Make Your Dream Kitchen a Reality

President and CEO Mike Dodd recently invited KC Live Co-Host Joel Nichols into his kitchen to discuss remodeling goals, the process of selecting appliances and cabinetry and updates to appliance design and technology. Read the key discussion points below, or watch the full segment here »

It’s a well-known fact that families often end up gathering in the kitchen during the holidays. For the Dodds, their kitchen has always been a cook-style kitchen, as they are constantly entertaining guests.

Any kitchen has to complete a number of tasks on a daily basis, so the following updates were made in this particular remodel to keep kitchen functionality high:

  • Double ovens were relocated to a more open location.
  • A connection was created between the utility room and the kitchen to allow for more counter space.
  • A steam oven, which assists in providing moisture and flavor to foods when heating them up, was installed on top of the double ovens.
  • The dishwasher was moved up off the floor; this is an update we always suggest to clients when the floor plans allow for it.
  • Aesthetic enhancements were added through the installation of glass tile up the wall and around the ventilation hood.
  • Traditional white cabinets were installed to create an elegant and beautiful feel in the room while allowing more options for the decorations surrounding them.

Any of these updates can be installed in your dream kitchen as well, so long as the floor plan allows it! The key takeaway in any kitchen remodel: form follows function. We design kitchens in a way that assures it offers functionality, while still aesthetically entertaining and hosting guests.

No matter what your kitchen dreams and plans are, work with your contractor to identify the specific goals of the remodel. These goals should drive what appliances and cabinets are selected, and where they are placed in the kitchen.

Your Dream Home is Within Reach

We hope you are enjoying the holiday season in your home with friends, family and other guests! December will bring even more traffic through your home with multiple occasions to gather and celebrate. Are there projects you have in mind that would help you obtain your dream home during these festivities? What does your dream home look like?

A 2017 Houzz & Home study found that the living/family room is the go-to remodel with the most time and resources allocated toward the project with the master bedroom following after.

The study also shared the top renovation triggers for first-time home buyers, repeat home buyers and long-term owners. First-time home buyers and repeat home buyers – an astounding 86 percent on average – both wanted to customize their new home, while the majority of long-term owners waited to have the time and/or finances to complete the remodel.

At Wineteer Construction, we listen to our clients and provide constructive feedback based off years of experience. We make the whole process as seamless as possible through proper planning, budgeting and scheduling. 

The same Houzz study discussed the top challenges for homeowners going through remodels, from staying on budget to planning for the unexpected and more.

Clients who work with Wineteer Construction will receive superb customer service and constant communication. Our online portal allows clients to see every step of the project and manage any change orders for when the unexpected occurs.

Choosing the Right Kitchen Remodeler

Thinking of a kitchen remodel in 2017? Knowing the right questions to ask of potential contractors prior to starting a project is the first key to success.

Besides starting out with the usual questions about project timing and cost, start asking about references, credentials and business practices/processes. Here are a few questions the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) recommends one asks before signing on the dotted line:

  1. How long have you been in business?
  2. Who will be assigned as project supervisor for the job?
  3. What is your approach to a project such as this?
  4. How many projects like mine have you completed in the past year?
  5. Can you provide a list of references from those projects?
  6. Have you or your employees been certified in remodeling or had any special training or education, such as earning a Certified Remodeler (CR) or Certified Kitchen & Bath Remodeler (CKBR) designation?

Remodeling can be a daunting undertaking. Asking the right questions are a starting point to hiring the right remodeling pro. At Wineteer Construction, we approach each home remodeling project with are client’s end goal in mind. The success of an overall project is built on the foundation of quality and trust.

Kitchen Remodeling Trends

As 2017 is quickly approaching, Wineteer Construction CEO, Mike Dodd, weighs in on a few kitchen remodeling trends to consider before starting on your next project.

#1: Grey is the new white. Even though white continues to be the number one homeowner’s pick, the use of softer greys and neutral colors, combined with rich wood tones, helps to bring warmth and sophistication to one of the most heavily used rooms in your home.

#2: Accessibility is within reach. Recent National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) surveys show that having accessible/universal design features in kitchens is growing and here to stay! This includes side-opening ovens at counter height. You don’t have to reach up or bend down to fetch your holiday turkey, just comfortably slide it out. This tweak makes cooking so much more ergonomic and accessible for everyone.

#3: The right flooring is a step in the right direction. Wood and ceramic/porcelain tile continue to be the two most popular flooring materials. Both materials are versatile, long lasting and are easy to match the overall design.

Traditional or Modern? The Latest Kitchen Trends Allow for Both

The newest design trends found in renovated kitchens finally answer the age-old question: traditional or modern? The answer…why pick just one, when a customized plan can incorporate both, with a unique, fun and sophisticated style.

The days of minimalistic, sleek, dark wood kitchens has passed, and given way to a new combination of both shabby and chic, with the use of whites, creams and light grays. Kitchen renovations around the country are contrasting stainless steel appliances with one-of-a-kind vintage decorations or restored, rustic antiques. You only need subtle hints of these more classic elements to pop against the modern, clean lines of newly installed, monochromatic cabinets.

Another key is to experiment with oversized islands, tables or chairs. Pick pieces with ornate legs or use crown molding to contrast with a brightly painted wall or backsplash. Finish the look by adding vintage pieces to glass-framed cabinets and hanging modern metal or glass lighting fixtures with geometric shapes.

But this year, we are challenging you to do more than sweep all the corners and dust all the crevices.

It’s time for more than achieving a spotless room. It’s time for a total reorganization. It’s time for an improvement that will last.

We always find a way to increase the storage in kitchens and closets or add extra space in a child’s room. We even know how to protect and display your most treasured possessions—perhaps within a customized wine cellar.

Home is where the heart is—and the heart of a home is the kitchen.

Physically, the kitchen is located at the center of most houses. And emotionally, the kitchen is also at the center of a home. Friends and family members gather in the kitchen to relax from the stress of daily pressures, enjoy good food and good company. Basically, the kitchen is where you go for some simple love.

Wineteer Kitchen So how does this wonderful kitchen oasis turn into an overwhelming nightmare? Heartache happens when homeowners try to show their kitchen a little love with a do-it-yourself makeover.
