Upgrading your kitchen is a perfect way to increase the value of your home. Even small renovations are highly beneficial; according to a 2017 report, the average return on investment for a minor kitchen remodeling project in the United States is 80%. Here are a few simple ideas that will improve the look and functionality of your kitchen while boosting your home’s value.

3 Quick & Easy Kitchen Renovations

1. Replace Old Countertops

Countertops that are chipped, scratched, or stained are not just unsightly; they’re also harder to clean and less efficient to prepare food on. Upgrading your countertops will give your kitchen a fresh new look—and improve its capabilities—without the need for extensive renovations. Plus, with the many color, style, and material options for countertops—from granite and quartz to marble and stainless steel—you can tailor this task to fit within any budget.

3. Update Appliances

Not only does a kitchen filled with old appliances look out of date, but it also runs less efficiently, wastes energy, and costs you or a potential buyer extra money on monthly bills. Replacing old appliances such as refrigerators, stovetops, and microwaves with new, energy-efficient models is a simple way to give your kitchen a makeover—without undergoing major renovations. 

3. Regrout Tile

Cracked or grungy grout between tile floors, counters, and backsplashes can make your entire kitchen look old and worn out. Having it regrouted quickly refreshes the look of your space without the headache of a full kitchen remodeling project. While you can regrout tile yourself, it can be a difficult and messy do-it-yourself job. Call a construction professional who can complete the task swiftly, often in just a few days.
