Is your kitchen in need of a refresh, but you don’t have the cash to give it the look of your dreams? At Construction Précellence, we’re masters in the art of revamping this centerpiece of the home. Here are 5 tips for creating your dream kitchen without breaking the bank.

 

  • Set a budget (and stick to it!)

A common mistake homeowners make is to embark on a renovation project without drawing up a budget. When the project is finished, they realize – to their dismay – that the bills added up to a much higher amount than they had imagined. To avoid unpleasant surprises, opt for a planning and design service. That way, you’ll get your dream kitchen, without having to pay more.

  • Compromise on choice of materials

Choose products that mimic the characteristics of luxury materials – they won’t drain your wallet! At Construction Précellence, our kitchen designers have more than one trick up their sleeves to save you money: ask them for advice!

  • Participate in work that matches your skills

If you’re good with your hands, you can contribute to the renovation by doing a few light jobs like painting, and save on labor. Be sure to discuss your tasks with the contractor in advance.

  • Consider cabinet resurfacing

Changing all the cabinets in a kitchen can cost tens of thousands of dollars. An increasingly popular solution is resurfacing, which involves modifying doors and handles while preserving the original cabinetry. Your visitors won’t even notice!

  • Keeping your electrics… with a little makeover

Did you know that you can “disguise” your appliances to give them a new lease of life? This solution is recommended for appliances that still work very well, but whose appearance leaves something to be desired. You could make your old fridge the star of your kitchen by covering it with funky wallpaper or slate-effect paint, for example!
