Budget-Saving Tips
💡 Keep Your Layout
Moving plumbing and electrical significantly increases costs. Keeping appliances in their current locations can save thousands.
💡 Consider RTA Cabinets
Ready-to-assemble cabinets can save 30-50% compared to pre-assembled options while maintaining quality.
💡 Prioritize Wisely
Invest in quality cabinets (you’ll use them daily for decades) and save on items you can upgrade later, like hardware or lighting.
💡 DIY What You Can
Demolition, painting, and simple installations can be DIY projects. Save professional labor for plumbing, electrical, and cabinet installation.
