What should I consider when planning a kitchen remodel?  

When planning a kitchen remodel, consider your budget, the layout of the kitchen, the style and materials you want to use, and the functionality of the space. Key factors include the workflow between the sink, stove, and refrigerator (the work triangle), adequate storage, lighting, and the inclusion of modern appliances.

What is the average cost of a kitchen remodel?

The cost of a kitchen remodel will depend on numerous factors, including the size of the room, the scope of the project, and the materials being used. As such, it’s important to consult with an experienced kitchen remodeler to obtain a quote that’s customized to your specific needs (click here to schedule an initial consultation with VL Builders).

With that said, midrange major kitchen remodels typically cost approximately $85,000 in the Denver, CO, area, while upscale major kitchen remodels often cost about $166,000. At VL Builders, we usually tell our clients to expect approximately 15% of their home’s current value.

What are the latest trends in kitchen design?  

Current trends in kitchen design include open-concept layouts, which create a seamless flow between the kitchen and adjoining living spaces. Popular features include large kitchen islands with seating, smart appliances, and sleek, minimalist cabinetry. Materials like quartz and granite for countertops, and backsplashes made of subway tiles or bold patterns, are also trending. Additionally, two-tone cabinets and mixed materials, such as combining wood with metal or glass, are gaining popularity.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Kitchen remodel timelines can vary from one project to another depending on the complexity of the work being performed. With that said, the planning process typically takes about six to eight weeks, while the building phase normally takes approximately eight to 12 weeks. At VL Builders, we spend the necessary time investigating hidden conditions in the planning phase to avoid unforeseen delays once the project starts. Once your construction contract is signed, all materials are ordered, delivered to our warehouse, and inspected prior to starting your project to avoid unnecessary delays once construction starts.
