Kitchen Remodel Guide by Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling. Kitchen remodeling is still very popular in Gainesville and throughout Florida. With the average remodeling project providing as much as a 72% return on investment, kitchen remodeling just makes sense. Before starting your kitchen remodel you should get some ideas for your project. Spend some time browsing remodeling websites or design magazines looking for designs that meet both your style and your budget. A good place to start is places like Pinterest and other home remodeling websites.
Kitchen Remodel Guide
Kitchen Design – First, you will want to consider the space you have to work with. The average kitchen is usually about 200 to 300 square feet in size. If your kitchen is not large enough for the remodeling plan you had in mind; you would need to either select another plan or consider expanding your current kitchen space. What are you looking to achieve in your new design? Are you looking for a spacious uncluttered look or a more functional kitchen that makes use of all the space?
Remodel Purpose – What’s the purpose for remodeling your kitchen? How do you want to use this space? Have you outgrown your current kitchen and need more room? Do you cook for many people or mainly just for yourself? Is the kitchen used for a gathering place as well for entertaining and homework or is it used mainly for just preparing meals? Make notes about what you would like to achieve by remodeling your kitchen; and the things you don’t like about your current kitchen as well.This will all be helpful when designing your new kitchen.
Storage Space – Think about what you will require for storage and cabinet space. This would be a good time to take inventory of pots, pans, and kitchen utensils and decide what you need. Make sure you plan for enough cabinet space in your new design to avoid a cluttered looking kitchen. There are also many choices in cabinet styles to accommodate all of your kitchen utensils and cookware.

Work Space – You will want to consider how much work space you will require also. Be sure to include enough countertops to make your kitchen as efficient as possible. If you have the room, you may want to consider an island for extra work space and storage. Your kitchen should be an efficient work space, not an obstacle course.
Keep to your Budget – It’s very easy to over spend once you start a remodeling project; so you will need to decide what’s most important to you. For example, is spending more on the range more important than the sink? Splurge on the items most important, while saving on the others. This is where many people may tend to go beyond their budget. As a rule of thumb, you should set aside about 10% to 20% of your remodeling budget for contingencies.
