Will My Kitchen Remodel Pay Off?
your dream kitchen - now a reality
As a design and build firm that specializes in transforming kitchens into dream spaces, we are often asked if remodeling our kitchen will pay off. In other words, “will I recoup the investment of my kitchen remodel when I sell.” The good news is that you will recoup some of that and let us share why.
According to Realtor.com., kitchen space is one of the most important to potential home buyers. At Birch Tree Design & Remodeling, our team works closely with you to understand your vision for your kitchen and help to align it with costs and budgetary concerns.

Why Remodel Your Kitchen?
People choose kitchen remodeling for a variety of reasons. Lots of folks simply cannot stand their old kitchen one minute longer. Others have wanted to update their kitchen all along but just became financially ready.
Ultimately the most important reason is yours. Remodeling your kitchen can bring a wide range of benefits to your home and your life. A well-designed kitchen can improve the functionality of your space, making it easier and more enjoyable to cook, entertain, and spend time with family and friends.
A kitchen remodel can also add value to your home. Upgrading your appliances, countertops, and cabinets can increase the sale price of your property and make it more attractive to potential buyers.
At Birch Tree Design and Remodeling LLC, we will support you if your dream home is within reach. We can work with you transform your kitchen into a space that reflects your style and meets your needs.
With Birch Tree Design and Remodeling LLC, you can trust that you’re working with the best in town.

How Much Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost?
Remodeling Magazine’s 2022 Cost vs. Value Report says “the average cost to renovate a 200-square-foot kitchen with wood cabinets, an island, laminate countertops and a standard double sink and faucet is slightly over $80,000. That price includes energy efficient range, vented range hood, built-in microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and custom lighting, resilient flooring and painting of walls, trim, and ceiling.” They estimate the value as about $45,000.
Although it would be nice to see the value higher, with getting 100% of your investment back when you sell your house, it may not be realistic. Remodeling Magazine aside, remodeling a kitchen can actually range from $30,000 to $50,000 or even more. It all depends on several factors like size of kitchen and choices for everything from cabinetry to countertops to appliances, and flooring.
The value is also dependent on location. As any realtor will tell you, “location, location, location!” Where the house is contributes to what you can ask for as the selling price. Consider what homes are selling for in your neighborhood. Find out if there is certain kitchen elements, such as an island or type of flooring, that are popular. If so, you may want to consider including it in your project.
High-end materials and high-priced state-of-the-art appliances may be what you want in your kitchen and that is okay. But again, be realistic about the return on these types of upgrades. For example, granite countertops and custom cabinetry will cost more than budget-friendly options like laminate countertops and stock cabinets. A top-of-the-line Viking, Wolf, Dacor, or Thermador range will run $4000 as compared to a more basic Whirlpool at $700. But if it is not what you want, then assuming it is in your budget, get what you want. Just understand that it may not be a recoverable expenditure. If you plan to enjoy your kitchen for a while, you can likely justify the expense.
Another factor to consider is the extent of the remodel. Are you planning an upgrade or do you want to completely gut your kitchen and start from scratch? A full kitchen remodel will typically cost more than a minor update.
You will want to consider these factors when you discuss it with our Birch Tree designers. Include talk about budgets, return on investment, what is a must-have and where can you compromise. It’s important to carefully plan your remodel and set a realistic budget to ensure that you get the most value for your money.
At the end of the day, if you love your new kitchen, enjoy it every day, and you’re happy, that’s “priceless.” Let Birch Tree work with you to help you design a value driven kitchen remodel.
