The heart of any home is in the kitchen. Unfortunately, an outdated kitchen can make your entire home feel old and dreary. Many homeowners dream of a kitchen renovation but aren’t sure if they have the budget for a complete makeover. Kitchen contractors can help revitalize your kitchen, even on a small budget. With the help of home renovation contractors, you can breathe new life into a core room in your home and ensure you and your family enjoy cooking again. Here are a few helpful tips for renovating a kitchen on a small budget.

Refresh Rather Than Replace Cabinets

Your cabinets make up a sizeable portion of your kitchen and are among the most front-facing elements of the room. Changing your cabinets helps put a fresh face on your kitchen and transform the room into a bright and refreshed space. Although many people do not have the budget to replace their cabinetry completely, a much cheaper option is to restore your existing cabinets. With the help of kitchen contractors, this could include re-staining old and tired wood cabinets or adding a fresh coat of paint. When it comes to painting, you could choose to add a pop of colour for a unique design element or choose a classic colour like white to make your kitchen feel large and bright. Home renovation contractors can make your kitchen feel brand new, even on a small budget, with bright and refreshed cabinets.

Match Kitchen Appliances

One thing that is the same about all high-end kitchens: their appliances match. Whether you have older white appliance models or modern stainless-steel appliances, you can quickly improve your kitchen’s aesthetic by matching your appliances. Depending on your kitchen, if you are slowly updating your devices, it might be a great time to invest in replacing the rest of your appliances to be in the same style. Kitchen contractors at Rose Building Group specialize in kitchen renovations, offering high-end contractor services at an affordable price. The perfect option for homeowners looking to make an inexpensive change to their home.

Keep Flooring Minimal But, Don’t Skimp on Counters

When considering a kitchen renovation, many homeowners are concerned about the price of their flooring. Tile and hardwood can be expensive, but thankfully there are plenty of high-end vinyl options for modern kitchens. Without breaking the bank, home renovation contractors can help you replace your existing flooring with an affordable option such as vinyl wood or tile.

Unlike flooring, kitchen contractors never recommend skimping on counters. Your counters should be the centrepiece of your kitchen and will likely be the feature most noticeable by visitors and family members. A durable, long-lasting counter is essential to ensure it can survive years of cooking, homework, and family memories in your new kitchen. Easily compare options with the kitchen contractors at Rose Building Group to help you find the flooring and counters that fit your budget.

Keep the Same Kitchen Layout

Kitchen renovations quickly become expensive if you are looking to change the layout of the room. Whether that means knocking out a wall to expand your kitchen or simply swapping the location of different features, the price tag can quickly add up if you are considering a significant structural change. TO help keep your costs low and keep your renovations within budget, we recommend keeping the same kitchen layout. You can still completely transform your space with the help of kitchen contractors, a fresh coat of paint, and many of the suggestions outlined above. Without changing the room’s layout, you can transform the heart of your home and learn to enjoy spending time in the kitchen again.

Make the Space Your Own

Beyond your counter and flooring choices, custom design elements can make a huge difference when it comes to kitchen renovations. At Rose Building Group, we offer interior design services to help you make your kitchen truly unique. These design elements include simple changes like a new backsplash, fresh artwork, or a pop of colour on cabinets. You can also think outside of the box to have a chalkboard wall, free-standing kitchen island, or other design features useful for you and your family. The sky is the limit when it comes to making your kitchen space one of a kind. Not sure where to begin? Our interior design team can help suggest design elements that improve your new kitchen’s function and aesthetic.

Matthew and his team at Rose Building Group have completed 2 projects for us. A couple of years ago we completed a main floor renovation, which included a complete kitchen reno. Just recently we completed a master bathroom renovation. The work for both projects was impeccable. Really high quality workmanship, and incredible attention to detail.

The quality of the work is truly second to none. What impresses me the most about this company, however, is the people. They are all kind, warm, genuine, and professional. I enjoyed having them in my home, and was very comfortable. It is clear that they are committed to delivering a very high level of customer service and satisfaction through both the work they do, and they way they engage with the client. It's really impressive.

We recently completed our home renovation with Rose Building Group, which included a full renovation of both the interior and exterior of our house. We feel that we could not have picked a better company to do this extensive project. When Matt first came to our house to give us a quote we could tell instantly the professionalism and attention to detail he has when looking at a project. Throughout the entire renovation, Matt was easy to get in touch with, either by phone or email, which made it less daunting on my Wife and I whenever we had questions or wanted to add something. Matt was always upfront whenever issues arose (this was bound to happen during a full renovation of an old house) and always came prepared with possible solutions for us.

His staff always presented themselves as professionals. They were very respectful when speaking to us, and with taking care of our property by cleaning up the interior and exterior before going home every night. We even had neighbours on our street comment on how well our place looked, even during the construction. It was obvious that they are a very hardworking company, dedicated to ensuring a smooth and timely renovation. Rose building group was on schedule, and completed our project by the date discussed by Matt, prior to them beginning.

If you are looking to complete a renovation of your home, rest assured that if you choose Rose Building Group, that you will not be disappointed. You will have a professional company, that will make your home beautiful!

We decided on Rose Building Group for our main floor renovation that started earlier this year. We have nothing but great things to say about RBG and the team.

At the beginning of the renovation we were provided with a renovation schedule so that we knew what would be happening on each day and we were most impressed at the adherence to this schedule. We were also provided a Scope of Work at the beginning of the project and any changes made along the way were clearly outlined.

Their communication during the renovation process was top notch and someone always got back to us very quickly.

Matthew, Settle and entire team were so professional and Alisha, the selections coordinator, was especially helpful and went out of her way to help with some of the finishing choices.

Other than a few things that were delayed beyond their control, this renovation was completed in a very timely manner and is absolutely beautiful. They made our vision come to fruition and we hope to use them again when we are ready to renovate our main bathroom. They made the process of doing a major renovation relatively low stress and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to do a major renovation.

Great job RBG- you were all awesome!

Matthew and his team were amazing to work with. They recently completed a full basement renovation for my personal home. I work for Baudit Interior design and have worked with several contractors and was very impressed with their professionalism, correspondence, organization and can do attitude. The whole crew worked efficiently and diligently. They were kind, respectful of us and our home and kept a very tidy work space. The quality of the workmanship and attention to detail was impressive. I would and have recommended them for any future projects.

Matt has a great company with a team of highly skilled craftsmen. We originally contemplated a bathroom renovation project and expanded the scope to include new staircase, hardwood flooring, crown moulding, recessed led lighting throughout and painting top to bottom. Matt’s experience was extremely helpful in that he was able to guide us in making the right choices upfront to help modernize the look of our home. His detailed approach and project management thru his team ensured we got the results we were looking for and the highest quality or workmanship and finish. We are extremely happy with the results and feel like we are in a brand new home but better. Definitely a company to talk to about renovations.

Additionally, Matt and his team adhered to all COVID protocols at all times which was very reassuring given the scope of the project with most of the work over eight weeks occurring during the third wave while we continued to live and work from our home.

I highly recommend Rose Building Group and we will have them back for future renovations.

Rose Building Group completed a living room renovation for me. Matthew and his team were a pleasure to work with and very professional.

Matthews team were patient with any questions or concerns I had and took the time to explain what was happening during the project and addressed any concerns. They are very professional and CLEAN.

I really enjoyed working with Matt and his team and I am very pleased with the workmanship from the trades they used.

Matts team also took the time to do some repair work for me that had some damage.

I will use Rose Building Group for my next home renovation
