The Kitchen Remodel Is Done

Here is  nice picture of the completed kitchen remodel. If you compare this image with the image of the original kitchen and dining room area from the first article in this series, you can really get a good idea of the scope of this project and just how far this kitchen and dining room area has come.

The beautiful cherry cabinets were custom built by Heartwood Cabinets, located Mendon Massachusetts. Instead of going with typical, standard cherry cabinets like those from a box store such as Home Depot, this customer decided to spend the money and put some truly gorgeous custom cherry cabinets in their new kitchen complimented by stunning granite countertops. Did it cost more to go with the custom cabinets and granite countertops as opposed to standard or semi-custom cabinets with a laminate countertop? Of course it did. Quite a bit more in fact. Was it worth it? Absolutely.

What some people don’t realize is that certain rooms of your house, when remodeled, will return the majority of your investment in terms of added equity in the house. That is almost always the case with a kitchen remodel or a bathroom remodel. In general when you remodel your kitchen you can expect a 75% to 90% return on your investment. That’s not a bad return at all considering you’re getting the kitchen of your dreams!
