When it comes to renovating your kitchen, the cost is always a factor. It’s critical to consider the value of something when making a decision about price. It’s useful to consider both the advantages you’ll get from the remodel as well as looking at the process itself when weighing costs.

Decreasing Costs For Your Remodel
- Go with stock options and do a lot of DIY work yourself
- Hire out a cheap contractor
From my experience, I highly recommend against the second option. This is one of those things that breaks my heart. We occasionally get clients that had their project underbid and they were happy with the choice but had the contractor bail on them or even worse, do a bad job.
You end up paying twice for something that appeared as a saved cost at first. There’s a reason why serious contractors will charge you accordingly. Licenses, insurance, paying employees and subs a fair wage, paying for marketing, and many other things go into it. So whenever we talk about price, rest assured I take full responsibility for the job.
When it comes to DIY I think it’s a great option if you like to tinker with things and are generally handy. The only caveat I see here is experience. In a remodeling job, quality installation and attention to the finer details are key.
A seemingly innocent side project might become a drawn-out and vexing experience. We all have our own areas of expertise and specialty.
- Are you handy enough to complete the work at a satisfactory level?
- Do you have the time required to finish the project?
- Do you have the tools or could you buy/borrow them?
- Do you have someone on hand to assist with the job?
- Would you enjoy doing all the necesary tasks?
- Mistakes happen. Are you prepared to see them every day?
