What is a Kitchen Face Lift?
I am getting requests for kitchen face lifts. Many of my clients are choosing to darken their cabinets, change hardware, update their appliances, change countertops and back splash. This could easily make the budget around $15,000 or higher. To gut a kitchen and reinstall all of the above will run $35,000 to over $100,000. It is clearly less expensive to have the face lift.
I am of the opinion that when my clients go to sell their homes they will get their money back from a kitchen face lift. With the market as competitive as it is, home buyers are optioning for the homes that have updated kitchens and are willing to pay a higher dollar for them.
I tell my perspective clients be aware. There are very few faux painters that can repaint kitchens cabinets and have them look nice after a year or two. They are not willing to take the time to strip and sand the cabinets back to the original surface. I am hooked up with painters that I personally over see toВ make sure that the prep work is done and completed correctly before the paint or stain is applied.
I have more to do now. Design Connection, Inc. is now on Facebook. I will continue to blog on my website for I think that is really important, but also catch us on Facebook for news, photos of projects, and other happenings.
