How Can I Reduce the Cost of a Kitchen Remodel?

When remodeling a kitchen the first step is to make sure you have a plan that fits your budget. Here are two quick tips to keep your costs down.

Reface your cabinets instead of replacing them. Refacing offers a quick and affordable way to renovate your kitchen at a fraction of the cost of a traditional kitchen remodeling. Rather than replace all the cabinets, you can reface them if they in good enough condition. 

Choose the right material. Particleboard is often used for the sides and backs of cabinets to cut costs, while plywood is a favorite for higher end cabinets that are more expensive but still affordable. Plywood is also a lot easier to drill and screw, which makes assembly a lot easier. Pine cabinet doors are a less expensive option and can last awhile, but they start to show their age easier than hardwoods.
