Kitchen Makeovers

If you want to freshen up the stale look of a guest bedroom, it can be a simple matter of updating the curtains or swapping out a few pieces of accent furniture. Other home makeover projects, however, require careful planning and execution because the value of your home is riding on the quality of the renovations.

Renovating a kitchen is one of the most difficult projects a homeowner can undertake. It's stressful to have limited access to such a vital room. Selecting the right professional will minimize the headaches that come with kitchen renovations and restore your space to a working condition much faster. Then you can enjoy your rejuvenated, on-trend kitchen as a hub for casual gatherings, family meals, and culinary adventures.

Dangerous currents?

A kitchen makeover needs highly skilled work, more so than other rooms in the house. Renovations can involve work on electrical, water, and gas lines. This usually means hiring more than one licensed professional to tackle the job since it's rare to find one licensed to work on all three types of lines. The potential danger of the work on top of permitting and inspection issues means that it's best left to professionals.

A night on the tiles

Tile work is another kitchen improvement that's very difficult to do without previous experience. It also requires equipment like tile cutters and wet saws, which aren't standard items in most people's tool sheds. It's difficult to remove tile once in place, so don't take any chances on materials or labor. The old saying "Measure twice, cut once" applies to cloth and tile equally.

Hired muscle

It's a simple fact that hanging cabinets, placing countertops, and connecting appliances takes a lot of brawn on top of skills. A work crew accomplishes this much faster than a couple of family members or a group of friends who've been talked into a weekend of heavy lifting. A work crew will also help with disposing of old cabinets and appliances.

Superior selection

Contractors can offer you a wider selection of materials than a regular home improvement store. Whether you're on the hunt for custom surfaces, in search of cabinets in non-standard sizes, or looking for unique hardware, working with a pro will help you source specialty items much faster.
