Kitchen Remodel Part 1- Considering a remodel...I am often asked what does a kitchen remodel cost? This question is difficult to answer correctly with no information on what type of remodel, but I generally reply with a silly answer of between $1,000.00 to $100,000.00 to help break the ice. I start by getting some feedback from potential customers by listening to there ideas and desires to help me start to get an idea of what they are visioning. As these visions start to get clear I am now able to start with verbal ballpark estimates. This generally helps both myself and the client see a direction that we can start working on going to. In a little bit of time with me we would be able to work on budgeting estimate for your project. How long will I be without my kitchen? After we have an idea of the scope of the project this will allow us to answer this question accurately. A vague answer can be from a few days to few months. What inconveniences am I going to have? You will probably be doing more take out or going out to eat at restaurants. With a family this can be expensive and a challenging process. This is also important for budgeting.
