Kitchen & Bathroom Design Blog

If you are embarking on a home remodeling project, there are many factors to consider from color schemes to materials, layout to storage.  You may already have a vision and design features that are must haves for your new space. Or you may be looking for inspiration and guidance when you walk into a design showroom for your first appointment. 

Either way, planning for a home remodel involves balancing your design and style goals with reality, both in terms of your available space and your budget allowance. It also requires determining how to get the maximum value possible from your remodeling budget.  To do this you must understand exactly what you are paying for and what you want to prioritize, as well as how these choices impact your budget.  Ideally when planning your project, you should obtain three price points so you can compare the differences and make informed choices about your remodel. This is an investment in your home and your lifestyle so careful planning is essential. 

Why is budget planning important?

Full transparency in your remodeling budget is key so that you understand all your costs up front and can take control of where you spend your remodeling dollars.  The best approach is to choose a reputable, experienced design and remodeling expert to work with.  Your remodeling professional can guide you through the design process, help with product selections, and offer you transparent pricing for your entire project. 

How can Lang’s Kitchen & Bath Help?

As a leader in our industry, Lang’s Kitchen & Bath follows a proven 12 step kitchen and bath design process.  Part of this process is our good/better/best pricing model where we provide you three price points showing three different options for your remodel.  This means you do not have to search around and talk to multiple design firms or product suppliers to obtain comparative price points for your project. With our meticulous kitchen and bath design process and detailed pricing, Lang’s can guarantee that your final cost will be within 8% of your selected budget. 

What does this do for you? 

With three price points you can very clearly see what you are getting for your money and where the money goes.  You can also more easily make choices to enhance your design or to minimize your costs and know exactly how this will impact your overall budget. A clear, transparent three-tiered price allows you to take full control of your budget and design choices, ​before you commit to anything, and to prioritize what you do with your project. Here is an example of what this comparative pricing looks like for plumbing, cabinetry, and installation and labor costs.

What are the risks of not having three price points?

Without a three-column price proposal like Lang's provides you risk having surprise costs arise, overspending, and not getting exactly what you want out of your remodel.  You also miss a vital opportunity to make informed choices about your kitchen design or bathroom remodeling plans and to gain a full understanding of exactly where your remodeling dollars went.
