Renovating can sometimes seem as an intimidating process as we’ve mentioned before but once you reflect and breakdown the cost it can seem more achievable. Nazeli Design is always here to make your remodel as seamless as possible. We understand that you just want to have more insight before you begin a tremendous process.
There are multiple factors to consider when remodeling your kitchen. We always recommend bringing in a few contractors to get bids on (get more info in our previous blog post “What Is The First Thing To Do When Renovating a House”) . It’s important to see what your options are when it comes to hiring a team for your project. Ask a few designers to come consult with you, get contractors in there and explain your vision to them. You might assume you could bust down a wall and create the island you’ve always dreamed of, however when it comes down to it you’ll see it’s a structural wall and you can’t do anything about it. The right people will guide you and give you the right information.
When hiring a designer for a full kitchen remodel you can expect to pay around $10,000-15,000 just for their fee give or take. When you break down this cost it is only a fraction of your entire remodel cost as a design firm like Nazeli Design is going to give you the most luxurious concierge service. When you bring us on you won't have to do a thing. We do all the searching for you, we get all the quotes and bids for you, and we are with you through every step of the way. We bring the materials to you reflecting samples and options, we will tell you where we think your appliances need to go, and most importantly we will help you optimize your space to its full capacity. We bring ideas to you that you might not have even thought of.
Typically during a renovation you are going to want to do some moving of walls or raising some ceilings. You have to consider the extent of the work you want to do because then you will have to pull permits which typically includes fees to your local city. If you are going to salvage your appliances you will be saving there but people usually want new items with a new space. Then you must consider the way you use your kitchen, meaning is it a heavy traffic area? This will help determine what kind of slab you should purchase for your kitchen. If you have children marble might not work for you but granite and quartz will. There are so many beautiful options and directions to go in with different price points ranging anywhere from $1,000-5,000/ slab.
Another cost to factor in is the millworker and fabrication of your cabinetry. Do you want something custom or are you okay with going in a more standard direction? Both work just fine, it just depends on your preferences. These factors also help add to the value of your home as well. The more you want to spend the more you will benefit from it however that doesn’t mean that making some changes doesn’t help. It is ultimately what works for you and a designer will also help you stay within your budget.
We just wanted to touch base on the major things that come to mind when renovating a kitchen. Where there is a designer there’s a way! We always want you to feel free to contact us to get more information.
