In a Kitchen Remodeling Project the Cabinets and Countertop Are The Two Most Expensive Items; What If You Could Save …

Indianapolis, Indiana (PRWEB) December 19, 2013

The most important parts of a kitchen remodel would be the cabinets and the countertops. This will determine the style of the new kitchen.

Before choosing a cabinet line, it is important to determine the budget. Sharing this budget information with the cabinet designer will help them show you the appropriate cabinet vendors for that budget and save time.

How would one determine this budget? Keep in mind that 90-98% of a kitchen remodeling project is recouped if the cost is relative to the home value. A guideline is to plan a kitchen budget at approximately 15% of the homes value. Of this budget, about half of the cost should be designated to the cabinetry and countertops.

Therefore, a general example for regular retail would be - if a home value is at $250,000, 15% of that value would be at $37,500 for a kitchen remodeling project that could be expected to be recouped into the home value. Fifty percent of that budget should be tagged for cabinets and countertops. This budgeting example would be different for a member of DirectBuy of Indianapolis because of the 20-50% savings off of regular retail sale pricing. DirectBuy members are able to do more projects or higher quality products with the same amount of budget.

For any budget, now is a great time to start planning a kitchen remodeling project. One can take advantage of the year end savings that most DirectBuy of Indianapolis vendors are offering. Items can be ordered before the holidays allowing for the project to start at the beginning of the new year.

DirectBuy of Indianapolis offers several services to make it easier to meet the 15% home value budget or to give a higher quality of cabinetry for the same amount of money for the kitchen remodeling project.

One of the most valuable services that DirectBuy of Indianapolis offers is their in house kitchen designer, Holly Denihan. Holly has been with DirectBuy of Indianapolis for over seven years, helping members with kitchen designing. She has over 2,000 kitchen designs in her portfolio.

During the first meeting with Holly, a member will bring either the room dimensions or blueprints, their appliance model numbers and their budget.

Holly will give guidance in the cabinet layouts, choosing the door styles, as well as going over finish options and accessories. She will also go over the options for the countertops. Holly will then create a layout of the kitchen in the 20/20 computer software and provide a dimensional look of the new kitchen.
