Hawaii Home Remodeling & Home Improvements



Hawaii Kitchen remodeling and home improvement


Home improvements can greatly benefit your home resale value, as well as your comfort and lifestyle, when done properly. When something goes wrong, however, the consequences can be devastating at worst and costly at best. Here are a few points to consider when making the decision to remodel your home:

Don't go overboard

Sometimes the excitement of a remodel may push homeowners into a shopping frenzy. The kitchen is the most important part of the home, and also typically the most time, cost, and labor intensive part of a remodel. Focus on what is most important, and talk to your designer about the things you would like to do and be realistic with your expectations. Sometimes, homeowners will continue to "add on" little projects for tradesmen and carpenters during construction, without realizing the overall impact additions may have to the cost of a remodel in Hawaii.

Choosing cheap or low quality, inexpensive cabinets

Cabinets will consume 20-50% of your budget, and are really the foundation of a kitchen remodel. Purchase the best quality you can afford, and talk to your designer about different pricing options if the cabinetry you choose falls outside of your budget range. Many times, your designer can make suggestions, adjustments to the overall scope, or find alternative door styles or finishes to find some flexibility to fit within your overall budget. There are all types of kitchen cabinets available in Honolulu, and your kitchen designer can be a valuable resource in choosing the best cabinetry to suit your budget and your climate.

Hiring the right people for the right job

Remodeling your kitchen is not something an amateur or DIY er should take upon themselves, especially in Hawaii where home values are incredibly high. Also as important is hiring the right people for the right job. Tradesmen such as electricians, plumbers, carpenters, etc. are trained, insured, and (if applicable) licensed in the state of Hawaii in their chosen field after meeting apprenticing requirements and mandated testing.

Susan Palmer Designs is based in Honolulu on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, but also does kitchen and bath remodeling design on outer islands including Maui, Kauai, Lanai, and the big island of Hawaii.
