REDESIGNING YOUR KITCHEN TO BETTER MEET YOUR NEEDS

Far too many homes have kitchens that everyone in the house dreads using. Whether it’s because there’s not enough storage or room to maneuver or because the appliances and fixtures are too old and worn out, for whatever reason the kitchen has surpassed its expiration date. Thankfully, there’s a solution to this problem: a kitchen remodel.

Feel Restricted by Your Outdated Kitchen?

Your kitchen, once the heart of your home, now feels like it's from a bygone era. The dated design and cramped space often leave you avoiding the area rather than enjoying it with family and friends.

It's not just about aesthetics. It's the missed moments of togetherness. Every cramped holiday meal and chaotic family visit spotlights the limitations of your current space. Inefficiency and lack of flow steal away the pleasure of spending time with the people you love most.

Enter Home Repair Service. Our approach begins with listening — truly understanding how you envision your kitchen's role in your daily life. We draft a design that hits every mark, and transition seamlessly into construction, ensuring your ideal space becomes a reality without unnecessary delay.

What We Don’t Do

Shoddy Cabinet Refinishing

I’ve seen poor workmanship in cabinet refinishing too many times. You pay all that money and the paint starts peeling within the year… Then you have to pay someone to fix it!


In my opinion, individuals who don’t know how to properly prep and refinish cabinets should not lead people to believe otherwise.

“Unpermitted” Kitchen Renovations

Permits protect homeowners by ensuring contractors are properly educated and licensed. Avoiding permits suggests a lack of proper education which hints at a lack of proper licensing.

Permitting our projects is how we ensure everything is done correctly and up to code.

“Builder Grade” Kitchens Remodels

I'm all for saving money, but there's about a 20% cost difference between basic builder materials and high-quality ones.

If you're investing your hard-earned cash into a kitchen remodel, wouldn't you prefer a quality finish?

How Much Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost?

Keep in mind that new cabinets are one of the main factors of any kitchen remodel budget. For example, we routinely see mid-range cabinet orders cost between $30,000 - $50,000. Deciding to install new cabinets or not will have a huge impact on your budget.

FREQUENTLY ASKED KITCHEN REMODELING QUESTIONS

Is a kitchen remodel really worth the cost?

Absolutely, but I think a better question is, Am I worth it?

A kitchen remodel is not just a financial investment; it's an investment in your home's heart and soul. The kitchen is more than just a place to cook – it's where memories are made, where families gather, and where much of your daily life unfolds. When you remodel your kitchen by removing a load bearing wall or installing an island you're not only enhancing its aesthetic appeal and functionality but also increasing your home's value.

Think about the joy of cooking in a space tailored to your needs, the ease of entertaining in a beautifully designed area, and the efficiency added by modern appliances and ergonomic design. These are not just comforts; they are significant lifestyle upgrades that can transform your daily experiences.

From a financial perspective, kitchen remodels are known for their high return on investment. Prospective home buyers often prioritize modern, updated kitchens, so if you ever decide to sell, a remodeled kitchen can be a key selling point that sets your home apart and can even accelerate the sale process.

We understand that the cost can be a concern, which is why we work with you to create a plan that fits within your budget without compromising quality. Our goal is to make your dream kitchen a reality in the most cost-effective way, ensuring that every dollar you spend adds tangible value to your home and your quality of life.

SIGNS IT’S TIME FOR A KITCHEN REMODEL

They say, “Home is where the heart is,” and in many cases, the heart of our homes is the kitchen. It’s one of the rooms that everyone in the household uses daily. It’s where we store and make the food that keeps our family fed. In some cases, it’s where we gather to eat as a family. There’s meaning in that beyond just storing, cooking, and eating food.

A room with such a deep connection to our lives, and that’s used as frequently as a kitchen is, should be one of the best designed rooms in our home. It should be the room where comfort meets convenience. Otherwise, you wind up regretting the time you spend there, which is the last thing you want to feel about one of the most frequently used and important rooms in your home. If you get this feeling when you use your kitchen, it may be time for a remodel.

Beyond simply not enjoying using your kitchen, there are other signs that it’s time for a kitchen remodel, including:

  • Location – This could involve adding a deck to your house and installing a doorway between your kitchen and the deck, so it’s easier to entertain during outdoor events. Or maybe you want to add or remove windows from your kitchen to better control natural light as it enters the room. Or you may need to add a window to the kitchen that has a view of your backyard, so that you can keep an eye on your kids while they play. The possibilities are endless.

  • Space – Issues of space in a kitchen are very common. It could be that you need more space to move around in the kitchen when you are cooking, especially if you will be cooking with others. More room would also be helpful if your kitchen sees a lot of foot traffic or you’re often short on storage space.

  • Accessibility – Making sure your kitchen's layout is accessible and efficient can save you a lot of headaches down the road. One of the best ways to do this is by incorporating the kitchen triangle layout. The kitchen triangle involves finding the most efficient and accessible layout for your kitchen's three main work areas, which generally are the stove, sink, and refrigerator. An ideal kitchen triangle keeps those three areas close to each other to create the most accessible and efficient workspace. While the kitchen triangle is a popular layout, it is far from the only tried and true kitchen design. Ultimately, finding a kitchen layout that is right for you is what is most important.

  • Tech Upgrades – Having out of date appliances is a very good reason for a kitchen remodel. Some appliances become faulty and dangerous as they age. Others become less efficient, leading to higher utility bills and longer cook times. Installing the latest appliances can make your life easier. New appliances are more reliable, safer, easier to use, and often energy efficient (which can lead to savings on your utility bills).

  • Dated Design – We’ve all been there. At some point, something we’ve owned has fallen out of style. This is true for clothes, cars, furniture, and kitchen designs. Whether it’s your appliances, cabinets, sink fixtures, lighting design, flooring, or layout, there eventually comes a time when it simply needs to be redone to keep up with the times and your ever-evolving sense of style.

  • Safety – Although safety issues have no age limit, this mostly applies to homes with small children. Making sure your kitchen design is safe for your kids is one of the most important things you can do. It could be as simple as ensuring stove tops and microwaves are out of your children’s reach or replacing your kitchen counters with countertops without sharp edges. There are probably several things in your kitchen that you won’t realize put your child’s safety at risk until you speak with a kitchen remodeling and restoration specialist.
