One of the most common and popular home remodeling projects is updating kitchens to today’s contemporary standards. It is also a remodeling project with a high return on investment. According to CBS Money Watch, a kitchen facelift with new counters, lighting fixtures and kitchen appliances returns about 80 percent of the cost to homeowners. With the current depressed building market, this is an excellent time to dive into home remodeling projects with contractors hungry for work and excellent deals to be made on labor and materials. Upgrading your kitchen makes your home more enjoyable for you and your family now and will make it more appealing to buyers later when it’s time to sell. Real estate agents will tell you that the kitchen is a primary area of the home that can make or break a sale. A shabby, old and dated kitchen will too often cause potential buyers to move on regardless of how great the floor plan and overall condition of the house. Often all it takes to transform a dated kitchen is to replace old cabinet doors and hardware, add popular new stainless steel appliances and sink, and replace old laminate counter tops with granite or high-end synthetic stone counter tops. Another advantage of replacing old kitchen appliances in NJ with new Energy Star appliances is the money savings you will see immediately on your energy bills. One of the largest energy-eaters in your home is the refrigerator. Replacing an old 1980s refrigerator with a new Energy Star qualified refrigerator will save you over $100 a year in energy costs and even more on older models. Enjoy your kitchen more and see great returns on your investment in energy savings and increased home equity with a simple kitchen remodel.
