A kitchen is more than just a place to cook; it’s the heart of your home. Whether you’re looking to modernize your space, improve functionality, or increase your property value, a Denver kitchen renovation can be a game-changer. This is especially true if you have a galley kitchen or a kitchen with limited space.
A kitchen remodel is one of the most impactful home improvement projects you can undertake. Here are some reasons why homeowners especially in Denver, Colorado, are opting for kitchen renovations:
A successful kitchen remodel involves multiple services, each playing a crucial role in bringing your vision to life. Here’s a basic breakdown of a Denver kitchen remodel materials list:
Collaboration to create a layout that maximizes your space, ensures proper clearances, and that you will enjoy for many years to come.
When necessary or desired, removing old cabinets, countertops, flooring and sometimes even non-load bearing walls, is the first step in preparing for the new design. Upgrading or relocating plumbing and electrical systems may necessary to accommodate your new appliances and fixtures.
You will decide on which cabinets are best for your design and budget, including custom, semi-custom, or stock cabinets, along with a beautiful countertop of quartz or granite. To get started with a preview of cabinets and cabinet trim available, download our free cabinet master list.
Choose from materials like tile, thick laminate or luxury vinyl for a water-resistant finish. This may also be time to consider whether you want a full flush look to your home with kitchen flooring running seamlessly into the rest of the home, as the cost will be considerably lower to do all this at the same time, and ensure consistency of material dye lots.
There are many different styles of pendant lights and over the sink lights for you to choose from. You may also want to add some canned lighting or simply keep what is existing but change out the fixture for a touch of elegance. Other options include your sink tub style and sink faucet. A beautiful new tile backsplash, along with retexturing, painting, installing cabinet pulls, and any new appliances will complete your new kitchen.
White kitchen cabinets, white backsplashes, with quartz white countertops are the primary trend at the moment in the Denver market. Remodeling with white allows you to create your own accents that can be easily removed later on if the home is sold.
Removing walls can create wonderful flow between the kitchen and living areas. Sometimes a complete wall removal is unnecessary or undesired in which case the wall can often be cut down vertically or horizontally to achieve more open design. In recent projects, we have also had great success keeping existing walls (often necessary for structural support) but carving out an open window space, allowing for that desired open-concept visibility.
The latest trends combine two different cabinet colors (one in the island and the other on the wall, or one color for the uppers and another color for the base) to add a bit of a dynamic look. This can work wonderfully if you are wanting to have a woodgrain or natural look but don’t want the whole kitchen to look like the old-fashioned oak cabinets of the 90s. You can also incorporate materials like live-edge wood and stone for shelfing that can bring that warmth and texture to your space.
This is the BIG question. The average cost of kitchen remodels in Colorado varies WIDELY due to a few things: 1) the quality of cabinets and trim, and 2) which contractor is quoting you for labor. There is a high mark-up on kitchen remodels, and the more you know about the materials pricing, the better pricing you will be able to get!
In order of most to least expensive, the cost of the materials for a kitchen remodel are:
On average, a kitchen remodel in Denver can cost between $15,000 and $40,000, depending on the size of the kitchen, the amount of labor, and the quality of the materials. The range is very wide and depends on the cabinets you want, the appliances, fixtures, and size of the kitchen.
Of course, we offer free consultations and estimates. Another great way of finding out how much cabinets will cost is to take your Kitchen measurements to Lowe’s where they will provide a free printout of a basic kitchen design. This will give you a ballpark of cabinet costs, and possibly countertop and backsplash, so that at least you have a sense of builder-grade material costs.
YES! For the most part, you can buy your own materials to save on mark ups. However, it is crucial that you buy from places with an easy and fast return process, especially with regards to cabinets, as these require exact measurements. With cabinetry and countertops, I can provide wholesale pricing as well that may be below what you can find.
RTA cabinets are always a tricky subject. While they do seem cheaper for a better quality finish and hinges, they have to be assembled, and this takes quite a lot of labor and time. Of course, I can work with these but there would be an additional charge per cabinet for assembly. Additionally keep in mind that cabinets assembled by manufacturer have a tighter assembly and squarer corners due to the robotics used. Preassembled direct from manufacturer will be the tightest and best assembly labor, with next in line being RTAs assembled by professional cabinet makers, and finally RTA cabinets assembled by your contractor or yourself.
While there may be little room around labor to reduce the cost, you can find good savings by purchasing well and limiting the design of the kitchen. For example, if you like the open-air look kitchens, you could consider removing all upper cabinets. If you are a careful homeowner when it comes to your countertop, you could use a strong quality, sealed butcher block. If you do not need brand new appliances, you can source near new or out of box appliances. Reducing pricing on high ticket items can have a substantial reduction in costs. We can discuss together ways that can save you money but still get your kitchen remodeled.
The timeline really does depend primarily on your cabinets. If you are willing to source locally, this can reduce your time by 4-8 weeks. Depends on the complexity of the rough-in work (meaning changes in plumbing, electrical or walls), a typical kitchen remodel can take 6-12 weeks from start to finish. .
It can be inconvenient, but it is possible. If you are able to eat out a bit and safely use a plug-in stove for the rest of the time (for example in the garage), you will be able to endure a kitchen remodel!
A kitchen remodel requires adequate preplanning to ensure materials match and come in on time and on budget. Opting for the right Denver kitchen contractor ensures familiarity with both what materials are readily available and what codes need to be met.
Time over time, from Lakewood to Parker Colorado, a remodeled kitchen will substantially increase resale value of a property. Due to the high prices of homes in Colorado, Denver homeowners often prioritize durability and value. Selecting high-quality materials such as stone countertops, moisture-resistant flooring, and solid wood cabinet doors can make all the difference in a lasting renovation.
While trends are inspiring, the best kitchen designs reflect the homeowner’s needs. For example, if you have a small kitchen remodel, you may be able to minimize cost but increase space by removing the upper cabinets, without having to cut walls or create substantial layout changes. For families, maximizing storage and workspace might be key, while those who love entertaining might prioritize a large island or even the installation of a wine cooler. Think about how you use your kitchen daily and design around what you really want if you could have it! We can make it happen!
