10 homeowner mistakes

With proper planning, your job will start on time, demolition will go smooth without unforeseeable issues, materials will arrive on schedule without damage, installation will take place without a problem, and your house will stay clean the whole time. Without planning the chances of those things occurring are highly unlikely. For years remodeling has been at the top of homeowners to do lists, however it is also the 2nd most stressful item on in most people’s daily life. In the US remodeling is a leading source of consumer complaints with the BBB. Ensure success by avoiding these common mistakes.
1. No experience… Do not try to be your own project manager. A kitchen remodel is an expensive, difficult, and logistically challenging project, and the help of a qualified professional is crucial for your project’s success.
2. Do not hire the wrong contractor. If your potential contractor shows up late to your consultation, does not return your phone calls, or even if you just have a bad feeling in general, find someone else.
3. Create a solid scope of work. Without proper planning accounting for every detail of the project, you will be leaving grey area which equals headaches and addition expense. Besides, you want your potential remodelers bidding on the same scope of work. (apples to apples) This means specifying the type of flooring, cabinetry, countertop material, lighting, backsplash tile, sink, faucet, garbage disposal, and cabinet hardware. Don’t fail to specify what you want and you contractor may end up supplying lower-end options, and you could end up overpaying.
4. Have a detailed payment schedule. It is crazy how many stories I have heard...  I thought it went without saying but never pay more than 33 percent of the total job cost up front and never pay in full until the job is completed. Work out a payment schedule and have it in writing.
5. Keep your eyes on the prize. Have you ever tried to go to Home Depot to pick up a fitting? You will almost always with $200 worth of stuff you did not need? It is important to make a list and stick to it. Avoiding multiple trips to the supply store can save you a ton of time and money.
6. Get everything in writing. Make sure the contract you enter has all the crucial job details. Who is supplying what, what is being supplied, what work is being performed in detail, design layout specs, as well as payment and completion schedule?
7. Do not settle for a builder grade remodel. Kitchen remodeling is expensive, and if you are going to do it you want to increase the value of your home. If you do a mediocre remodel, the next owners of your house will dream of ripping out your kitchen as soon as they move in. Play it safe. Build the dream kitchen that fits within your budget.
8.Look past the pretty.  Do not just worry about the flooring, cabinetry, cabinet faces, backsplash tile, and quartz counters. The plumbing is a crucial part of a kitchen remodel. You need to plan on replacing anything that could leak in the future. IE: Garbage Disposal, P-trap, sink supply lines, Shut off valves, etc. One small leak and your new wood flooring, or kitchen cabinetry will get destroyed. Pro tip: Make sure to put caps on the water supply lines or valves. A slow drip can turn into $1,000’s in damage.
9. Do not change your mind—again. Adding, reordering, and making changes leads to delays, change orders, and blown budgets. Try not to test the patience of your contractor. You must remember he most likely has another job lined up after this one and it has a schedule too.
10. Be prepared for the project. Plan on eating out of for a while. Make as much room as possible for the renovation crew to set up and work. Find out if you need to make additional space in the garage to store materials and tools.  Empty your kitchen cupboards prior to the day 1 start.

How do I hire an Northglenn CO kitchen remodeler?

  • Get recommendations from family, friends, and neighbors. Word of Mouth is still the best way to find a contractor.
  • Search Google
  • Read consumer reviews and ask your potential kitchen contractor for a few references.
  • Verify contractor license, insurance, and bonding.
  • Verify contracts are detailed: Scope of work, payment terms, material choices, start and completion dates should be included.
The best contractors are usually always busy, but they are well worth the wait.

What questions do I ask my contractor's references?

​1. Did the contractor use subcontractors for the work?  If so for what parts of the job?
2. What were the contractor's work habits? Did they return phone calls promptly? Did he show up on time and ready to work?
3. Did he stick to the scope of the work? Were any unauthorized changes of materials or details made? Did he keep your house clean during the project?
4. Did your project stay on budget? Did materials arrive on time? Did he keep you up to date on his progress or potential delays?
5. Did anything go wrong? How quickly was the problem resolved?

Keep your remodel crew happy

  • Offer beverages to the crew. Coffee in the morning or a cold drink and a granola bar around lunch is awesome.
  • Be courteous of their time. Do not be afraid to ask questions but keep in mind the crew will not be able to work efficiently if you are in the way.
  • Make a list of any questions that arise so that you do not forget anything.
  • Unless it is an emergency ask your questions during business hours.
  • Say good morning and be friendly
  • Have gratitude for hard work and skill put into your project.
Follow these tips and you will have a happy team.

Kitchen budgeting tips

  • ​Try and buy your appliances as a package deal. Compare packages and weigh out what you are getting for your money. Appliance package prices range greatly from 2,000 to more than 15,000.
  • Consider building a walk-in pantry.  It is a very economical way to have all the necessary storage without the cabinetry cost. A walk-in pantry can supply more storage than an entire wall of cabinets
  • Quartz and Granite's resistance to moisture, scratching, and high heat makes the material a great choice for countertops. When looking at quartz or granite try to select a few from different price groups. If your 1st choice is too expensive consider settling on a cheaper choice.
  • A tiled backsplash can protect your walls and make messes easier to clean. It is sure to give your kitchen the personality it deserves.
  • Well planned lighting is sure to brighten up your kitchen. Under counter task lighting, pendant lights, and can lights can make a world of difference.
  • Upgrades such as fresh paint, new cabinet hardware, or flooring can totally transform your space.
  • Save thousands by sticking to the original layout.

 Scope of work checklist - Kitchen remodel Northglenn CO

  1. ​Structural Changes? Removing a wall can enlarge the look and feel of your home. Creating an open concept and adding a kitchen island is quite common. Removing a kitchen soffit can enable installation of taller cabinets and or crown molding. Keep in mind an existing soffit usually has electrical, plumbing, or other mechanical concealed within it which will need to be relocated.
  2. Cabinetry? If your cabinets are in good shape it may make more sense to paint, refinish, or reface them instead of a full replacement. Explore our Cabinetry.
  3. Countertops? What type of surface do I want? How many square feet of countertop do I have? You may want to consider using a cheaper material on the island such as butcher block as it is possible to achieve a high-end look for less with this product. Some other available options include, recycled glass counters, concrete countertops, marble, onyx, quartzite and more.
  4. Flooring?
  5. Lighting?
  6. Backsplash?
  7. Sink & Faucet?
  8. Appliances / Garbage disposal?
  9. Hardware & Accessories?
  10. Other Upgrades/Notes:

Key benefits of hiring a kitchen designer in Northglenn CO

​An experienced kitchen designer can save you time and money. They strive to plan for and answer all the questions that will arise during your project before it even starts. Kitchen planners know all the tricks:  how to maximize storage, affordable substitutions for high-end materials, even the best places to source materials. A professional kitchen design and build company will create a sketch of your existing kitchen showing the location of windows, doors, heating, plumbing lines, and electrical outlets. These renderings are crucial for both accurately depicting the layout of your kitchen as well as ordering the proper materials. No one wants to be without a kitchen for an extra 3 weeks because a special-order cabinet was never ordered. Hiring a kitchen designer can help you avoid potential remodeling pitfalls.
Before meeting with the designer create a detailed wish-list including all the goals for your kitchen renovation project. Do you want more space? More storage? More style? A built-in pantry? Organize your list by priority and be prepared to make changes to stay within budget. Create an idea folder and collect pictures of rooms, products, materials, and architectural details that appeal to you. This can really help the designer to source the items that you want. Zillow and Pinterest are great places to look at pictures of finished kitchen remodels. I recommend Pental Surfaces for quartz. They have 94 different colors, plus a virtual gallery where you can see what each color looks like installed. I recommend Arizona Tile’s Slab Yard for granite. They have options for every style and budget.

How do I draw my own floorplan?

  • ¼” square graph paper
  • Pencil & eraser
  • Ruler
  • Tape Measure
Plan on a ¼” square being equal to 6 inches Begin by measuring & drawing the perimeter walls of the kitchen. As you are going around the room be sure to mark existing locations of the sink, window, door, and appliance locations.
Once you have this done you can either draw the existing cabinet footprint or create a completely new design. I usually draw 2 footprints so that I can draw a couple of different options.

How much does a kitchen remodel in Northglenn CO cost?

$20,000-$25,000 is the average price range for a full kitchen remodel in Northglenn CO without appliances. A partial remodel can be completed for as little as $5,000 while a high-end custom kitchen remodel can be more than $60,000. Try not to spend more than 15 percent of your home's market value on your kitchen. Save 10 -15 percent of your remodeling budget for potential unforeseen costs that may arise.  When professionally built, a kitchen remodel will greatly increase the value of your home. ​
