While it depends on your exact goals, a kitchen renovation is definitely worth it for many. Whether homeowners are interested in putting their house on the market within the next few years or they want to make improvements to their forever home, a kitchen remodel continues to be one of the best home renovation projects that offers a strong return on investment.

According to a study by Zillow, the average ROI for a kitchen remodel is between 73.4 and 83.8%. Not to mention, a well-designed, functional kitchen can significantly influence a prospective homebuyer’s decision if and when you decide to put your home on the market.

Is remodeling small kitchens possible?

How long does kitchen remodeling take?

It can be difficult to put an exact timeframe on the completion of a kitchen remodeling project, as there are various factors that play a role in determining how long the project takes. Typically, once all the materials are ready and the space is properly prepared, the installation process can usually be completed in a few weeks. For a more accurate kitchen renovation timeline, consider scheduling a consultation with our Chicago kitchen remodeling contractors.

What features should I include in my kitchen remodel?

From a functional standpoint, there are many features worth investing in. New kitchen cabinetry is one of the most significant features. They increase the storage and functionality of your kitchen. Additionally, if you want to increase the value of the space and get more enjoyment out of your time spent in the kitchen, it’s also worth it to invest in new kitchen countertops and flooring. In order to get the most out of your investment, opt for more modern, stylish, and sleek materials and features. Our team of kitchen designers can help you make all the right choices when it comes to mapping out your project.

Should kitchen and bath remodeling be done at the same time?

Kitchen and bath remodeling are two home renovation projects that can add a lot of value to your home. If the budget allows, many homeowners choose to tackle the two areas at once. Renovating your kitchen and bathroom will breathe new life into your home, plus it allows you to update and modernize your home. Not to mention, when done at the same time, it saves time and is easier to create harmony between your kitchen and bath. At Glenbrook Remodeling, we specialize in both kitchen and bathroom remodeling. If you are interested in a full remodel, schedule a consultation to learn how our expert kitchen and bath designers, project managers, and builders can help tackle the project you have in mind.

How much does bathroom remodeling cost?

Showers, tubs, toilets, and wall fixtures — there are a wide range of beautiful, high-quality bath products on the market, and the perfect combination could transform your once ordinary bathroom into the bathroom of your dreams. The cost of a bathroom remodeling project, however, is dependent on the scope of the work and the materials that are being installed. We have put together a downloadable pricing guide to help with this. Get it here.

Is bathroom remodeling worth it?

Whether you plan to sell your home in a few years or want to make upgrades to your forever home, a bathroom remodel is certainly worth it. Whether future plans involve selling your home or not, you’ll be using your bathroom every day. It’s worth transforming it into a space that makes it easier to get ready in the morning and more enjoyable to unwind at the end of the day.

According to Zillow data, bathroom remodels yield the biggest returns in terms of boosting your home’s resale value.

How long does bathroom remodeling take?

It can be difficult to provide an exact timeframe of when your bathroom remodeling project will be complete, as there are many different factors involved. For instance, the details of your bathroom design and the availability of the materials and fixtures that you choose for your space will determine how long your project will take.

Most bathroom remodeling projects involve a lot of construction, such as removing the tub and/or shower as well as replacing the vanity, toilet, and flooring — all of which can take some time. But when you partner with our bathroom remodeling contractors, we’ll work as efficiently as possible. Contact our team to schedule a consultation if you would like to receive a more accurate time frame for your bathroom remodel.

What does a complete bathroom remodel cost?

While each project varies to some extent, complete bathroom remodeling projects typically begin with upgrading your bathtub, shower, and toilet and can extend into replacing vanities, flooring, light fixtures, and other details to bring an overall element of harmony and relaxation. For some homeowners, a full bathroom remodeling is the most effective way to update an outdated design and space. For other homeowners, complete remodels enhance the comfort of the space. Whatever your goals, our bathroom remodelers can handle it.

The planning and design phase of your project is made easy, as we have all the materials you need at our showroom.

What features should I include in my bathroom remodel?

A remodeled bathroom adds value to your home, updates its style, and makes it better adapted to your current needs. If you want to completely transform the look and feel of your bathroom, consider making upgrades to the bathtub, shower, toilet, vanity, flooring, and light fixtures. Making these upgrades will improve the functionality, storage, and comfort of your bathroom.

Should kitchen and bath remodeling be done at the same time?

Both bathroom and kitchen remodeling are among the top home renovation projects that can increase the value to your home. To save time and to avoid the need to work with more than one remodeling company, homeowners often choose to tackle the two projects at once. Remodeling your bathroom and kitchen at the same time may seem like a lot, but it is a great way to create harmony between these widely-used spaces.
