Maximizing Your Budget

When entering a remodel, homeowners are often shocked at the prices of the materials needed.  A kitchen remodel consisting of cabinets, countertops, hardware, tile, sink, a faucet, and more has a lot of items and the price can add up quicker. 

We recommend with any remodel that you sit down and make a list of your priority items.  Pick 3 parts of the project that are the most important to you.  For example, in your master bath remodel, your list may be:
1. Space for getting ready/larger counter space
2. A whirpool bathtub
3. A decorative accent strip of tile in the shower,

Now while you are out doing your shopping, you know what items may warrant a little more of your budget.  Knowing that you want a larger counter space means that more of your budget will go torwards the counter.  If you really want stone top, you may select a less expensive door style or finish for your cabinet to save some moeny.  Or you may still want the dressier cabinet and may chose to use a solid surface countertop.  With the decorative tile in the shower, you may decide that a simplier tile for the floor is fine.  The whirlpool tub may mean you may use a Polished Chrome finish on your faucets instead of the more expensive Brushed Nickel. 

Having a list of your important items makes shopping and selecting materials much easier.  There is so much to select and it can be overwhelming.  Prioritzing will make everything seem more simple.
