October is National Kitchen and Bath Month

October is officially National Kitchen and Bath Month – an observation created back in 1982 by the National Kitchen and Bath Association. But why this month – and why these rooms?

This is often the busiest season for home remodeling contractors and designers. With summer behind us and the holidays just around the corner, October is one of the best months to give your home – the kitchen and bathrooms, in particular – some much needed attention and rejuvenation.

There are a number of ways you can partake in National Kitchen and Bath month. Whether it is a minor upgrade or complete remodel, there’s no shortage of ways to enhance your home – or reasons why you should. The type of home remodeling service you choose will be based on a variety of factors, including your budget, schedule and end-goal. Here are a few design tips and service ideas to consider, depending on what your specific needs are.

If you’re on a tight schedule

If you’re on a budget
For most homeowners, one of the biggest factors that comes into play when planning a home remodeling project is their budget. This is understandable, but it is also important to realize that you can make major transformations in your home without spending a fortune. You may be surprised to  learn that even the smallest changes can make the biggest difference.

They key to making sure you get the home remodeling or redesign you want without exceeding your budget is to be very careful and strategic about planning. The more thorough and detailed you are in this step of the process, the more likely you are to minimize costs. Here are some resources to help you do that:

If you want to increase the value of your home
No matter what time of year it is or which specific areas you have worked on, look at home remodeling services as an investment – not an expense. When you make improvements to a house, you are not only making it more comfortable for yourself, but you are also increasing its value for potential future owners.
