Get the Most out of your Kitchen Remodelling and Repair in Seattle

When it comes to building a home in Seattle, all aspects (from choosing a contractor to execution) must be taken into consideration. It also takes a lot of planning, and this of course includes the design of the kitchen – one of the busiest rooms in any given home. Points that are considered when in the initial stages of design for a kitchen includes: functionality, materials, and the aesthetic presentation of the floor plan. Once all that is set, construction begins. However, when the planning is not done correctly, this is when kitchen remodeling and repair in Seattle becomes inevitable.

A normal sized home usually takes three to four months to complete, but like all things, years of use, exposure to the elements, can deteriorate a home, and rooms within it – especially the kitchen. Johnson Brothers Construction understands this concern, and are continually coming up with ways, means through continued education, exposure and planning, to eliminate the same faulty problem to repeat itself- over and over, again.

Common Kitchen Breakdowns That Require Remodelling

An identified problem that most home owners experience is the poor functionality of their kitchen. It is already a given that the functionality of a kitchen is very important for families to be able to prepare meals properly, cook adequately, clean up and do it all over again, three times a day, seven days a week. Strategic placement of the kitchen counter must be in close proximity to the sink, fridge, stove, oven and exhaust. It takes a highly skilled contractor to be able to create a floor plan that will complement the movement of a person within his/her kitchen area. It includes the kitchen counter and its proximity to the sink and the fridge. This type of mistake often requires a person to take extra steps compared to an efficient kitchen space.

The size of the counter and working aisle in a kitchen may also be one of the aspects to look at when initially forming a floor plan and design for a kitchen. A narrow counter would obviously result to overcrowding of work space, if installed and uncut (wide counters), it may cause space deprivation. Space deprivation will obviously limit the space that is needed to allow one to move along the kitchen when preparing meals.

Poor ventilation is one of the factors that need to be addressed when renovating a kitchen. When cooking, steaming or baking, steam, odor and smoke must be permitted to surface above and find its way out of the kitchen and into open air. This will be impossible if there is not enough ventilation, or good ventilation system in place. One factor, again, that must be considered when doing a kitchen remodeling and repair.

Sure, kitchen remodeling and repair in Seattle homes may be costly because again, the functionality of your kitchen is a huge factor when it comes to safety, sanitation and comfort.
