The kitchen was gutted and completely reworked to include custom cabinets, improved lighting, all new appliances, a quartz counter, and a half backsplash finished with a subway to the ceiling.

The hallway leading into the family room was expanded and a laundry chute was added. The old bathroom was beautifully updated with elegant finishes, new flooring, a sink, a toilet, and a new window allowing for more natural light.

The stairs also received a makeover by moving the wall’s opening, adding new handrails, balusters, newel, posts, and treads stained to match the floors. All the floors throughout the lower level were sanded, in some areas, new flooring was added and all were stained to match.
Finally, beside the stairs and entry door, RBR added a new window that brings beautiful light to the beautifully remodeled space.

Details for this remodel include custom cabinets combining walnut and painted shaker for a warm and more modern approach. The counter-depth refrigerator is now integrated into the space and flanked by cabinets. Electrical was installed to accommodate a new beverage center. The beautiful and functional island is fully equipped with seating and waterfall quartz.

Lighting was updated throughout, and we installed new oak hardwood flooring that tied into the existing flooring on the rest of the first floor. Everything was sanded, stained, and refinished.

When remodeling your kitchen or bathroom, your choice of countertops can enhance both the design and durability of the room. Typically the difference in cost of countertops stems from the quality of the material you choose. But before you install new countertops, make sure you know what your money is getting you. While granite and marble countertops are more expensive, they are far more durable than laminate. Choosing a higher quality material is an investment that could save you money down the line AND improve your resale value.

However, that does not necessarily mean that a less expensive option won’t look nice or suit your needs and lifestyle. Many homeowners rarely cook and look at upgrading their kitchen countertops as a cosmetic fix rather than a functional one. The experts at HGTV say that, “Whether your remodeling budget is $1,000 or $100,000, there’s a kitchen countertop that fits your price range.” If you can afford $100,000 marble countertops, they are definitely a great choice. But if you’re like most homeowners on a tighter budget, there are plenty of beautiful, quality options at a more modest price.

Our friends at HGTV have compiled a list of countertop materials to help you choose the best product for your project and budget. The full article and materials list is available here.

Do some research and be a smart homeowner. Know what your home value can support. Will you get your desired ROI if you choose the more expensive option? Pick the right countertop material for your space and only splurge when necessary. Just because you can afford the most expensive material doesn’t mean it’s the best option for your space. Beauty can still be achieved on a budget.

You should ideally earn 70% of your renovation investment back when you sell your home, pending which products or finishes you choose. When updating a kitchen, it’s important to remember to choose materials and styles that appeal to the masses rather than simply catering to your personal taste.

Our friends at HGTV have compiled an insightful list of “six tips on turning your kitchen into buyer bait,” designed to help you increase your ROI. A kitchen can make or break the sale of a house, so if you’re looking to remodel for resale, listen to the HGTV professionals’ advice. They say, “The biggest mistake homeowners make is spending more on the remodeling project than their home value can support.” So do some research. Invest your money wisely. Be smart in your renovation decisions and maximize your ROI.
