Why Do You Need A Kitchen Renovation?
Most homeowners do not realise how important kitchen design is. If you’re still wondering whether a kitchen renovation or a brand new kitchen would be worth the splurge or not, here are some reasons that should convince you.
1. Add Functionality
A makeover is long overdue if your small counter’s design limits your ability to multitask in the kitchen!
Appliances, counters, floorboards - all wear out after a point. Only a professional renovation project can provide you with a chance to upgrade these antique parts of the kitchen, bathroom and other areas of the house.
2. Match Your Aesthetic
A beautiful kitchen is where functionality means style. People spend hours shuffling the sofas and tables of the living room and matching the sheets and pillows in the bedroom. Then why not flaunt your personality with a neon kitchen counter, modern, contemporary lighting, or a unique design theme?
The kitchen does not have to look plain and boring when it can look beautiful and practical simultaneously. When renovating a kitchen, bathroom or any other space, the project can be done the way you want.
3. Meet Your Needs
Depending on your family’s size and lifestyle variation, you may have specific needs for storage, seating, lighting, designs, etc.
For instance, large families require a big refrigerator, so your kitchen should provide enough space to fit one. Similarly, if you often invite guests for lunch and dinner, your kitchen should be equipped with fancy lights, a larger dining table and some feature objects.
4. Decrease in Energy Consumption
While technology has made our lives much easier, it often results in wastage which harms the environment. Your kitchen can be ‘smart’ and ‘green’ if the renovation project customises it right.
The project will allow you to get rid of those bulky, energy-depleting appliances from the kitchen. Ultimately, a kitchen or bathroom renovation is an investment, so it is best to make choices that will facilitate savings in the long run.
5. Increase Resale Value
If you’re planning to move and want to sell the house, you can renovate the kitchens and bathrooms to add on resale costs. Of course, factors like the amount you’ve spent on renovations, the buyer’s needs, etc., also determine the resale value. Eventually, a buyer would be willing to pay 90% more for a renovated kitchen, bathroom, or other space than one that requires a lot of work.
Kitchen Renovation Services in Sydney
The first step is to visit the website of Sydney’s desired renovation service company, such as us, at SB Building Maintenance & Joinery. You can either get in touch with the customer service team or get a free quote for the design and materials you want and your available budget.
In Sydney, kitchen renovation providers start by sending an expert to understand your needs and visualise the practicality of your demands. If you’re lucky, they may even advise you to retain some kitchen parts to keep costs down and stay within your budget.
After that, you can decide on a suitable date and time to start the renovation. Since it is a time-consuming job, be prepared to stay with relatives or eat take-out meals for a few months. Depending on the new kitchen design and work schedule, kitchen renovations can take anywhere between 2 and 8 weeks to complete in Sydney.
Kitchen And Bathroom Renovation Process
While our team of experts handles the renovations in the kitchen or bathroom, you can do your bit by understanding the procedure. Here’s what happens behind the scenes to renovate a custom kitchen...
1. Let It Go
Old habits die hard, but that wallpaper from 1950 HAS to go! It is essential to discard the old walls and flooring material to achieve a new and modern kitchen. While you may take this task into your own hands to meet the budget, we always believe in letting the experts do what they’re best at, even more so when the kitchen is involved.
2. Framing And Plumbing
This step involves changing the framework of the walls and relocating plumbing fixtures to expand or change the kitchen area. While you may think that the existing design and make of the kitchen plumbing are reasonable, you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you see the upgrades.
3. Satisfying Building Codes
A professional contractor in Sydney is usually well-versed with the building code and works on your kitchen accordingly. If not, you may have to make some changes to follow your city’s construction rules and regulations.
4. Prep And Prime The Walls
After passing the professional inspection in Sydney, our team will complete the drywall construction and apply a coat of primer. It acts as a protective layer against scratches, which may happen in the following steps of the project.
5. Adding Doors And Windows
For new doors and windows for your kitchen, we install and insulate them properly to cut down on potential cooling and heating costs. Alternatively, you can skip this step by cleaning or repairing the old ones.
6. Installation Of Cabinets And Fixtures
This is when you can install new cabinets, plumbing fixtures and countertops. You can discuss and take professional advice during this step to avoid plumbing issues in the future. Your new kitchen is finally coming together!
7. Placing Appliances
Any installation work is incomplete without some new appliances that will enhance functionality in the kitchen.
8. Time To Be Floored!
The last step of renovation in kitchens and bathrooms is flooring. Choose a neutral shade of wood plank or some neon ceramic flooring - let your new kitchen be the talk of the town!
Cost Of Kitchen Renovation In Sydney
In Sydney, kitchen renovations usually cost around $20,000-$40,000. The range can fluctuate in the case of basic and luxury kitchens and bathrooms. While renovations in small, budget kitchens may start at $10,000, luxury kitchens in Sydney can cost beyond $100,000.
