Kitchen Remodel by the work triangle.

Designers have been using the kitchen work triangle to create efficient kitchens remodels for many decades. The work triangle refers to the arrangement of the three basic work areas: the refrigerator, sink, and stove. You don't want these to be too far apart or you will spend a good deal of time running back and forth.

Consolidate kitchen contents with Custom Cabinetry & pantry installation

Walk-in pantries have become very popular as they allow a homeowner to quickly take in the kitchen's contents without having to search through the cupboards. If you're tight on space a pull-out pantry can be installed into areas as small as a few inches wide. A kitchen pantry is a great way to keep the kitchen traffic localized to one area, so that you can cook without interruption.

Don't waste space

Install custom cabinets that go all the way up to the ceiling add baskets and shelving inside to maximize storage space. Add a hanging rack for pots and pans to free up some cabinet space.

Let appliances do some of the dirty work

A dishwasher with a third rack can cut down on the number of times you have to load that dishwasher. Self-cleaning ovens are everywhere today. If you are in the market for energy efficient appliances, consider a dishwasher or even a refrigerator with the Energy Star rating.

Create areas for your kids

A couple of stools at the kitchen counter create an easy, informal place for kids to eat. Also, consider keeping your kids' snacks and beverages on lower shelves where they can easily access them.
Most everyone knows that kitchens have the best return on investment for remodeling projects. However, many homeowners get caught up thinking about granite counters, solid wood cabinets, and hardwood flooring trends and forget to consider how a kitchen lives, its flow, and whether or not it is energy efficient. Don't overlook these simple solutions to when choosing your kitchen remodel.

Kitchen Makeovers for Function

Rather than just scratching the surface, a functional kitchen makeover is often about pulling out and replacing appliances and fixtures. Many people find that one of the things they most want to replace in an old kitchen is the sink. With built in water filters, spray hoses, and wider (or multiple) basins, new sinks have far more options than their predecessors. They'll also look nice, to boot!

Something is usually Missing

Older kitchens are often missing dishwashers, which can be a big job to install if the room wasn't designed to accommodate one. Old stoves are often unreliable and can't properly perform the job they're supposed to do. A new fridge (maybe one with an ice maker) is another common replacement. One of the greatest things about getting all new appliances is lower energy consumption. Those who use their kitchens a lot may very well notice a marked difference when the electric bill comes around.

Kitchen Remodeling Ideas...

Thinking about a Kitchen Remodel

In older homes, a room makeover is often necessary not just to improve appearances but to increase functionality as well. A room makeover can spruce up the look of a dingy den, but it could also make a living room or study more technology friendly. In no place in the home, however, does a room makeover make more sense than in a kitchen. Older kitchens often lack the space and storage that the modern kitchen requires, not to mention the amenities that many new homeowners take for granted.

Remodeling your Kitchen For Appearance

When you already have all the things you want and need in your kitchen, a skin-deep change is often all that's necessary.

Start With Countertops

\Countertops are one place where a kitchen makeover can have a very noticeable effect, without the need to pull anything up or tear anything down. After years of use, countertops can look pretty sad; getting stained, stabbed, and sliced for decades can really take its toll. Many different countertop materials can be installed in two to four hours. The measurements are taken, the material is decided upon, then the new counter is ordered to fit your cabinets and walls.  The new top is installed right on your existing cabinets with limited mess or hassle.

Cabinets

Cabinets are what a kitchen makeover is all about. There are so many different cabinet options that you're sure to find one that suits your needs and tastes. Even if you don't replace your cabinets, some spiffy new hardware, trim, tile and/or lighting can dramatically change the feel of the room for the better, without the high price of a complete overhaul.

Flooring

Flooring is subjected to a lot of wear and tear, and it can get downright ugly after years of traffic. If you're lucky enough to already have some good hardwood in your kitchen, you may want to have us strip and refinish it to enhance the look. Those dealing with a floor that's beyond saving can, of course, install new linoleum, the new “static bond” vinyl floor resembles real wood for a fraction of the cost. Some modern homeowners are opting for laminate. It looks like wood, the performance, in many cases, is even better, and the price is significantly cheaper.  Travertine is an extremely popular flooring material as is porcelain tile.  We also install radiant heating under the tile for a warm cozy feel from your floor.
