Boost the value of your home

Is your home out of date, with colors and design elements that are a dead giveaway to the era when it was built? Done correctly, remodeling and installing updates to decor can significantly enhance the beauty of your home as well as pay dividends when it’s time to sell. Before you undertake any projects, though, it’s important to gain an understanding of which areas of the house add the most to your home value when they’re modernized.

You’ve probably heard the saying that kitchens and bathrooms sell houses. Your kitchen is one of the living areas of the home that is most visible and is used by all of the occupants, which means whether you’re staying or going, you will get your money’s worth. This concept is supported by research that shows kitchen updates tend to be associated with an excellent rate of return. In fact, research shows that you can count on getting back approximately 60% of the money you spend when you sell.

Kitchen upgrades that make sense

When deciding on a budget for your remodel, you’ll need to start with determining how much your home is worth. Once you have an approximate value, it’s recommended that you can add home value by keeping the total spent between 5% and 15% of that number on your kitchen upgrades.

One of the projects that makes the biggest visual and practical impact is replacing the cabinets. A good way to save money on this element is installing RTA cabinets in your kitchen. RTA, or ready-to-install, cabinets are shipped in large pieces, and you perform the final assembly. For example, when you order from Domain Cabinets, you’ll receive several boxes containing doors fronts and frames (if you’ve selected framed cabinets), cabinet box components, and hardware.

Yes, you can do it

By ordering RTA cabinets, you can save money whether you decide to build yourself or hire help. The best value is to put them together yourself, but the phrase “some assembly required” can often make people nervous. The good news when you order Domain Cabinets, is that you’re getting a high quality product along with easy instructions on how to install cabinets. And our customer service department is here to help if you do have questions.

Home remodelling is always an exciting venture. Brand new finishes can transform a space and bring it into the current decade, and nothing has as much impact as a beautifully updated kitchen. Check out our huge selection of RTA cabinets and start planning your transformation today.
