If you’re thinking of remodeling your kitchen in Arizona, it is important to stay within your budget and have an appropriate plan before beginning. The most expensive part with any kitchen remodel will be the kitchen cabinets. Keep in mind the different cabinet types, as well as the option of refacing instead of replacing. Keeping Existing Cabinets When your cabinets are still in great condition, it may be best to keep them and just restain or repaint them. This will save you the most amount of money, and is generally used when the remodeled kitchen is putting more emphasis on new countertops or flooring. The cabinets are then restained or painted, or even refaced to match the new additions. Keep in mind that when refacing kitchen cabinet, 60-70% of the cost of the cabinet is in the doors. If you are going to be refacing too much, it may be best to look at the next option, new custom, semi-custom, or stock cabinetry.

Granite and matte finishes that are leathered or honed are becoming very popular for your kitchen. These finishes are not shiny instead they have a satin or soft look. Honed pieces do not have the mirror-like appearance like granite countertops but they are equally as durable. Nude colors such as grays, charcoal black, tinted beiges and off-whites are widely being used right now as they have a clean appearance. Neutral paint color decisions have more than just an aesthetic purpose; they also lower maintenance time. These muted colors on cabinets are low maintenance and have to be cleaned less than standard paint colors.
