Kitchen and Bathroom Remodels, Do It With a Budget!

By
Real Estate Agent with Dick Betts National Speaker SL3537832

Buyers when shopping for a home are willing to overlook certain things in a home like paint, sometimes flooring but they become concerned when looking at out of date kitchens and bathrooms.  Everything you read about remodeling the kitchen and bathroom are number one for return on investment when it comes time to sell.  But many of us consider our current home our last home (frog house) so why not do it now!  It is obvious many Villagers over improve their homes, but why not?  You want to enjoy your home while you can, you want something and can afford to do it, go for it!

You have options when it comes to getting the kitchen or bathroom you want, you can go turnkey and hire a company to do it OR take the lead yourself, shop, get quotes and referrals.  Few of my clients have gone to Floor & Décor and found clearance sale of tile, bought it then hire an installer.  Have good sturdy kitchen cabinets which most cabinets in The Villages have, paint them.  New countertops, no problem, hire somebody to remove old countertops then go to the granite quartz yard and talk to them.  Do things yourself by shopping and hiring people and maybe save 30% of the cost of remodeling.  You can do it, need help let me know!

Good morning Dick. Even those who plan on going turnkey should shop and do research before selecting a contractor. Knowledge is power and research can help set a budget. Enjoy your day.

Dick Betts we redid our main bathroom three years ago.  I did the ceiling, sheetrock, tapping, trim, and painting, but had a professional plumber come in to do all the plumbing work.

When most buyers see that a renovation is needed, it usually turns them off, but buyers who can see how to renovate affordably always enjoy the challenge!

Expert guidance. Exceptional results.

That is such a smart, practical reminder that you absolutely can enjoy a beautiful, updated home without utterly blowing the budget, Dick Betts! It's truly humbling how much money you can save just by taking the lead yourself to shop for clearance materials and hire installers directly. Thanks for encouraging homeowners to go for that kitchen or bathroom remodel now, and to do it the savvy way!
