You devote a significant amount of time to your kitchen. Your kitchen is likely the most used room in your home, from cooking and entertaining to simply enjoying a cup of coffee. When it comes to remodeling, it’s critical to avoid making mistakes that could turn your dream kitchen into a nightmare. We’ve compiled a list of 10 kitchen remodeling mistakes to avoid to help you avoid any potential pitfalls.
Many homeowners make the mistake of not planning for the future when it comes to kitchen remodeling. They select finishes and fixtures that they adore today but may not adore in ten years. If you don’t intend to stay in your home indefinitely, choose timeless finishes and fixtures that will appeal to future buyers.
While you don’t want to choose finishes and fixtures that will be out of date in a few years, you also don’t want to go overboard with them. Some fashion trends last longer than others.
When remodeling their kitchens, many homeowners make the mistake of overlooking storage. Many people focus solely on the appearance of their kitchen and fail to consider how they will actually use the space. It’s critical to have enough space to store all of your pots, pans, dishes, and food.
The layout of your kitchen is critical, but it is frequently overlooked during a remodel. Many people choose the finishes and fixtures first, then plan the layout.
It’s easy to get caught up in the big picture of a kitchen remodel and overlook the details. However, it is the small details that can make or break a kitchen remodel. Every detail, from the hardware to the backsplash, should be carefully considered.
One of the most common mistakes homeowners make when remodeling their kitchens is failing to stick to a budget. It’s easy to get caught up in the process and end up spending more money than you intended.
Choosing the wrong contractor can ruin your entire kitchen remodel if you are not careful. It is critical to conduct research and select a reputable contractor. Before making a final decision, seek recommendations from friends and family and read online reviews.
Another common error that homeowners make when remodeling their kitchens is failing to obtain the necessary permits. Depending on the scope of your project, you may require multiple permits. If you do not obtain the necessary permits, you may face fines or even have to redo your entire kitchen remodel.
If you’re thinking about remodeling your kitchen, you should do your research first. This entails investigating the various types of finishes and fixtures available, as well as the various contractors in your area.
Trying to do it yourself is one of the biggest mistakes you can make when remodeling your kitchen. Unless you’re a professional contractor, you probably don’t have the necessary skills or experience to complete a successful kitchen remodel.
You can avoid potential disasters and have a successful kitchen remodel with careful planning and a little research!

We hired Kdo kitchens and Remodeling to redo our kitchen and our bathroom. While all remodels came with their really high estimates(friends warned us), Dee and the Kdo Remodeling team constantly stayed in contact and tried to do everything they could to make sure we were fully satisfied. Their 3D modeling made it easy to visualize our bathroom and kitchen. Koral suggested fixtures and all the little small things we need which we greatly appreciated. And when it came to managing the budget, they did work with us to to make sure we stay on budget . We can’t thank them enough we love the result.Ant2024-01-24Dee did an amazing job on my kitchen and really paid attention to the small little details. He listen and always with a smile on his face! He stayed on budget and was super professionalThat_Mane_ D2024-01-03We hired KDO to remodel our kitchen and we are loving the results. Koral has a great design eye and Dee runs a tight ship on the construction side. We were so impressed with their crew, who always showed up on time and were both courteous and tidy. We'd been nervous about doing the reno because we know so many people who have kitchen reno horror stories, but KDO totally spoiled us. Our work was done on time in spite of several "old house surprises" along the way that required extra time and effort to address. Thank you so much, KDO!Julie Brock Reeves2023-12-29Great company to work with and they are great people.

Highly recommendedXavier Everett2023-12-07Dvir & Koral in our opinion are the “ DREAM TEAM”! What company is out there where customer service reigns supreme? Well KDO is that company. The very first and most important step they take is meeting the potential client personally, shaking their hand and listening. That’s right they listen. Their goal is to know exactly what is important to you, the client. We shared what we would like and with Dvir measuring along with Koral designing they achieved the most stunning kitchen! They stayed on budget, arrived when they said they would, estimated a time frame and stuck to it. Their crew were all very polite and cleaned up after each day of work. My husband & I cannot say enough praise for this lovely couple who inserts their heart into every effort. They made the whole experience personal. We now consider them our friends.Helen Mapes2023-12-07I’m beyond amazed at how my bathroom remodel came out! Looks straight out of a magazine no joke!!!
