THE MAIN REASONS FOR KITCHEN REMODELING
The kitchen is the heart of your home. It gets more traffic than any other room. When friends and family visit, they typically spend more time in the kitchen. As a result, kitchens get more wear and tear, making them one of the most often remodeled rooms in any home.
Kitchen remodeling adds significant value to most properties. It provides a good return on your investment.
ESSENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The essential elements we consider when remodeling your kitchen are:
Adequate Space - When planning your kitchen remodel, we need to ensure that there is enough space to ease your operations while in the kitchen. We want to be sure that you are comfortable with the cabinet space, counter space, and even floor space; and that the area designated for your kitchen appliances meets your needs. The shape of your counter should not waste useful working space. All the measurements when changing or replacing countertops are checked twice. On completion of your remodel there must be well-established prep and workspace, a landing area and sufficient storage.
Children - Choosing to remodel your kitchen when you have children is critical. The design and outdated appliances in your kitchen can be dangerous to your young children. During the remodeling process, our primary focus is on the safety of all users - young or old. After assessing your kitchen, we will offer advice on design and appliances you plan to install with particular attention to size and makeup of your family. For families with young children, it's a good idea install a few lower cabinets to afford the little ones safe access to their snacks, etc.
Traffic Flow - For homes with more than one chef or cook, we ensure that you more room around the central workspace to allow for natural movement by all users. An open plan is better for entertaining since it provides more space for interaction between the kitchen and adjoining rooms.
Location - If you plan to add a deck to the side or back of your home, we will slot a door into your layout. It makes outdoor entertainment much more convenient and enjoyable. You may want to change or rearrange the position of the windows to regulate the amount of sunlight that comes into your kitchen. We've had customers do this to keep an eye on their kids while playing in the yard. Other considerations cover the clearance width of the doorway, and the required size of the door and verification that there are no cooking surfaces positioned under operable windows.
Universal Design - One of the most critical factors for consideration while remodeling your kitchen is future needs. For example, is your kitchen accessible to individuals with disabilities? Will the plan afford safe use your kitchen during your old age? During the kitchen remodeling process, we will try to make sure all questions are answered regarding accessibility by everyone, regardless of size, age or physical ability.
During your initial consultation, we encourage you to come up with a checklist of both major and minor issues that you would like us to consider while remodeling your kitchen. With this information, we can determine your specific needs, taste, and style. That makes it easier to make you happy with your new kitchen.
WHY HIRE A GENERAL CONTRACTOR
Kitchen remodeling is less stressful when you hire a professional. Here are a few reasons to hire a registered and insured contractor:
Save on the Cost of Having the Job Done Again - To work as a contractor in Iowa, anyone earning more than $2000 a year must register and renew their registration every year after that. Licensed contractors generally provide higher quality work. That is not usually the case with unregistered remodelers. Best practices indicate that hiring a licensed contractor avoids substandard work that may need redoing.
Reliability - The essential requirement when working with any professional is trust. Trusting an unregistered contractor is hard. To avoid being scammed, make sure that you hire a contractor registered in Iowa.
Insurance Coverage - Hiring a licensed general contractor minimizes the chances of them creating any "problems or issues" during the remodel. However, contractors are human, and the unexpected can happen. In such instances, a licensed contractor's insurance company will be able to take care of any damages incurred.
