When you want to add value to your home, there’s probably no better place to start than with a kitchen repair and home bathroom improvement project done right. Many home improvement plans include one room or the other, but as this article will discuss, it can be extremely worthwhile to consider combining bathroom improvements and kitchen repair as one larger project. You may also save money by doing both at the same time.
The kitchen and bathroom are two of the most used spaces in the entire house. The kitchen is often considered one of the main places in the home. Perhaps the most beneficial improvements you can make when considering a kitchen repair and bathroom home improvement project is to start with the kitchen and bathroom countertops. Many people start with kitchen and bathroom cabinets, but many times you can make a change to the countertops and then get by just refinishing the cabinets to smartly save a couple hundred bucks.
Stop and plan before you tear out those countertops
When choosing your countertops, you’ll want to decide on three very important factors before getting too involved in this project.
One – How easy do you want them to clean?
Two: Will you be using any tile on your countertops?
Three – Could you add an extra sink?
If you’re considering selling your home, you may want to take a closer look at how your countertops look rather than how easy they are to clean. If you’re considering tile accents for your countertops, this could quickly involve a bit more expense, but if your home is in the higher value range, it can be a smart way to go. If you have the space, it would be wise to definitely consider adding an additional sink in the kitchen. Maybe you could even add a vegetable sink.
Save money with a little bartering
Since you’ll be doing both a bathroom upgrade and a kitchen repair, you can buy both countertops at the same time and maybe save a little money with a little bartering. You may be able to get a better deal using this method if you visit your nearest building materials supplier and deal directly with the store owner rather than a larger corporate building materials company. Your next home bathroom improvement and kitchen repair project should be a success if you plan ahead and think through the issues discussed in this article.
