Kitchen Renovation Tweed Heads

What is a Kitchen Renovation?

A kitchen renovation, kitchen remodel, kitchen makeover, kitchen reno or kitchen refurbishment is the complete removal of your existing kitchen and replacement all new cabinetry, benchtops, splashbacks and can include new plumbing, electrical, lighting and flooring. Many people take advantage of the timing and look at having a whole new kitchen floor plan design.

What does a Kitchen Renovation Cost?

There are many of factors to consider when getting a new kitchen cost, not only is it the custom made cabinets that need to be priced but also appliances, sinks, tap ware, lighting and other trades. As a general guideline for just the cabinetry a small kitchen can cost anywhere from $8,000 with the average kitchen cabinetry cost around $20,000. Most Australian homeowners doing a kitchen renovation will spend between $18,000 – $22,000 for the cabinets and bench tops.

The difference between a New Build Kitchen and a Kitchen Renovation

A kitchen renovation is different to a new kitchen for a new build home in the fact that a kitchen renovation usually takes place in a lived in dwelling at the time of replacement. Having experience in undertaking this task is extremely important, your family happiness is a huge factor to consider. Over the last 18 years Ben’s Kitchens in South Tweed Heads has gained extensive experience and knowledge particularly in kitchen renovations. We have mastered the art of live in kitchen renovations and know how to make for your project fun and exciting minus stress and hassle.

Another factor to consider is movement in your house. Typically a kitchen renovation takes place in a residence that is a number of years old. From time of build, a house or dwelling will settle and shift, these movements are minor and unnoticed but certainly important when kitchens or custom cabinetry are measured to fit to the closest millimetre.

A huge advantage to a kitchen renovation is from living with your existing kitchen you know what does and doesn’t work about it for your individual family needs. This is a massive design advantage over any new build kitchen! An entirely new custom kitchen in your home is the perfect solution. Solve those annoying disfunctions of your kitchen that you have come to know well with a new kitchen and an exciting new layout.
