Why You Should Remodel Your Kitchen Right Now

Is It Worth Remodeling My Kitchen?

If you were to start the kitchen renovation process soon, you’d have to wait another few weeks or months before you could enjoy the finished product—but the results will be worth it for years to come. 

The lasting benefits of remodeling your kitchen include:

• More space. You’ll have more countertop space to prepare food, and you won’t bump elbows as much with other family members or guests in your kitchen.
  
  
• Express your own style and aesthetic. The kitchen is the heart of your home—one of its most frequented rooms. You deserve to have a kitchen that feels like your own.
  
  
• Reduce energy and utility costs. If you have outdated kitchen appliances or plumbing fixtures, they’re likely costing you money on your water and electricity bills. Replacing them with Energy Star-rated appliances would offer you significant savings over time. Plus, most energy-efficient kitchen upgrades are tax deductible.
  
  
• Cut down on everyday maintenance needs. A countertop that attracts stains or a floor that gets scuffed often just adds more tasks (and stress) to your daily routine. Many modern materials are made to look clean and polished even after heavy use.
  
  
• Higher resale value. A study released by the National Association of Realtors® reports that homeowners can recoup a significant portion of their kitchen renovation costs when they sell their homes (more on the study below).

What a Kitchen Remodel Adds to Your Home Value

A kitchen remodel is a smart investment you can make to increase the value of your home, even if you don’t plan on selling it anytime soon. The 2022 Remodeling Impact Report indicates that homeowners can recover up to 75% of their costs on a complete kitchen renovation and up to 67% of their costs on a kitchen upgrade.

That’s great news for homeowners who need to renovate their kitchens on a tight budget! Almost any upgrade you make could increase the value of your home, regardless of cost. But which upgrades will offer you the best return on investment? 

The updates that give you the best ROI are those that affect the largest surface areas or improve your kitchen’s functionality, like:

• Replacing laminate countertops
• Installing fresh flooring
• Refinishing real wood cabinets
• Adding energy-efficient appliances
• Replacing the backsplash
• Brightening up the area with new lighting
• Changing out plumbing fixture hardware (like a new sink)

Signs It’s Time to Remodel Your Kitchen

You’ll know that now’s the time to start a kitchen remodel when:

• You don’t have enough counter space to prep your family’s go-to meals. 
• You can’t fit your essential pots, pans, and utensils in the cabinets. 
• Your appliances and hardware are more than 10 years old. 
• There are dimly lit corners of your kitchen. 
• You’re constantly bumping elbows with other family members while preparing a meal. 
• Your kitchen’s layout or functionality is why you don’t want to host guests.
