The kitchen is the center of the home where warm meals, laughs, and cherished moments are shared. But like any other room in the house, there will come a time when the functionality and layout need an upgrade. Maybe the appliances are outdated, the design doesn’t bring inspiration or happiness, or you’ve outgrown the old kitchen with your master cooking skills.

#7 The End Result Will be Worth It
Not all kitchen-improvement projects are equal. Certain decorative enhancements might be fine for homeowners to tackle on their own. However, kitchens remodels are serious business and there are many expensive mistakes to be had. More impactful upgrades always mean new plumbing, electrical rewiring, or architectural modifications, and require a thorough understanding of how various elements work in tandem and how families use the space.  Experience coordinating efforts amongst the various tradesmen is a necessity. To ensure optimal results, a certified kitchen specialist must be called in during the creative stages – before a single purchase is made. – John Starck, Jr., Showcase Kitchens in Manhasset, New York
