There are many home improvement projects that can add value to your house. Kitchen remodels are a top choice, as this space can quickly become outdated and be seen as a negative factor by prospective buyers. If you choose to upgrade your kitchen, however, there are some steps to take while getting ready. Below, Alaska Painting & Construction in Anchorage shares three ways to help start your remodel process with ease.

3 Tips for Preparing for a Kitchen Remodeling Project

1. Clean Out Your Space

Most people have cabinets and drawers full of items they don’t need. Before starting this home improvement project, go through your entire kitchen and donate items you no longer want or use. Trash the extra takeout sauces and throw out any fridge items that have expired. Assess your small appliances, like blenders and mixers, and donate or give away ones that haven’t been used for a while. This clean out will help you decide how to organize your kitchen once it’s completed.

2. Stock Up on Easy Foods

To get through the process, stock up on foods that are easy to put together without a stove or oven. Create a small makeshift kitchen in another room of your home where you can keep a microwave and some dishes. This will allow you to make items like soup and frozen dinners while you wait for your dream kitchen to be finished.

3. Empty the Room

Pack away everything that’s not attached to the walls before a contractor begins this home improvement project. That means boxing up food and dishes, storing pots and pans, and emptying the fridge. Remove any curtains or art hanging on the walls to make sure this space is ready for demolition. Speak with your contractor, so you have an estimate on how long you will not be able to use your kitchen.
