Kitchen Renovation Budget
Spurs enormous debate…But no matter how many ways the figure is argued, always shakes out at roughly 10% of home value
![Page 15: Kitchen Renovations: Prioritizing What Matters to You](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070315/55526098b4c9052e1f8b4c0d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Kitchen Renovation Budget
• How much should you/can you spend?• Without compromising functionality,
20%-30% pricing flexibility depending on choices you make……don’t overlook this!
• Can the firms you are selecting give you the products you need, at the price points you need?
