The cost to remodel a bathroom or a kitchen depends on a variety of factors. Most kitchen/bathroom remodeling costs fall into three categories: 1) small; 2) midrange; and 3) upscale. The cost can vary greatly depending on the size of your room, what products you select and labor costs in your area.

When deciding on remodeling your bathroom or kitchen, here are few factors that you need to consider:

• Room Size: the size of your bathroom or kitchen
• Project Size: are you remodeling the entire room or just part of it
• Demolition: will your project require demolition
• Plumbing: will your project require plumbing work
• Electrical: will your project require electrical work
• Cabinets: are you selecting stock, semi-custom or custom cabinets
• Paneling: will any custom paneling be done
• Finish: will you want stained or painted cabinetry
• Countertop: how large and what type of stone will you want
• Floor: will you select tiles or wood
• Appliances: will you decide on a standard, custom-built-in or high-end products

According to a number of sources, kitchen remodeling returns the highest return on investment. However, you should be aware that rarely it returns more than what you invest. It also depends on the location and type of project that you undertake, whether it is a minor or major remodeling project and whether it is a midrange or upscale remodeling project.

The best resource that provides return on investment information for a variety of projects based on location is by Cost vs. Value Report by Remodeling, published each year. Search it based on your location and the type of remodeling project for more information. Some of the remodeling projects included in the report are bathroom, kitchen, addition, master-suite, garage, deck, backyard, roofing and window replacement return on investment information.

You want to have an idea of how big of a remodeling project you want to undertake. Your budgeting constraints should be communicated from the beginning of the project in order to meet your expectations. Remodeling projects can range from anywhere between a couple thousands to over $100,000. It is important to make sure you are on the same page with your remodeling service provider.

It is important to go over what you would like to remodel and how much money you are willing to spend. Draw a line on what your budget can’t cross.

Plan for the unexpected expenses that sometimes occur during any project like discovering mold under old tiles; needing to bring your home up to current code; removing asbestos; and other unexpected expenses.

Consider certain expenses that may not have anything to do with the remodeling itself, but rather consist of living adaptation expenses such as higher utility bills; boarding pets during the remodeling process; needing to move out during major remodeling work or needing to dine out when the kitchen is off-limits.

Bathroom or kitchen remodeling can take as little as couple of weeks, to an average of 3-4 weeks to even couple of months, depending on the size of your project.

Depending on whether the cabinets are stock or custom cabinetry that require special order or built. It may take as little as few weeks to few months to have your cabinets delivered.

The installation of cabinets in the kitchen or bathroom depends on the size of your room. It may take from 2 to 6 weeks to install your cabinetry depending on the size of your project.

Depending on the current work load and schedule. Sometimes we can start within couple of weeks if we have availability in our schedule. Starting within a month or two is a more likely scenario, as most clients need time to finalize their drawings and make products and appliances selection.

Remove all contents from your existing cabinets and drawers, but do not uninstall anything. Clear off the countertops and remove all antiques, breakables, and valuables from the construction area.

Make arrangements for your pets during the remodeling process.

If you are remodeling your kitchen, which can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a month, you have to consider and make arrangements on how and where your family will eat meals. You should consider whether you can live without access to the kitchen during that time.

If you are changing your fridge and freezer, consider getting all your food cleared before the remodeling process and you should stock up on non-perishables so that there are options for you and your family.

Can you stay with a family during that time?

Can you move to a temporary place, go out of town, or eat out more?

Do you have a basement or another safely ventilated area where you can set-up as a temporary kitchen? Can you rely on small appliances such as InstaPots, Air-fryer, microwave, to get your family fed?

In order to avoid frustration, it is important to plan ahead.

In order to get precise measurements, we will take measurements and check the space during our on-site visit. These measurements will be used to provide an accurate estimate and quote.

Make sure that if you are also working with a designer, she/he does the same so that the appliances or products that you purchase will fit the newly remodeled space.

New Frontier Living provides labor warranty for 1 year after each service that is covered.
