When you discuss your remodeling needs with a kitchen contractor, what do you talk about first? While you’re probably trying to discuss the countertops or the island, your contractor is likely to ask you about the appliances first. There are several reasons the appliances should take priority whenever you plan a kitchen renovation or even new kitchen construction.
You’ll Buy the Appliances You Need
Without the appliances, your kitchen might as well be an empty room. You need them for cooking, reheating, cleaning the dishes and keeping food fresh. It’s important to determine which appliances you need the most and how many people will be using them. Prioritizing the appliances means putting the functionality of your kitchen first.
Everything Will Fit
A good home renovator will make sure your appliances fit. Your work triangle, which is made up of your range, sink and refrigerator, will be complete if you have the appliances already and your renovation contractor takes them into account as they build the kitchen. It’s easier to measure the areas where the appliances should fit, and even create a preview so you and your contractor can determine whether the arrangement is exactly what you want.
No Technical Mistakes
If you already have the appliances, you don’t have to worry about the electrical and the plumbing. This is especially important if you have appliances that require special power outlets or dedicated plumbing, as in the case of some refrigerators and dishwashers. Your contractor can install everything correctly if they know which appliances will be used.
No Problems With Swapping Appliances
Buying the appliances you really want before renovating your kitchen means the chances of wanting to replace an appliance when the kitchen is already complete will be much lower. It’s not easy to replace a large appliance if it’s already in place or if it doesn’t fit.
To make sure your kitchen renovation runs as smoothly as possible, choose your appliances first. You can then search for a “kitchen remodeler near me” and discuss with your chosen contractor how you want your appliances to be positioned in your remodeled kitchen. This way, you’re reducing the possibility of mistakes and misunderstandings.
