According to bankrate.com, homeowners generally spend between $12,594 and $33,118, with an average of a little over $21,000. However, these numbers are not set in stone, and you certainly don't want to make any costly mistakes that would increase your overall expenses.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Not planning ahead for your major appliances – If you’re doing a complete kitchen overhaul, make sure you know what sizes your major appliances – sink, stove, oven, refrigerator – need to be. This is vital if you’re switching up your layout or buying new kitchen cabinets. Why is this so important: If your current appliances won’t fit in your new kitchen design (if your sink or stove are too big or too small), then you’re forced to either buy new appliances or start over from scratch. Both options carry a substantial price. How to avoid it: Measure your appliances before you start remodeling. Decide whether you want to keep them or if you’re willing to buy new ones, and then clearly communicate your decision to your contractor.
Picking style over function - It’s perfectly fine to design with a certain style in mind. In fact, you should, for both resale value and your own satisfaction. But perhaps that stainless steel smart oven you are coveting may not necessarily work as efficiently as you thought in your kitchen. It’s easy to get caught up in aesthetics and forget the fact that your kitchen is also a work zone. If your workspace isn’t efficient, cooking can become a miserable process, and you’ll have to spend even more money to get a functional kitchen design. How to avoid it: According to angieslist.com, design your kitchen with function in mind. Consider hiring a planner or remodeler to help you map out the design and workflow before construction begins. Is your sink in the right spot? How about your refrigerator? Do you have enough countertop space? Do you need more storage space for your dishes? Would cabinet drawers be better than cabinet doors? These are questions you need to ask yourself first, not whether you want a traditional or contemporary kitchen design. Functional design hinges on the way you use your kitchen.
Busting Your Budget – Your contractor can advise you on what do about almost any aspect of your kitchen remodel; though nobody but you can work out your budget. You’ll need to assess your finances, home value, local real estate prices, what the overall goal is for your kitchen remodel, what your needs versus wants are, etc. A comfortable budget needs to be established at the very beginning during the planning phase of your project. It does your home no justice to go through the planning and design phase of your kitchen remodel project, only to then determine that the funds to support your vision are not available. Be sure your budget includes a way to pay for contingencies. You may plan to spend all your savings on the remodeling, and have a credit card for backup. That’s fine as long as there is credit available. Otherwise, you will have to plan to set aside some money for “just in case” situations. In any remodeling project, there are unknowns that can arise once a wall is opened up or material is removed. The average rule of thumb is to set aside 10% of the total cost of your renovation as a precautionary safety measure.
