Wayside Kitchens tip of the day....

Don't skimp on under cabinet lights. We understand that we all try to save money when working on a kitchen remodel, but under cabinet lights are a must. They brighten the space as well as providing usefull task lighting. If you think "I will add them later", the cost is much greater. The electrician will have to deal with backsplash and cabinets already installed to "fish" the wiring making it more difficult therefore more costly.

Antique makeover

Kitchen remodeling costs vary from job to job. Some kitchens are easier to remodel than others. For instance,

we are estimating the cost of remodeling a kitchen in an antique house in Acton. The house was built in the 1700's with a newer addition for the kitchen. However, the space where the kitchen is located has paneled walls, and the ceiling has beams and beadboard. We need to remove all these components in order to expedite the wiring and plumbing. Speaking of plumbing, we are moving the sink location and removing the laundry area from the kitchen and placing it in a small room off the entry foyer. The basement is a crawl space in most areas where the work is being done. We are facing a lot of challanges with this project and the cost can be must higher. The client should also have a "rainy" fund set aside for unforseen issues. We expect surprises!
