It’s the heart of your home and it’s the one area that brings everyone in your home together. Here, we will give some reasons on why your kitchen should be remodeled. Maybe you need advice or just some ideas to get your project going. If that’s the case, contact a Design-Build General Contractor to turn your dream kitchen into a reality!

Energy Savings and Water Usage

The third reason to remodel may be overlooked. Many of your older appliances may not be energy star rated which tells you, you could be wasting money on electricity and/or water. All the new appliances sold now have an energy star rating which tells you just how much the appliance should cost you a year to run. In LOS ANGELES county, these water and energy saving appliances are extremely important in your new remodel because the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power offers cash back rebates for them. When you hire a Design-Build General Contractor make sure he is finding the proper appliances and hardware so you can see a return on your investment through the LADWP.

Value

In a seller’s market it is so important to stand out! Remodeling your kitchen with a Design-Build General Contractor can give you the advantage you need when buyers are in the market to purchase a new house. Unless it’s a buyer who’s in the market to purchase a fixer-upper, your newly remodeled kitchen will lead the pack.

Time to Rejuvenate

A big reason many LOS ANGELES homeowners choose to remodel their kitchens is because their kitchen is just out of date and old. If your kitchen is anywhere near the 20 to 30year mark, chances are your cabinetry is worn, hardware is falling off and wallpaper is peeling. Not to mention those horrible dinky appliances that just can’t keep up anymore. Nothing’s worse than a stove you have to light manually! That’s only a few of the things that could go wrong after that long period of time. Your outdated kitchen did what it was meant to do and now it’s ready for a new facelift. Contact a Design-Build General Contractor for an initial consultation on the possibilities of remodeling that dinky kitchen.

Stay Up to Date

It could be that you’ve purchased an older house and the kitchen present is just a little bit outdated but still in very good condition. Living in LOS ANGELES we all know outdated things need to go! So this is your chance to spruce things up into a contemporary style that is much more appealing to you and the guests you invite over. White shaker cabinets with a stone counter top could be the perfect opportunity to keep your kitchen up to date! Contact a Design-Build General Contractor to present ideas on which materials and colors would work best for you.

Personal Needs

If you’ve just purchased your house and the kitchen hasn’t been recently remodeled chances are the setup doesn’t quite meet your personal needs or that of your family. Or in most family cases appliances from the past don’t meet certain safety requirements as new appliances do, which could be dangerous for younger kids. Spatial awareness is very important if you’re thinking about extending your family as well. More space will be needed for bigger family meals. Knocking down a wall may be the best option to open up space. Contact a Design-Build General Contractor for ideas on how to best remodel and personalize your kitchen.

Aging With Your Kitchen

In LOS ANGELES, once a homeowner has settled in, it’s hard for them to ever think about leaving. Which is why it’s important when remodeling your kitchen to think about how you can use it safely throughout your life time. Make it accessible for everybody now rather than later down the road when you have to remodel again. If this idea is of importance to you, hiring a Design-Build General Contractor will help create a kitchen that is accessible to anyone who uses it regardless of height or disabilities.
