3 Ways to Avoid Sticker Shock During Your Kitchen Remodel



Some homeowners overspend on a kitchen remodel because they have unrealistic expectations of what the service will cost. The good news is that there are many ways to avoid this. A premier kitchen remodeling company, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southern Rhode Island, has some handy tips.

  1. Work with a reliable kitchen remodeler. They can make a huge difference in making your project affordable. Choose someone who values transparency in their work process. You’ll recognize this by the accuracy and detail they put in their kitchen estimate and contract. A dependable remodeler will set your expectations and won’t downplay the actual expenses involved in your project. 
  2. Do your homework. You should already have a solid plan and goal for your project before calling your remodeler. By doing some research in advance, you get to make decisions early and determine which options to prioritize. Once you do meet with your remodeler, the design and planning stage becomes even more streamlined.
  3. Leave plumbing fixtures and electric connections alone. It can be tempting to put your oven, fridge or dishwasher in a different spot when you have the kitchen remodeled. But doing so can drive up your costs since it means adjusting the plumbing and electrical wiring. It’s best to get new fixtures and appliances but place them in the same location.
