Your kitchen décor might be outdated, in ill repair, or need to be upgraded to remain current with today’s trends. Whatever your reason for wanting something new, it's important to know exactly what your expected result is. For instance, changing from a rustic, farmhouse kitchen with an island to a contemporary and modern area with optimal floor space could be just what you need. Décor can make your entire home feel different.

Many of the same ideas can be put into play in your bathroom as well. Depending on specific nuances, you might require updated lighting, electrical outlets, or added counter space or shelving. It’s important to think about what will work best for you and your family, and then work towards that specific goal.

Some remodeling projects can be daunting, and others require some form of repair before the actual project begins. If this is your current situation, it can be helpful to note that our team can create smaller, more manageable projects, which can be finished over time, to make it easier on your household and your budget alike. To find out more about the many ways we can help you create the most memorable remodeling experience, be sure, and visit us at your convenience.

The modern kitchen, the classic kitchen, or a Seattle design?

The goal of our kitchen design team is to understand and draw inspiration from a variety of influences. While the style of a modern European kitchen may appeal to you, it may not be the ideal design for your Ballard bungalow or Queen Anne craftsman home. To preserve both the integrity of your home and the return on investment your kitchen remodel or bathroom update can ensure, let’s consider a more traditional kitchen design or a soothing, relaxing bathroom design to help you escape the stresses of daily life in Seattle.

That said, a European kitchen style might be perfect for your Kenmore or Shoreline mid-century modern architecture. At LeBlanc, we want to honor your dream home and your vision to bring out the best of what your remodeled home can offer.

Leblanc is dedicated to getting you that that award-winning kitchen look. Our team of kitchen and bath designers use several different influences to create your custom kitchen. LeBlanc Floors & Interiors’ diverse design team will draw from modern, contemporary, transitional, traditional, and classic design trends. This will help you achieve your dream home improvement goal.

Our kitchen remodel team will guide you through the process to select your semi-custom or custom cabinetry. Our top of the line cabinet builders guarantee to offer several options to fit any style, floor plan, & budget.

Whether remodeling your whole home, small kitchen, or simply giving you a more efficient bathroom space. It is wise to work with a trained and experienced designer who is trained in specifying the fixtures, options, and hardware inside the cabinets.

What’s the difference in cabinet construction? Well, that’s a great question. Many cabinet manufacturers offer standard options like particle board or plywood boxes, while some only build with plywood. Some manufacturers standardize slow-close hardware while others offer it as an upgraded option. At LeBlanc, we have chosen to cover the bases by supporting cabinet lines from manufacturers that allow for any of these choices to be considered. Your project, your budget, our responsibility to help you navigate and select what best fits your needs.

Return on investment

Let’s face it: When kitchen planning ROI is a big factor in a remodel. Return on your investment should be a consideration regardless of how long you plan to live in the home, however, the longer you live in the home the bigger the return—assuming the property values in our area continue to hold firm and increase. How do you know when enough is enough? Here are some tips:

• Look at the value of comparable homes around your area that are similar square footage and style to your home.
• Visit open houses in your neighborhood to see what they’ve done in upgrades and remodels.
• Don’t over-build for your neighborhood. If the majority of the homes in your neighborhood have granite countertops, don’t put in laminate. By contrast, if many of them have laminate, consider a solid-surface like Hi-Macs or Corian. It is more cost-effective than granite or quartz but it’s an upgrade from laminate.
• Metal backsplash tile was a hot trend a few years ago, and still has a place in some homes, but it isn’t necessarily worth the extra money, when you can set your home apart with a classic subway tile shape made from glass.
• When other homes around you are installing laminate floors, look to the cost of “real” hardwood. It’s often comparable (if the laminate floors are being properly prepped and installed) and offers a much stronger ROI (2019 suggested ROI on solid, site-finished hardwood floors was 106%, according to NAR, as quoted by NWFA).
