Signs that Show you its Time for a Kitchen Remodel
Feb 21, 2013
Remodeling is practically a fact of life. Over time, every homeowner’s tastes and individual needs change, making home updates and upgrades all but necessities. The kitchen is one of the highest-traffic rooms in most Scottsdale homes, so it is no exception to this rule. But how do know it’s time for a kitchen remodel? Here are a few sure signs it’s time to take on the task:
- It looks like the kitchen you grew up in
Like anything else, home building materials age and wear out over time and can start to look dingy, lifeless or perpetually grungy. If the counters and cupboards in your kitchen are older than you are, it might be time for some remodeling. Not to worry though, even a few updates like a fresh coat of paint, new counter tops, floors or new hardware can make a big difference.
- It’s wasting energy – and costing you money
Generally, the older an appliance, the less energy-efficient it tends to be. Old refrigerators, dishwashers, stoves and ovens all use much more power than their newer counterparts. If your electric or gas bill is higher than you’d like it to be, consider replacing dated appliances as part of your Scottsdale kitchen remodel.
- It’s just not working anymore
Any room that you spend a significant amount of time in needs to be practical and able to be used how you need to use it. Is that center island always in your way? Do you need more storage? Does the wallpaper make you nauseous? If you can’t stand working in your kitchen because of its look or layout – it’s time for some remodeling to enhance the functionality and livability of the space.
