Kitchen Counter Remodel Tips for your Oak Shores, CA Home!

kitchen cabinetsHave you considered giving your Oak Shores, CA house an update? One part of a house that tends to hold its remodel value is your kitchen! The kitchen is usually one of the top rooms that potential buyers are most interested in. Here are some things to keep in mind when trying to make a decision on how much to invest in your kitchen remodel.

Amount of Use. Are you someone who enjoys cooking, baking and hosting dinner parties? If so, your kitchen likely gets a lot of use and you will want to consider heavy materials that don’t stain and are non-porous. These materials include stainless steel, quartz and other engineered stone, as well as granite. Materials that are more fragile like marble, Corian and concrete will probably not be the best choice.

Maintenance.  Some kitchen counters are gorgeous…and also require a lot of babying. Are you willing to take the time to keep up with counters that are higher maintenance? For instance, stainless steel is durable but, as you may already be aware…fingerprints need to be continually wiped down. Materials such as marble and concrete need to be sealed several times each year. Polishing is necessary for a material like soapstone.

Budget. How much are you willing to spend? If you are set on a high-priced counter, perhaps you could use less expensive material in other places in your kitchen remodel.

Instead of remodeling, have you considered looking for a home with a kitchen that already suits your taste? I have been selling homes in Oak Shores, CA for years and have a wealth of knowledge. If you are looking for a home in Lake Nacimiento or Heritage Ranch I can help!
