OC kitchen remodeling dream project
Kitchen Remodeling budget tips, with an Orange County twist.
You've dreamed of ripping out your small cabinets and replacing them with custom kitchen cabinets and upgrading from laminate countertops to granite countertops. The only problem is figuring out how you will finance your kitchen remodeling dream project. Like most homeowners, finding ways to finance a kitchen remodeling is often half the battle of actually getting there. Unlike many homeowners, in Orange County, remodeling more closely resembles the mindset of Donna Karan, than it does Bob Villa. Selecting materials, products and colors is the fun part; the hard part comes in finding the money to finance all those kitchen remodeling upgrades.
Of course, one way to finance your kitchen remodeling project is to attempt the do it yourself way. With the number of home improvement and do it yourself books and television programs available today, more people are attempting kitchen remodeling projects than ever before. There can definitely be a financial advantage to taking on some of the small kitchen remodeling projects yourself. Just be sure you know the limits on your kitchen remodeling skills and when to call in the professionals. The "OC" at least in terms or resale value, is very unforgiving when buyers come looking for a turn key home.
If you lack a large stash of cash in your savings account to fund your next kitchen remodeling project, you'll need to finance it through a borrowing method. A number of home improvement stores now offer financing plans and credit cards, but savvy homeowners know that putting their kitchen remodeling on a credit card can actually be more disastrous than advantageous. Think of the Expo Design Center.
The best way to finance your kitchen remodeling project, if you are not able to pay cash, is to take out a home improvement loan. This is an advantageous route for a number of reasons. First, the interest rate you pay on a home improvement loan for the purpose of kitchen remodeling is going to be drastically lower than the interest rate on a credit card. In the end, this means that you'll pay less for your kitchen remodeling project with a home improvement loan than with a credit card. Second, it's quite likely that you may be able to deduct the interest you pay on your kitchen remodeling loan on your taxes. Finally, obtaining a home improvement loan or an equity line of credit gives you more flexibility with your kitchen remodeling plans, because while some kitchen remodeling contractors won't accept credit cards; everyone accepts cash.
Just remember that when a resident of Orange County, simply adding a coat of paint to a 60 year old kitchen will not get the job done.
