Planning and Designing
The most important steps for a successful maximized ROI Kitchen or Bathroom Remodeling project. Carefully review your plans over and over. It is easier to make all the changes you want on the plans rather than facing additional expensive costs later.

Functionality In Your Kitchen
Is your new Kitchen going to be easy to work in? To take full advantage, the most convenient way is to have the refrigerator, sink and stove placed in a triangle. The overall location of the Kitchen in your home should not be forgotten. Take into consideration the distance of the new Kitchen from the nearest entry. You can tire yourself out by bringing groceries in and not have the energy to cook or entertain after.

Match the Architectural Design of your home
Unless you are planning to remodel most areas in your home, do not make your kitchen stand out like a sore thumb. It should be noticed, welcoming, appealing and inviting. Matching your home architecture and design is critical. Example: (If someone is wearing sneakers with an Armani suit it makes you want to laugh. It does not make you want to buy the suit at first glance.)
Quality Workmanship
I cannot stress this enough. If you are not an experienced do it yourself, do not attempt this. Hire a professional. Kitchens and Bathrooms are the most expensive projects in any home. You mess this up and you will be reminded every single day.
Proper Permits
Make sure you have all the appropriate town permits for your project. After all, your investment can only gain its highest return if it’s registered in your town and has passed all inspections.
