As we’ve said before, there are many reasons you might want to remodel your kitchen. Perhaps you need more space as your family grows. Perhaps you need different functionality as your family’s cooking/baking skills have changed. Perhaps you need a new look as styles have shifted.

No matter the reason, though, everyone has one goal in common: to increase the value of your kitchen. True, increasing your home’s resale might not be your main objective. You may not think you will ever sell. But still, let’s be honest: no one hopes to spend money on a kitchen remodel and find that it barely impacts the home’s worth.

However, reflecting on this objective raises some important questions. What gives the most bang for your buck? What are the top kitchen upgrades, the ones that most add value to your kitchen? Can I make meaningful changes to my kitchen and still keep costs down? 

We are here to answer these questions for you. That way, you are prepared as you sit down to make your plan based on your space and your budget.

So whether you’re just touching up a few things or doing a complete renovation, these are the top 6 renovations that add value to your kitchen.

People decide to remodel their kitchens for many different reasons. Some do so to up the resale value of their home. Others do so because their current kitchen simply does not meet their needs any longer. And of course, many people remodel because they find their current kitchen…well, unattractive, to use a kinder term.

No matter your reasoning, if you are renovating your kitchen, you know that there are many important decisions to make. These decisions range from the literally big (which refrigerator style should we get?) to the literally small (which cabinet hinges look best?)

One of the most important decisions you make when you remodel your kitchen, though, is which type of countertop to use. After all, the countertop often takes up the most space in the entire room. Plus, it is usually right at eye level. But, you need the countertop to be functional as well.

So, which is the best kitchen countertop material for you? Check out our guide below. That way, you can choose the one that is right for you.

Why do people choose white cabinets?  Well, if you are remodeling your kitchen—or even thinking about it—you might already have the answer. They are sleek and stylish, just about guaranteed to stay in vogue for decades. Psychologically speaking, the human brain associates the color white with being clean and bright. The color white also makes a room feel larger. As a result, white cabinets just feel naturally open, warm, and inviting to us.

Another advantage to white cabinets is that they are, in many ways, a blank canvas. White cabinets can go with almost any design. You can easily play with other colors and textures, and they will still look great with white cabinets.

Of course, such a blank canvas can also make all of the backsplash ideas for a kitchen with white cabinets feel overwhelming. If this is you, don’t worry. Read our guide below to help you come up with the right design for you.

If you’ve been following our progress on this multi-family condo unit in Columbus’ German Village neighborhood, we think you’ll be excited to see this unveiling.

Renovating your home is a fun project to begin. You can remove the old and refresh it or replace it with new to give your home a brand-new look. And you’ll increase your home’s value.

As exciting as this project may be, it can be stressful as well. If you know what you’re doing and you have a vision in mind, you’ll do great.

Here are 10 tips to help make your home renovation project go a lot smoother.

Basements have plenty of creative and financial potential for homeowners.

Many homeowners with unfinished basements tend to ponder what they should do with that extra space. “Should it be used as storage? Should I let it be? Should I turn it into something useful?”

The possibilities are in your hands, but creating a basement suite would be a great choice. Not only does it add another livable space to the home, but it can also add to the resale value of your home if you ever decide to sell it.

Today, we’ll be showing you how a basement suite will boost your home’s value and market attractiveness.

How can families afford to build an addition or in-law suite to their home? Often, the financial benefits outpace the costs. Here’s why.

At Heitmeyer Building and Design, we pride ourselves in bringing our customers the home renovation of their dreams. However, some people ask, “How do you truly know you are bringing people exactly what they want?”  After all, other companies say the same, but unfortunately, they often don’t deliver. 

For us, it’s a simple answer but one that too many other companies seem to ignore. We ask our customers what they need, and then we truly listen. 

Curious how we put that fundamental vision into action? Here are our typical steps for a home remodeling project.

Today, more and more people are choosing multi-generational living, which is considered to be a household that has three or more generations living within or on the same property. This concept might sound great at first, why wouldn’t it? You get to spend more time with your family members–celebrating holidays and birthdays without travel plans–but without the right household setup, it can quickly become clear that there can be some drawbacks too. In this article, we’ll cover why it’s so important to have separate living spaces in multi-generational homes.

Home additions are a great way to potentially add value to your home or property. Of course, some home projects might have a higher return on investment than others. However, you also will need to consider the cost of the home addition project. Today, we’ll be covering how much a home addition can add to the resale value of your home.

The cost of any home or business addition project will be based on square footage. In many cases, the more square feet the project takes up, the more it’ll cost. So before you go through with the blueprinting, ask yourself the following questions.

Have you been considering turning your multi-level home into a multi-generational living space? You have come to the right place to help determine if this is the best move for your household and your family (hint: it is).
