The kitchen may be the heart of the home but replacing it is comparable – at least in terms of cost – to swapping out the real thing. In fact, when you get the initial estimate, which averages $53,000, your heart may stop. So what happens to the family with a 4-digit budget in a 5-digit world? Let’s have a look at how Core Home Improvement did three different kitchen renovations, each for under $10k.
1. The $4,400 Kitchen Renovation Package
- Design Session
- Stain Cabinets
- New Hardware
- Fresh Paint
We start by having our kitchen designer visit your home to help you choose the right stain, hardware, and paint. Not only do these new elements need to fit together, but they must also flow with your existing appliances, flooring, fixtures, and adjoining rooms.
Before Restoration
bring plenty of samples for you to choose from, and we’ll order everything you need.
Once the design is finalized, we’ll sand your cabinets. This process removes the layers of grease, dirt, and dust that naturally build-up over time. Sanding also prepares thewood to receive new stain. Then we stain your cabinets. Our technicians use a special process to apply the stain and ensure an even coat is applied. When the staining is completed, we’ll prop open the doors so the stain can dry quickly.
Once the stain is dry, we apply a finish coat of polyurethane. This important step protects the wood and gives your cabinets a new shine and vitality. Last but not least, we install the new hardware and paint your kitchen. You won’t believe the difference and neither will your family and friends.
2. The $7,300 Kitchen Renovation Package
- Design Session
- Stain Cabinets
- New Hardware
- Fresh Paint
- Granite Countertops
After Restoration
This package includes everything in Package 1 plus adds new granite countertops. Our designer will help you choose from over 300 kinds of granite to find the one that best fits your new kitchen design. We’ll seal your granite and provide you with a simple care guide so you can get many years of enjoyment out of your new granite countertops.
3. The $9,900 Kitchen Renovation
- Design Session
- Stain Cabinets
- New Hardware
- Fresh Paint
- Granite Countertops
- Tile Floor
This package includes everything in Package 1 and Package 2, plus adds a new tile floor. Our designer will help you choose a great tile and grout, as well as the right size and pattern for your kitchen. We’ll demolish your existing floor down to the plywood subfloor, and make minor repairs as needed. Then we’ll install a new subfloor, tile, and grout. Finally, we’ll seal the grout to protect it from stains.
These packages are priced to work in most Northern Virginia kitchens, and smaller kitchens may cost a little less and larger kitchens may cost a little more. To find out what we can do for your kitchen, give us a call for a free estimate.
