Have you been dreaming about installing new cabinets in your kitchen or
bathroom, but you just can’t justify the cost? Then consider these home
improvement statistics.
RE/MAX, a leading real estate industry force
in the U.S. and Canada, estimates that a kitchen remodel project can add
up to 150 percent of its cost to a home’s resale value. That means if
you spend $20,000 redoing your kitchen, you can expect to get back
$30,000 for your efforts should you decide to sell your house down the
road. Not too shabby of a way to make $10,000, especially when you get
to enjoy your remodeled kitchen in the meantime, is it? A new full bath,
similarly, can result in as much as a 130 percent return on your
investment.
What makes kitchen and bathroom remodeling so
value additive?
By far, it’s the fresh and clean appeal of new cabinets. So if a full
room remodel is out of the question, start and end with the cabinets.
You’ll enjoy the same new appeal to your home while reaping the same
increased value benefits.
New kitchen and bathroom cabinets, however, aren’t just about the
money. If you’re looking for a quick way to update the look and feel of
your home, new cabinetry is also the way to go. The character of older
homes can be maintained by choosing kitchen and bathroom cabinets that
match the age and flavor of the house. Meanwhile, newer homes that were
built on a tight budget with low-grade materials will blossom before
your eyes with top-grade wood cabinetry and decorative hardware. You
might even consider adding
glass panels to your new cabinets to give your kitchen or
bathroom an open and inviting air.
The ceiling is the limit when it comes to your kitchen cabinet and
bathroom cabinet remodeling projects. But one thing is for certain: You
and your future home’s owners will thank you for the new cabinetry
enhancements.
