There are many misconceptions people have when it comes to remodeling, so we are here to reassure you by debunking some common kitchen remodeling myths.
Myth #1: Your kitchen remodel should reflect current trends.
Truth: We rarely encourage our clients to remodel according to the current trends– especially if the trends aren’t something they are crazy about. The truth is that for some people remodeling a kitchen is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so it is important to choose the materials that you will love for many years to come.
Myth #2: Remodeling a kitchen is too expensive.
Truth: You have tremendous control over what your kitchen remodel will cost. Because you pick the materials used in your remodel, you have the flexibility to decide what you like and what materials will fit your budget.
Myth #3: Buying cheap materials will save you money.
Truth: Yes, it is true that buying cheap materials will save you money in the short term, but long-term, they could end up costing you more money to fix or replace. It’s like the adage “You get what you pay for.” It is important to consider the quality and durability of the materials you select.

Truth: Kitchen remodels are a much larger job than portrayed on television. We strongly encourage consumers to hire an experienced, reputable, licensed contractor that specializes in kitchen remodeling.
