2020-11-09

It’s crazy how Covid-19 has impacted the world. What once seemed surreal is now very much reality.

Those who were on the verge of starting their remodel are wondering if they should step back or move ahead. Given the existing situation, it’s a tough decision to make. And it’s one that’s important also considering the money and the effort that’s at stake. So what are these homeowners supposed to do?

This can only be answered by someone from the kitchen remodeling industry. Someone who is aware of the latest changes in the industry throughout the ongoing crisis. It’s true that the world economy has taken a hard blow and businesses are at an all-time low. Yet somehow, kitchen remodeling companies have managed to stay afloat amidst the problem at hand.

They have continued to take projects and serve their clients within fixed parameters of safety, both at showrooms and job sites.However, before you make the decision to bring life to your remodeling plans, we advise you to consider the project’s highs and lows carefully.

Pros of Starting Remodeling Now

You get time to plan. You think you failed even before you started. In my opinion, you are the lucky one here because you are still at the planning stage. You can compare the costs, look into the latest designs, and even take a virtual tour around remodeling showrooms.

Take Advantage of Visiting Showrooms. For starters, you can be sure that remodeling showrooms are taking every possible precaution they can think of. From maintaining social distancing to sanitizing surfaces, to body temperature evaluation, everything is covered here.

Alternatively, you can fix a meeting with the designers via ZOOM and/or FaceTime or a phone call, if you aren’t comfortable with going out.

Projects will advance faster. If you belong to the clan who were already into the project, you have reasons to cheer up! Your kitchen contractor at this stage would double up their energy and efforts to complete the task. You are likely to end up getting your as-good-as-new home sooner than you expected.

Attractive Discounts. Most of the kitchen remodeling companies are willing to offer a horde of discounts on a number of items at the moment. Many of these top your list of “to buy products.”

Given the discounts available on different deals, it’s a good time to put your stamp on the paper and sign that deal!

Cons of Starting Remodeling Now

Shortage of products. Despite all the pre-preparation, you may just find yourself short of a particular fitting. In the existing situation, the product may take time to arrive, delaying your project.

Expect to pay more for scarce items. There is a possibility that the fittings and the fixtures can become more expensive because of shortages.

Risk of spending in the present scenario. You also run the risk of overspending in the existing scenario on your remodel. Now, you can’t be sure when the economy will recover. If you plan to take a loan but are unable to pay back, you’ll be in deep trouble.

On the other hand, if you have the cash to finance yourself without landing in a soup, by all means, go ahead.

How to Make the Ultimate Call for Your Remodel?

You have all the right to question the kitchen remodeling contractor on the safety measures they intend to take once you decide to hit the start button. After all, once you decide to go ahead with the remodeling, you can expect yourself to be saddled with the crew for the next few months.

The working crew must build up barriers to separate the work area from the rest of your home. Find out if they are adequately provided with disinfectants to sanitize their hands regularly. There must be a senior amongst the crew to ensure that any crew member who isn’t feeling well is sent home without delay.
