Affordable Kitchen Remodeling

Kitchens are not always super expensive and un-affordable.  This blog is intended for a middle income property value of $150,000-$325,000 (based on the Tampa Bay Area).  It is based on a mid-size, typical kitchen for a single family house.  Quality does not have to be compromised for an affordable kitchen.  A typical kitchen remodel that replaces the cabinets, countertops, plumbing fixtures, lighting, and backsplash can easily cost less than $10,000. 

The key to keeping costs down while not sacrificing quality is to find quality products and materials as well as an experienced team to execute the remodel.  If you are looking to remodel your kitchen for an affordable price without minimizing quality, we recommend you look to find a solution that includes all the following components:

-          High Quality, All Wood Cabinets

-          Cabinets that are Readily Available and In Stock

-          Granite Countertops

-          Full Demo of Existing Kitchen and Haul Away of Debris

-          Drywall Repairs, as necessary, after Demo

-          Painting included

-          Stainless Steel Under-mount Sink, Faucet, and Disposal

-          Re-Installation of Appliances

-          Tile Backsplash

-          Cabinet Hardware

-          Licensed and Insured Professional

-          Under $10,000

We hope people take the time to look into alternative options when trying to remodel their kitchens.  With some creative thinking about materials and labor, most mid-range kitchens can be remodeled at an affordable price with quality finishes.

We at Hybrid Construction have these solutions set up and ready to execute.  Feel free to contact us today with any questions.

Out of Contractor Control

A lot of my time and effort for a project is spent on thinking proactively, scheduling, and trying to stay a few steps ahead of the project.  This thought process helps our company execute projects professionally, on time, and with minimal problems.  Of all the things we can control, with experience, very few mistakes tend to occur.  Many problems with projects can be linked to issues that are out of contractor control.  Some of the issues out of contractor control that come to mind include:

-          Plans or Drawings

-          Permitting Reviews

-          Inspector Schedules

-          Hidden Project Conditions (Behind Walls, Under Floors, Etc…)

-          Material Back Orders

-          Owner Decision Delays

-          Owner Material Orders

-          Progress Payment Delays

-          Plan Changes

-          Long Lead Items

We try to make every effort to stay ahead of issues that are under our control.   We also try and help the party responsible for issues out of our control so the project can stay on schedule.

Commercial Remodel Budgeting

I receive a lot of calls from commercial realtors and tenants about budget remodel costs and/or square foot costs.  Typically, a fairly accurate estimate can be put together quickly with a scope of work, some photos, and a sketch of the space.  Unfortunately, these details cannot be provided during a phone call, so commenting about costs without some background of information will be inaccurate and pretty useless.  Commercial property is more difficult to estimate because each building and situation is different.  If possible, I always recommend that we try to meet at the site for a quick 10-15 minute walk through.  The scope can be discussed and valuable information can be gathered.  As a General Contractor, this should always be for free.  It helps us with refining out historical estimate data and helps the tenant or agent with useful cost information that can be marketed with the property.  If a site meeting is not possible, we would recommend the following information be provided by the agent or tenant:

-          Photos of the interior and exterior of the space

-          Existing sketch of the space

-          Proposed sketch of the space to illustrate changes

-          Detailed scope of work narrative

Our goal is to help provide accurate cost information for a property and its intended use so smart decisions can be made and projects can hopefully move forward.

We at Hybrid Construction have these solutions set up and are available to provide assistance for any tenant improvement in the Tampa Bay area.
