The National Kitchen and Bath Association knows that upgrading your kitchen and bath can add considerable value to your home. It can also cost you a pretty penny to get the rooms you desire. For this reason, it’s best to follow these simple budgeting tips that will help ensure your remodeling projects generate a positive return when you sell your home:
- Determine how much you want to spend. Set this as your bottom line. It’s good to do this first as it will help you pick out materials and features later.
- Break your costs down to the smallest level. Add up the price of the tile, fixtures, lighting, and appliances. Don’t forget to add labor costs, permits, etc. into your calculations.
- Expect the unexpected. Always “pad” your budget by about 20 percent to account for things that might come up during your remodeling.
- Work closely with your contractors. Make sure they’re staying on top of their work and their expenditures.
