DIY Kitchen Projects to Save you Money
The kitchen is the heart of your home. Everyone wants their kitchen to look amazing, especially with the holiday seasons coming up. The biggest downside to updating or remodeling your kitchen is cost. On average our customers spend around 30k on a kitchen remodel, which is a pretty good amount of money. However, there is a way to update your kitchen without dumping 30k into it.
Kitchen Cabinets
Buying new kitchen cabinets is one of the most expensive part of a kitchen remodel. Our customers usually spend around 6-10k on them. A cheaper and more affordable option is too sand and refinish them yourself. All you need is some sanding equipment, paint and finish. All this will cost you is around a couple hundred dollars to complete. The only downside is the time it takes to actually make the cabinets look good. Watch How Here.
