This is a slide show of our kitchen remodel. My husband and I started this project in March of 2008 and just finished it at the end of May. We did all the work ourselves and saved a lot of money, I did the electrical, plumbing, flooring and tiling and my husband designed and made the cabinets, installed the solid surface countertops and sink put in the crown molding, etc…. and we did the rest together. I also put new flooring in the rest of the house except the bedrooms and we painted and …
Help answer the question about kitchen remodeling
Should I spend the time and money on remodeling the kitchen?I just bought my first little 2/1 starter condo. The place is pretty nice and spacious for 868 SqFt. Its in a great neighborhood. The living room is nice and the bathroom is descen but the kitchen is like a cave from hell. The kitchen is a boxed in 10×10 slum, pretty much the same as it was the day they completed it in 1987. Orange/yellow linoleum, old dark cabinets, beat up appliances and one dim light in the center.
I have the money to put into remodeling the kitchen to be quite nice. New lighting, maple cabinets, granite countertops, stone floors and stainless steel appliances. Here in NorCal kitchens get the money on a resell. The dilemma is, do I want to sink that kind of money and effort into a place that will scare away "starter home buyers" or do I want to go for it and appeal to the higher end bachelor/bachelorette? Any suggestions?
I do plan on living in it for about 5 years to build some nice equity. I would like to live with the nicer kitchen, but I would be content with a less extravagant kitchen that would cost thousands less.
Good answers so far…I was thinking about the fact that the kitchens in the other unit's for sale in the complex are updated, somewhat, but are still 10 years old and not impressive. That’s why I picked mine, besides the best location in the complex; it had the oldest kitchen with the lowest asking price.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to go "all out” on the remodel or hold back and just do a "nice" remodel. I am definitely doing more than just some painting on cabinets and a tile backsplash.

Thanks for the compliment and yes, my husband and I did all the work. The only thing we hired out was for putting in the gas lines for the stove and fireplace and we also had a plumber come in after we stripped every thing down to the studs and had him replace all of our old galvanized pipes and replace them with copper, so he only did the rough plumbing, we did the rest.
I agree, the pale yellow sounds nice. But if the color concerns you, try a pale yellow with a bit more earthy brown tones in it. When you look at your paint samples, you will see the pure yellows that are crisp in color and you will see the more muted yellows. Try out a couple of the more muted yellows.
Also, go ahead and collect samples of what you want to eventually do in your home, like the granite color. This will help to cordinate everything as you go.
Also the paint stores sell small quart and smaller samples of paint that you can test out colors to see if you like them. I love these. You can buy several colors, paint them side, by side and then make a final decision.
Most electrical contractors charge a minimum of $350-$600 per job. If the electrical breaker box is near the kitchen then the minimum charge may cover the whole job. If wires need to be run a long way to get to the kitchen, then the charge could be much more.
Hello-
I am a kitchen & bath designer but in a different geological area. I would suggest that you do what is called a "comp" (comparesion) of the houses around you. If they have granite tops and stainless appliances, go for it!!! If not, you are going to price yourself out of the neighborhood. You will never get your money back (it is projected that from the "get-go" you are only getting 86% at the time of the sale anyway) But on the flip side, you will sell your house much faster if you do remodel it. I would suggest keeping the price resanable by keeping the fixtures in the same location (e.g.: sink), doing a semi-custom line of cabinets and maybe splurging on granite. After all, you are going to live there for another 5 years!
If the ceiling above is insulated, you cannot use non-IC rated cans. Other than that, most light fixtures are allowed. Hope this helps.
We are a well established full service from design to construction to installation kitchen and closet company, 15 years. Our contracts are 50% deposit (covers Material cost), 40% on first day of installation (when materials are all in the building) and 10% upon completion of job and customers sign off on all punch list and walk through.
The final moneys are basically our profit, so that are incentive to complete in a timely matter. Our contracts are non negotiable, except for our clients that are builders and designers that are repeat business. Usually customers get un easy about the deposit, but we do provide a packet, that includes how long we have been around, our BBB report and our licensing with years licensed shown.
That is our policy and is almost standard with some exceptions.
What kind of countertops are those?
It took 3 months….. we did it ourselves and it cost 27,000$ Canadian….
Unexpected expenses: wiring that was no longer any good, having to buy more tiles, redoing the floor base to make it smooth for the new tiles (because pulling up the old ones ruined the floor underneath) and having to make a new countertop instead of just being able to relaminate the old one (the wood underneath the old laminate was rotting).
Yes… very happy with the outcome! We have just sold the house… paid it 133 500.00$ just over 5 years ago…. just sold it for 279 500.00$… I'd say that definitely covers the cost of the kitchen renovation!
Excellent job. Looks very nice. Did you do all the work yourself?
It’s called Meganite, it is a solid surface countertop just like Corian. Generally they have to be installed by a certified installer, but we did it ourselves, it’s not that hard.
I just realized I replied to the last post with my other log-in, this is cherylstuff.
We are just finishing our remodel … Very similar to yours in the fact that we tore it down to the studs. Nice job on the tile work, especially around the window!
