I have been in the kitchen remodeling business for over ten years, and each year has been a little more challenging. This is because the remodel market is always changing, and when you are on top of your game, you simply cannot afford to fail. Luckily, I’ve been given the opportunity to put in my two cents as an Interior Designer, and I’ve come up with some ideas that will help make this process easier and less stressful.
Ive been helping out a lot of people in the kitchen remodel business since I started, and my goal is to help you avoid the common mistakes. First, before you get started, you must do your research. There are a lot of books out there, and you want to make sure you are really familiar with what you want to do before you go to work. This is also a good time to look around for a local contractor.
Kitchen remodeling can be a daunting process, and it’s important to do your research well. Read books, ask questions, and get references. It’s better to hire a contractor than to try to do it yourself.
I know, I know. This is a lot for us to go over in a new blog. But it’s an especially good time to look locally for a contractor. And be sure that you are working with a licensed contractor, and don’t be tempted to work with anyone who’s not! It is important to have someone on your side who is a team player.
Its the same rule as with painting your home. Make sure you are working with an experienced business person of quality. It may not be the cheapest, but its a guarantee that you are getting quality work.
There are tons of contractors who have been doing kitchen remodeling for years, and I know several that I trust. The one I have in mind is Frank K. We all know Frank K. from his blog, A Beautiful Bitch. Frank is a local contractor who has been remodeling kitchens for more than ten years. He makes sure to pay attention to details and always has great customer care in the form of a personal follow up email.
Kitchen remodeling is a really fun hobby. It is also a really safe hobby, as there are plenty of people who will do it for a living. In the end, the pay is pretty good too. You get the good stuff: quality work, great customer service, and great pride in the quality of your work.
Frank does it for a lot more than the money. He does it because he values and enjoys his craft and he wants to help people achieve great things. He does it because he genuinely loves what he does. He does it because his wife can’t tolerate living without her perfect kitchen. He does it because he wants to do what he loves to do, and he loves to remodel kitchens because it’s really fun.
I think that is the biggest reason why kitchen remodeling is still so popular.
Frank has been remodeling kitchens for years. He has a lot of experience. And he enjoys doing it. But I think its because a lot of people still struggle with the idea of spending money for work that is not their own. If you are spending the money you paid for remodeling the kitchen, you are still paying Frank the money that he earns from his kitchen remodeling. And Frank believes that he is making a worthy investment.
