Finally, you’ve found the home of your
dreams in Bernardsville, New Jersey.
Now you want to create a living space
that will not only bring enjoyment to
the family, but also give you a return
on your investment. One definite way
to breathe new life into your home is
by remodeling the kitchen. The price
on a complete kitchen renovation in
Bernardsville, NJ can vary greatly
depending on your taste, the design
and the materials you choose.
On average, a complete kitchen reno-
vation–including labor and installa-
tion–may range from as low as
$45,000 up to $80,000 with no major
architectural changes or additional
rooms effected by the kitchen remod-
el. A big mistake that a lot of home-
owners make is that they go out and
get bids on just cabinetry and appli-
ances without looking at all of the
costs of a complete renovation, includ-
ing labor and installation. Also, your
choice of countertops, backsplash tile,
plumbing fixtures, cabinet hardware,
lighting, flooring and many other
design elements will affect the price of
renovation. Here are some other things
you’ll need to consider when planning
a kitchen renovation and setting a
budget:
•
What is my style and how can my
kitchen reflect that?
•
Does it make sense to move walls or
windows?
•
Is there a better way to configure my
kitchen to maximize the space?
•
What is my new lighting plan?
•
Do I need to move or add a sink or
make other plumbing changes?
•
Should I invest in high end appliances?
•
Will other adjoining/effected rooms
need updating too?
The number of decisions that need to
be made and options available nowa-
days can make any homeowner feel
overwhelmed. It is more important
than ever to have a good kitchen
designer that you can trust
to help you create a great
kitchen layout, make good
decisions and find the right
materials for your home.
Remember, it’s not what
you spend but how you’re
spending it! The key is to
maximize your budget. At
TrueLeaf it is our goal to
help our clients get the
most for their money
because we really believe
that good design does not
have to be expensive. We
offer a variety of cabinetry
options, from semi-custom to hand-
crafted works of art. We will help you
determine what kind of cabinetry you
need based on your budget, style and
design. When you work with TrueLeaf
Kitchens, we can assure you that your
renovated kitchen will be stylish and
one-of-a-kind—designed
with your lifestyle and
budget in mind.
Renovating your kitchen
can actually be a great
experience if you work
