Penn Contractors is an expert in kitchen remodeling, with 25 years of experience in Lehigh Valley, creating kitchens that reflect the homeowner’s unique style and meet their specific needs. Exceeding your design goals, adhering to your budget, and meeting your timeline is more than our priorities, they’re our guiding principles.
We know you have questions about what to expect and we have answers. Here are the most frequently asked questions we’ve received about the kitchen remodeling process.
We have used for at least four separate projects. We continue to go back to Penn because of their exceptional professionalism, service, and quality.
Penn Contractors has completed two additions to our home as well as renovation of our kitchen and bathrooms. Customer satisfaction is of paramount importance to Penn. They never ended a job until we were 100% satisfied.
Penn contractors handled a complex home addition for us with a kitchen, bathroom, master bedroom closet, laundry room, mudroom, and garage.
The length of time your kitchen remodel will take depends on the extent of the project. At Penn Contractors, we focus on major kitchen remodels. A major kitchen remodel could include changing the layout, removing a wall, installing an island, and replacing all of the finishes. The former will take less time than the latter.
Timing will also depend on the age of your home if any other repairs beneath the surface need to be addressed, and how many change orders are made. To get a better idea of how long your remodel may take, contact Penn Contractors, describe your remodeling goals, and the team will help you understand an appropriate timeline.
Kitchen cabinets are estimated to take up around 30% to 40% of a typical budget. This isn’t a hard rule, of course, but a good understanding of how much of your budget will go to this one aspect. Kitchen cabinets are a large portion of your kitchen, set the style tone, and should be high quality because of their frequent use and the weight they carry. The cost of labor, kitchen appliances, and countertops follow.
The standard amount you will spend on your kitchen remodel should be around 15% to 20% of your home’s total current value. Spending more may mean you are choosing materials that are out of sync with the quality of materials in the rest of your home and you won’t get a return on investment (ROI) that’s in keeping with the area standard.
Of course, there are circumstances where spending more than 15% is warranted, such as replacing compromised subflooring, replacing the wiring in an older home, or removing load-bearing walls to create an open concept.
These questions only scratch the surface for most homeowners, so we invite you to browse our portfolio and reach out with the specific concerns you may have about the remodeling process.
