A kitchen remodel can be extensive the same way it can be cut and dry—the determiners are usually price and preference. Generally speaking, a higher price means more profit—if you’re pricing things correctly. You can achieve a higher price by raising your prices, but without complementing service upgrades the hike is risky (not to mention the ethics are dubious). Another way is upselling those upgrades.
In the latest Kitchen Trend Report from the New Home Trends Institute of John Burns Real Estate Consulting (JBREC)—typically available only to members though Pro Remodeler was aloud an inside look—we see data that not only lend insights into what kitchen elements homeowners would consider replacing simply for design purposes, but also who is mostly like to replace them and in what type of area they live.
