Budgeting the cost of Kitchen Renovation materials and save
When it comes to budget-friendly materials for a kitchen renovation in Nashville, several options can help you save money without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
Ready-to-Assemble Cabinets: Ready-to-assemble (RTA) cabinets are a cost-effective option for kitchen cabinetry. These cabinets come flat-packed and can be assembled onsite, saving on shipping and labor costs compared to custom-built cabinets. Those cabinets are on average 20-30% cheaper than traditional cabinets – including assembly costs. Another way to save is to install Ikea cabinet for cabinetry system and get custom doors with Semihandmade or similar Ikea door companies. We always recommend this to our clients, as it’s a very budget friendly way to get the “Floor to Ceiling” upscale cabinet look! It’s on average 30-50% cheaper than getting actual semi-custom cabinetry. Tura Renovation is the specialist in installing those type of cabinets as well as Ikea cabinets.
Subway Tile Backsplash: Subway backsplash tile is a timeless and affordable option for a kitchen backsplash. Subway tiles offer a timeless look at a fraction of the cost of more elaborate tiling options. Typically, subway tiles can cost between $2 to $13 per square foot, depending on the material and finish, making them a cost-effective solution for adding elegance to your kitchen. It may look simple, but our clients love to customize the grout color to add personality to subway tiles. It’s also a sure value at resale. Some of our favorites models at The Tile Shop.
Laminate Flooring: Laminate flooring is another budget-friendly option that mimics the look of hardwood at a lower cost. It’s durable, easy to clean, and available in a variety of styles and finishes. The average cost of laminate flooring is about $1 to $5 per square foot, significantly cheaper than traditional hardwood, which can run from $8 to $25 per square foot. Laminate flooring is available in various styles that mimic real wood, stone, and even tile finishes.
Butcher Block Countertops: Butcher block countertops offer a warm and natural look to your kitchen at a fraction of the cost of stone countertops. They’re also relatively easy to install and maintain. Butcher block provides a cost-effective countertop option with prices typically ranging from $20 to $60 per square foot, much less than granite or marble, which can cost upwards of $40 to $100 per square foot. Butcher block has been very popular lastly with our clients!
Paint: Tackling the painting of your kitchen on your own is perhaps the most direct way to cut costs. By avoiding professional fees, which can range from $2 to $6 per square foot just for labor, homeowners can save thousands. Tura Renovation recommends DIY tutorials and can guide homeowners through the process, providing tips and recommending resources to ensure a professional-quality finish .
