The Three Main Parts to Focus on Appliances, Cabinets, and Countertops

All aspects of the kitchen and the bathroom are very important in the remodeling process; however, to improve the value of your house through these two rooms alone, you’re going to want to focus on appliances, cabinets, and countertops. Appliances more so apply to the kitchen, although it is still crucial to have the shower, toilets and sinks up to speed in the bathroom. Your appliances are your refrigerators, ovens, stoves, microwave, range hoods and dishwasher. We know that replacing all of these items with high quality can be costly and time-consuming, which is why we usually recommend stainless steel as a safe bet for raising the value. Unfortunately, many homebuyers will consider outdated appliances a good enough reason to pay significantly less for the property. The most common reasoning behind this is that more modern appliances are more costly, and if the homebuyer is going to have to pay for remodeling after purchasing the house, they feel that they should have some money to do so.

The following appliances are cabinets and countertops. These two parts of a kitchen and bathroom play a huge role in what a potential homebuyer deems is an acceptable price to pay for a house. Modern appliances have the appeal partly due to the aesthetic and partly due to the functionality of them. Cabinets and countertops are similar but have a larger emphasis on aesthetics. We aren’t going to pretend that the look the home isn’t important, because it is. Cabinets and countertops have the power to transform a whole room. This is mainly due to all of the options there are when it comes to customizing them. Some of the more popular countertops these days are granite, marble, and quartz and a few of the big cabinet trends are dark finishes, shaker style, and flat fronts. Now, not every homebuyer is going to expect these modern updates; nonetheless, we still recommend freshly done countertops with no chips or stains. For cabinets, either a fresh coat of paint, done by an expert, or an upgrade to something neutral and smooth. These minor changes can make the appearance of your house go the extra mile in the eyes of a homebuyer.

The look of the kitchen and bathroom are critical but there is one more thing that’s even more pressing than this, who you have remodeled the rooms. The best thing to do is remodeling for resale, the second best thing to do is to use a company that you can trust and will come out and do a quality job.
