3 Section Three: Budget Maximum value is always the goal when it comes to projects. A budget will help us provide the highest value possible. Often deciding what to spend can be both confusing and difficult. This section will help you breakdown each part of the project without exceeding your limit. Real estate guidelines suggest that a kitchen remodel should not exceed 15% of the home's value. More than 15% and you may lose money at resale. However, a kitchen remodel may offer intangible benefits, such as the joy of cooking in a well prepared space. You must also consider how long you are likely to stay in your home when considering a budget. Sample Budget: Home Value $300,000 Maximum Budget $45,000 Budget Amount Average Cabinets $15,750 35% Countertops $6,750 15% Appliances $7,200 16% Flooring $3,150 7% Fixtures and Fittings $3,150 7% Labor/Installation $9,000 20% Actual Budget: Home Value Maximum Budget Total $45, % Budget Amount Average Cabinets 35% Countertops 15% Appliances 16% Flooring 7% Fixtures and Fittings 7% Labor/Installation 20% Total 100%

Modern manufacturing techniques have allowed the advent of semi-custom cabinets and still leverage economies of scale.

Often custom manufacturers can offer the highest quality product at a very competitive price.

5 Section Five: Countertops Countertops are considered the jewel of the kitchen. Today there is a vast selection of materials to choose from for your project. Like cabinetry, there is a countertop for every budget. Laminate- Laminate countertops are constructed with a thin sheet of plastic resin covering a plywood or particleboard base. Advancements in printing technology and edge options allow laminate to mimic many natural materials.

Durable and long lasting Classic material Heat resistant Cons: Naturally porous (needs to be sealed) Softer stones can chip or dent Soapstone- Another natural material used for countertops, soapstone has attributes that make it an appealing option.
