A
modern kitchen serves as an ideal hub for the home.
Whereas kitchens were once
private places solely for food preparation and dishwashing, they are now often
well lit, open spaces used for everything from entertaining to surfing the
net. While nearly everyone would like an up-to-date, multi-purpose kitchen,
many are overwhelmed by the prospect of major remodeling.
While
nearly everyone would like an up-to-date, multi-purpose kitchen, many are overwhelmed
by the prospect of major remodeling. Consequently, many homeowners settle for
a simple refurbishing that does little to improve the way the room functions.
If you are considering a minor upgrade of your kitchen, take time to ponder
the possibilities. You may be better off redoing your kitchen entirely, even
if it means waiting another year.

Openness
and Size
As
kitchens have taken on larger roles, they have grown in size as well. Nothing
more reliably dates a home than the size of its kitchen. Even traditional food
preparation tasks involve a range of equipment we once never imagined. From
microwaves to food processors to bread makers, many countertops have become
so crowded that there's no place to put a cutting board! To create an open,
versatile, modern kitchen, you almost always have to enlarge the space.
Finding
extra space for that bigger kitchen isn't always as difficult as you might
guess. Often nearby hallways and closets can be eliminated or relocated to
make room. In many homes, combining the dining room and kitchen creates the
space you need. If necessary, a small addition to the home can accommodate
your new kitchen.

Here
is an answer to the most common question about Kitchen Remodeling:
Q:
At a giant home center store near my home, they have all kinds of kitchens
on display. Can't I just order one and have them install it?
A:
Home center stores sell a great quantity of cabinets, countertops, flooring
and other kitchen components. Typically, their prices on such items are very
competitive. Their shortcomings generally come in two areas. First, they often
provide very limited design assistance. There are exceptions, but beware of
counterpersons who call themselves designers simply because they've had three
hours of training on a computer design program. A poorly designed kitchen can
be a nightmare that you'll have to live with for a long, long time.
A second
problem with home centers is inadequate quality control with installation.
Who's actually doing the work and what is their track record? Usually it's
one of several subcontractors that may vary greatly in quality. While the
store will usually stand behind the work, you don't want to spend two years
trying to get installation problems resolved. In summary, you need to be
just as careful about contracting with a home center as you'd be contracting
with any other kind of service firm. AW Hobor can eliminate these problems with
their In-House Design Specialists and Professional Contractors. Give us a call
