Get matched with top kitchen cabinet refacing pros in Carrington, ND

Late summer or early fall are two popular times to upgrade kitchen cabinets. With the holidays right around the corner, this gives you spillover time in case your renovation project takes longer than anticipated. Then you get to host and show off your new kitchen when company comes.

Even the least DIY-savvy homeowner can replace cabinet hardware themselves. All you need is a drill, screwdriver, and a tape measure. However, always take the time to measure and fit carefully. Misalignment or dodgy drill holes can spoil the entire look of your cabinet makeover, and repairs or replacement cabinets can be costly.

A kitchen remodel costs about $27,000 on average. The price ranges from $14,700 to $41,400, depending on cost factors like the scope of the remodeling project, the materials, any repairs or changes needed to plumbing, electrical, tile, and lighting, and your geographic location. Staying with the same kitchen footprint or layout can help reduce the budget needed for your remodel. A large-scale remodel that includes moving plumbing, electrical, and installing new cabinetry, and redefining the kitchen layout can cost up to $70,000 to $130,000 or more.

You can modernize an old-looking closet by just painting it, but beyond that, consider electric elements like recessed or accent lighting. If this is a large and deep closet, you can consider adding an island to the middle or a nice ottoman on a rug. Luxury closets will have even more items, like felt-lined drawers for watches and jewelry, in-wall safes, electronic shoe storage, or a tablet catalog of their items.
