Mini Kitchen Facelift

Perhaps you're here reading this because you're thinking about updating your kitchen, and you're wondering if a kitchen refresh will do, or if you should consider a kitchen remodel.  These days, more and more people spend time at home, making kitchen updates a wise choice.  

​

It's no secret that your kitchen is the heart of your house.  The kitchen can be one of the most important factors in the sale of your home.  If you have a good, well-appointed kitchen, you're bound to receive multiple offers, while if you have a bad, outdated kitchen, you're likely to hear crickets and drum your fingers on your old laminate or worse, white-tile countertops (please remove them as soon as possible).  The question is, what should a homeowner do? 

​

In what ways does a mini kitchen facelift differ from a major renovation?

An affordable alternative to a full kitchen remodel is to do a mini kitchen facelift.  In this case, you don't have to rip everything out (including your hair;) you just make cosmetic changes to your kitchen.  Kitchen facelifts come in different levels, and the cost depends on how far you go.

 

How does a mini kitchen facelift work and what is included?

A mini kitchen facelift can include various levels of updates.  You can mix up these levels and make any combination of changes. The important thing is to decide what's right for your home and your budget.
