It doesn’t matter if you’re planning on selling your home in the next year or 20 years, the value that it holds is an important thing to consider whenever you’re remodeling. The kitchen is an area where you can increase your home’s value the easiest as it’s one of the areas where you spend most of your time and convenience and comfort are king. Our team at J. Schwartz, LLC Remodeling & Fine Home Building will help you with the areas you can increase the value of your home the most with a kitchen remodel in Philadelphia.
Update lighting
It’s not uncommon to avoid spending time in a dark room. If your kitchen is dark, you’re probably not going to want to spend much time there and you could end up eating takeout more than you’d like. Update your lighting fixtures to produce the proper amount of light for you and your family.
While it’s nice to have options for a nice, bright kitchen, we understand if you also want to turn the lights down a bit. We can help you install lighting fixtures that provide different levels of lighting for those romantic meals with low light or as you wind down in the evening.
Update cabinets
Cabinets don’t often age well in a kitchen. The style of wood or paint color will often come out of style faster than any other aspect of the room. You can modernize your cabinets by painting the doors, upgrading the hardware, or even replacing them altogether. Even if updating your cabinets is all that you do, your kitchen will appear as though it was completely redone without a complete overhaul.
Put in a new sink
The kitchen sink can be a strong point of emphasis when a buyer is looking at what you have to offer. You can increase the value of your kitchen by putting in a new sink. You don’t always have to go with the biggest and most functional kitchen sink. You can improve your kitchen by upgrading a small sink to a larger one by having a larger hole cut into your countertop. Although, one of the hottest kitchen items these days is a farmhouse sink. This is one large basin without a center divider so you’re not limited on space. They also jut out from the counter with an apron area to keep you from getting splashed as you lean over the sink.
Install wood flooring
Having new wood flooring installed in your home is a great way to increase its value. Buyers are often looking for flooring surfaces that are durable and easy to clean. Wood flooring provides a strong surface that can handle a lot of foot traffic. It doesn’t wear down nearly as fast as carpeting and can make for easy clean-up with spills. If you’re not sure what kind of wood flooring will fit your kitchen the best.
Replace countertops
Vinyl countertops are cheap and easy to maintain. They’re resistant to water and are easily replaced if the vinyl pulls away from the counter. However, quartz and marble countertops provide an extra level of durability and appeal as they’re visually attractive and don’t require you to use trivets or cutting boards all the time.
