Kitchen Remodels-Do it yourself or hire a contractor?
Hell and thank you for watching our brief video about kitchen remodels. How to get
started and do it yourself or higher a contractor brought to you by
Austin.KitchenRemodelCompany.com. When you decide to remodel your kitchen you’re
taking on a tremendous task that get easily have disastrous results. Before you pick up
that hammer and start demolishing those old cabinets and countertops you really need to
sit down and figure out exactly what it is you want from your new kitchen.
Thought and careful planning must be utilized prior to starting any remodeling project so
first thing is how do you get started, what you need to do is go get a digital camera if you
don’t already have one and take that camera and visit at least 6 remodel showrooms the
bigger the store the better. Take pictures of everything that you like and everything that
you think you could possibly want and take those pictures home to make comparisons.
The next step is setting a budget and sticking to it. You have to set your budget and then
add a minimum of 10% on top of that for any unexpected expenses and believe me they
do exist even in the best run project. Layout your top two choices for each feature from
the pictures that you took at the remodel stores and then plan which ones are going to fit
in to your budget.
Now here’s the area where you get to cut in some places and splurge another just to make
sure that you’re really getting what you want in the areas that are most important to you.
Now the big question is to hire a contractor and not hire a contractor. If you decide to hire
a contractor make sure that you get 3 to 4 qoutes at a minimum. Use only local
contractors who are within a 10 to 15 minute drive from your home and compare the bits
carefully to make sure that they are complete. Not all bids are written the same and in this
area cheapest always is not the best and if you’re not sure ask.
If you decide to not hire a contractor then at least consider hiring one as a consultant. Pay
them an hourly rate to check in on your project from time to time. Their experience can
help you avoid some major pitfalls that can end up causing you way more than what their
consulting rate ever could have been. So go to our site to get the full report for free of all
