Tips and Tricks for 2014 Kitchen Remodeling

Kitchen remodeling remains popular as homeowners continue to create a friendly, comfortable and well-organized center of the home.  In addition to an improved overall appearance and better organization, kitchen remodels also hold reasonable return on investment (roi).

Midrange smaller kitchen remodels, including new countertops; appliances; cabinet fronts and hardware will run a homeowner roughly $20,000 and will result in a return of close to $15,000.  Major kitchen remodels will range an average of $60,000 and the return on investment will be roughly $40,000.  The return on investment will change as kitchen remodeling plans approach high-end renovation territory.

The driving force behind kitchen remodeling is always functionality.  Start by conducting research near your home and visit home improvement shows or kitchen show rooms to test products up close and personal.  Next, you will want to set a budget that mirrors your priorities for the space and make yourself familiar with the design elements you will be able to fit into your budget.

Modern kitchens average up to 3oo square feet and tend to be part of an open-floor plan.  Popular trends include a move away from clutter, energy efficiency, natural materials and a major shift toward simplicity.  Look to digital design resources, magazines, books and homes featured on style programs for inspiration.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

It may be time for your family to cut the clutter.

Now is the time to take inventory of what you need for storage, and make a plan that will fit your needs.  Cabinet makers understand the need for solid storage and organization, and have acted accordingly by developing superb storage options.

How do you want your family to use your kitchen?

Determine whether you want to use your kitchen as a hub of family fun, one in which you both cook and entertain your family.  Do you want to cook alone or with a friend or family member?  Will the kitchen be a room where the kids do homework with their friends?  Keep track of what works and what is not working.

Plan for efficiency.

If the kitchen feels like a battle zone, consider working the triangle or building separate work stations within the kitchen.

As you plan to build a friendlier kitchen, you will want to keep all of your plans on budget!  Consult with the team from Rossi Construction, Inc. at 813.436.0177 regarding the best choices for developing a budget which will allow for a solid return on investment.

They were very professional. Quoted us a time frame and they were exact on the time frame. The were very clean as they cleaned up every night. Any questions I had they were very helpful. Overall a great experience. We plan on using them again if we decide to redo our bathrooms. The kitchen came out very nice and we are very happy with it.

This company is great. They did an awesome job on our remodel. The quality of work surpasses everything. All project hiccups were professionally handled and solutions came out better than planned. Jason Rossi and his lead foreman on our job Brian Smith are very professional. Brian provided a wealth of knowledge in regards to our entire first floor remodel project. Brian Smith is trustworthy and the quality of his work is impeccable. Job well done JRossi Construction!!

The work quality was outstanding, the crew friendly and a delight to work with, and they cleaned up after themselves and left the place in great shape! When I remodel my other unit, there is no doubt that Rossi Construction will be doing the work there also. I had an issue with the door quality of the cabinets and Rossi and his crew met with myself, and the Cabinet Representative immediately, and the issue was resolved to My Satisfaction. You can easily tell that Customer Satisfaction is what everyone in the organization is focused on. Great Job and thanks again, Ed.

Rossi just remodeled our hall bathroom and kitchen. They are incredibly skilled craftsmen who use the best products. We had two different men lead each project and they were both wonderfully skilled (cabinetry, tile, hardware installation, electric, plumbing, painting, etc.). They are honest, hardworking, on schedule, clean up after themselves, and fix problems. We highly recommend them.

Rossi Construction just finished renovating our veterinary hospital. The entire process from start to finish was flawless. Jason was the only contractor who looked at our space and was able to get a rough quote to us within 24 hours. Everything ran on schedule and within budget, and the final product was beautiful. Our project supervisor was incredibly knowledgeable and easy to work with. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for construction work in the Tampa area.

The guys from Rossi do great work. We did a complete remodel of two levels of our house (we have a split level). The work included a full redesign of the master suite (took space from the bedroom to make a bigger bathroom and add a walk-in closet, also changed configuration of some windows), full redesign of main level (kitchen, living, and dining space) that included floating a sunken floor and removing walls to open the space, and cosmetic updates to the rest of the bedrooms (new doors, trim, paint, etc.). Only small issues were due to subcontractors, and Rossi made sure everything was brought up to expectation. We're super happy with the result and would not hesitate to use them on future projects.

I would highly recommend Rossi construction. Jason and his employees were very professional, very conscientious, and definitely went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with the project. If I emailed questions, they were promptly answered. I believe the pricing on the project was very fair. I am recommending them to all my friends. It was a great experience working with this contractor. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Overall, the remodel went quite well. The workmanship is very good.The crew was very punctual and professional. I found some minor issues that I pointed out to them, and they resolved them to our satisfaction. They could have done a better job with drop cloths in the hallways. There was a fair amount of joint compound that got tracked around on the carpet, and some of the dirt & debris got ground into the carpet. However, I consider this to be a minor issue, and would definitely consider using them again.
