Kitchen Remodeling

Minor kitchen remodels are most attractive to investors in San Diego, since they have the greatest return on their investment in a short amount of time. After all, an investor’s goal is to make it appealing to others, not themselves. Homeowners, however, must add personal value to the equation since they will be living in the remodeled space.

​

Market Value
The 20-point difference between minor kitchen remodels, and major kitchen remodels may seem shocking at first, but that is typical across the board for remodeling and design projects. A major remodel of any kind almost always has a 10-20% lower return on investment than a minor remodel. This may seem counterintuitive at first, but there is a cap to market value. Major remodels often exceed this market value cap, hence the lower return on investment. But, lucky for San Diego residents, major kitchen remodels in this area still recoup a very good ROI.

​

Personal Value​
Homeowners may be tempted to opt for a minor kitchen remodel based on the difference in ROI alone, but that would be a mistake. It is important for homeowners also to consider the personal value the remodeled spaced will add to their family. This is especially true of a kitchen remodel and design, which is well-known as the heart of the home. A major kitchen remodel that gives you the kitchen of your dreams can add lifestyle value that far exceeds the 10-20% loss in ROI.

What is the Typical Cost of Kitchen Renovations
Despite what you might expect, the job cost of kitchen remodels in San Diego isn’t much higher than the national average. The average San Diego kitchen remodel for minor projects costs approximately $10,950. Major kitchen remodels vary greatly from project to project, ranging from $25,000 to $150,000 depending on the scope of the project. But ultimately, it comes down to budget.

​The selection of cabinet design should also be focused on the cabinet hardware as well. It plays a role in the overall aesthetic form and function of your kitchen. Looking at all these different aspects, hiring a professional kitchen design and remodeling contractor company is crucial and that is the point where we step up in the game. Homeowners love Edison Home Improvement and all we offer during the kitchen remodeling and design process.

Budget for Renovations
At Edison Home Improvement, we believe your budget should determine the cost of your kitchen remodel, not the other way around. Even if you have a below-average budget, we can still help you make valuable improvements to your kitchen. We can even tackle your kitchen remodel in phases. For instance, phase one can be changing the flooring; phase two can be upgrading the cabinets; and so on.

But, if you are going to remodel in phases, you need to have an overall plan from start to finish to avoid double-paying for improvements. For example, if you change the flooring in phase one but then change the floor plan of the cabinets in phase two, you may expose floor space that was originally covered by the old cabinets. You don’t want to have to patch your flooring or, heaven forbid, be unable to get more of the same flooring. Therefore, you need to know step-by-step what you are going to do in each phase and how it may affect or be affected by other phases. Edison Home Improvement can help you make that plan.

In the long run, it is cheaper to complete the entire renovation all at once. Additional phases require additional masking materials, demo waste removal, travel expenses, and so on. But it is nice to know you have options. We want you to know that Edison Home Improvement works with you to achieve your dream kitchen.
