A List of Things to Do in a Kitchen Renovation

Let’s focus on the different aspects of home renovation Toronto. Of course, there’s a lot to do, but you should be doing one room at a time. Or, you can simply focus on one room instead of remodeling the entire house. Kitchen renovation is a popular choice. Astaneh construction is a reputed general contractor service. Be it the kitchen, or working in the basement, we can handle it all. We specialize in kitchen work, as it is a popular choice among our clients.

The extent of work done also varies from one house to another. Some homeowners may just want the cabinets reworked, while others might ask for a full remodeling. The full extent of work includes flooring, tiling, countertops, and lighting, besides cabinets. Here is a list of things to consider when you want to do kitchen work as a part of home renovation Toronto.

• Cabinets and Shelves

Up to a great extent, cabinets decide how the kitchen looks. At the same time, they are prone to wear and tear due to heavy use. Stains may appear on the cabinet body, and the hinges might get loose. Old cabinets give the kitchen a dated look, so replacing them is important. As you decide on new cabinets, what are your options? Which is the best choice?

Essentially, it depends on your budget and preferences. In the lower and medium price range, you have different options. You can use Ready-To-Assemble (RTA) cabinets that come in various sizes, textures, and colors. Since these come with all the hardware needed to assemble them, they can help you save on labor charges.  You can also use Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) for kitchen renovation if you are on a low budget.  It is also commercially known as engineered wood or hardboard. They are made by gluing wood particles together at a high temperature. However, being cheap, these may not be very durable.

If you have a higher budget for home renovation Toronto set aside for the kitchen, let us know. Astaneh construction can provide excellent carpentry solutions for custom hardwood cabinets joined together by dovetail joints.  Solid wooden cabinets have a timeless classic charm, and they never go out of trend!

Similar to cabinets, you can also try open shelving for kitchen renovation. It is one of the most popular trends of 2021, waiting for you to adapt it to your kitchen. Display your collection of fine cutlery beside showpieces that you would want to place in the kitchen. You can also add hooks for hanging coffee mugs. Open shelving also allows a lot of scopes to be creative, as you can add wallpaper of your choice in the background. Finally, Astaneh construction suggests that you also add accent lighting in the open shelves for a heightened effect.

• Island and Pantry Room

Among the major aspects of value addition, you can have new kitchen islands, or a separate pantry room carved out from a corner (if there is sufficient space). Astaneh construction has noted that both these aspects are trending in 2021 ideas for home renovation Toronto. Kitchen islands serve as the focal point of the entire kitchen, so you should get a nice one. We can help you install the island of your choice.

While setting it up, we take care of the details, such as providing enough legroom and enabling it with electrical outlets. We would also keep sufficient space around it to allow foot traffic. Islands can be wooden or made with natural stones such as marble or granite. Engineered quartz is also a common choice in making kitchen islands.

If you love cooking elaborate dishes, get a small pantry room set up as a part of the kitchen renovation. It helps by allowing you to keep all the kitchen supplies in a single accessible space. Whether you have space for these will be evident only after we inspect your kitchen for space availability.

• Appliances and Hardware
