AFFORDABLE Kitchen Remodel

Accurate planning is of up most importance. Accurate planning can keep this kitchen remodel on or below budget, especially when we are remodeling a kitchen that contains limited space. It is always easier to create a plan when the kitchen space is more than ample. Just ask Molly and Scott Smith. The kitchen was circa 1981 and it showed its age. The grout on the customer's kitchen counter tops were almost impossible to clean. Worst of all the dishwasher and sink sat on opposite sides of the room leaving the family "ping-ponging" around the kitchen at the end of the night.

The track lighting was state-of-the, art 28 years ago. The cabinets were dark brown stained press board.

While the cramped kitchen was doable when the Smith's purchased the home in 2003, it was now time for the long awaited kitchen remodel. Finally, Molly approached Scott and pointed the "souring" points about the kitchen. She explained how her need to be productive and creative was being impeded. At times she found herself crying in her own older kitchen.


Molly had spent the last few years contemplating a kitchen remodel. She thought about more work space, using white wood cabinets and white appliances that would make "her" kitchen appear larger. Granite countertops was another de rigueur feature. She also new that she wanted the traditional opening to the dining area altered to look a generation ahead rather than back. She also wanted to add a cabinet next to the 3 year old dishwasher to add more counter space.

Because the couple had a modest budget and sumptuous taste, it was time to call in a professional kitchen remodel (licensed) contractor. In these situations (small kitchen) Joseph Hauser will personally sit down with both husband and wife to get an accurate feel of what they desire. He offers his own recommendations too. In a situation like this Joe knows the plan needs to incorporate all of the family's wishes. In this case, it included the granite counter tops and the new archway.
