When
doing kitchen renovations in Vancouver or bathroom renovations in
Vancouver, it is important to not go overboard and keep your price
reasonable. Minor renovations of both these spaces help you add value
to your home, but if you spend too much, you won't recoup as much of
it when you sell. Here are some tips to keep your kitchen and bath
renovations on budget.
Do
some work yourself
Though
you want to hire a licensed and experienced contractor to do your
kitchen and Bathroom
renovations services
in Vancouver,
you don't need that person to do all the scut work. You can save
money on your remodel by doing your own demolition and cleanup. You
also can do other things such as painting or installing hardware on
cabinets. Each small thing you do will reduce your renovation bill.
Reuse what you can
Many
people think a renovation means everything has to be new, but you can
save a considerable amount of money by reusing items. Cabinets can be
resurfaced, refaced or painted so that you can still use them.
Appliances that are in good shape and of a color that matches your
new color scheme can be kept. All of these will save you money on
your remodel.
Keep it simple
What
can make bathroom and kitchen renovations in Vancouver really
expensive is having to move utility lines. Try to avoid making
changes to your kitchen or bath that would require having to move gas
or water lines. This will help keep down costs.
