Thinking about remodeling your kitchen? Wilco Cabinet Makers has made a list of questions for you to ask yourself, before you get started…
- What DON’T you like about your current kitchen
- Create a “wish list” for your new kitchen, and then number the items in order of importance
- What items (ie: cabinetry, flooring) do you want to put the most money into?
- If necessary, what items are you willing to save $ on?
- How much can you realistically afford to spend? Setting a budget before hand will make the process easier for you and could save you money.
- What style do you want? Start saving pictures from magazines if you aren’t sure.
- Is the kitchen the beginning point for remodeling other rooms in your home?
- Are there time constraints for the work? If the project absolutely has to be finished by a certain date, please let us know first thing, so that we may help you in meeting the deadline!
- What qualities are you looking for in your kitchen designer?
- Are you working with an interior designer as well?
- If you plan on making big changes to your kitchen, what functions or activities do you want to plan for in this space? (ie: adding a fireplace, desk area or adding a table instead of the current breakfast bar)
- How will your family change over the next few years? Will you become “empty nesters,” or new parents?
- Do you plan on selling your home in the next couple of years of do you plan on retiring in it?
- Do you plan on doing any of the work yourself?
- Do you do a lot of entertaining? If you do, it’s true…everyone does always flock to the kitchen!
- Are there major structural changes to consider, such a moving a wall of window?
