a mediocre job.
