Myth: Kitchen remodels are too expensive.
Remodeling your kitchen doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Sure, we’ve all seen dream kitchens in magazines or on HGTV with custom cabinetry, exotic marble countertops and $60,000 appliance budgets, but the truth is, with wise choices, you can build a luxurious kitchen at a fraction of the cost. Choicecabinetstore.com’s products offer incredible quality at a price point that is well in reach of the average homeowner; in fact, choicecabinestore.com’s kitchens offer some of the most affordable cabinet and countertop options on the market.
Our designers can help you take the guesswork out of remodeling your kitchen and assist you to put together all of the elements to build the kitchen of your dreams, at a price that you can easily afford.
Myth: Refacing cabinets is cheaper than replacing.
Myth: Refacing cabinets is cheaper than replacing.
If the cabinets in your kitchen are damaged or made from composites like MDF and particle board, chances are that refacing them is not a good option. You’ll end up spending as much, if not more money to make them suitable before you can even begin to reface them. Refacing means that you’ll also be stuck with the layout that you already have in your kitchen. If you want to improve the traffic flow, better utilize the room’s space or make use of many of today’s appliance options, replacing your cabinets is the only option.
Myth: Custom cabinets are stronger and better made.
Myth: Custom cabinets are stronger and better made.
This is not necessarily true. Most inexpensive cabinets cut corners with cheap laminates, particleboard composites and are often manufactured overseas to reduce costs. At choicecabinetstore.com, our cabinets feature multi-ply construction and solid wood doors and facing, just like custom options and are manufactured right here in the USA, in shops located in New Jersey and Ohio. Every cabinet that we sell, gets inspected and a final assembly before it leaves our store, so you can be sure that you’re receiving the best cabinets for your budget!
Myth: You have to spend 20-25% of your home’s value on a kitchen remodeling project.
Myth: You have to spend 20-25% of your home’s value on a kitchen remodeling project.
In reality, you need to figure out what amount is right for you when you set your budget. Many find that the best return on investment is in the 5-15% range of their home’s value, for their kitchen remodel. Basing your budget on resale value however, overlooks the fact that you’re also going to be living in and using your kitchen regularly, so factor in your enjoyment when you make your kitchen budget, too.
Kitchen budget factors:
- 40%: Cabinetry
- 25%: Labor (installation and plumbing)
- 12%: Counters
- 8%: Appliances
- 7%: Flooring
- 4%: Lighting & electrical
- 3% Wall covering, pant or wallpaper
- 1% Misc.
