One of the easiest ways to boost the value of any home is a kitchen or bathroom remodel. But what exactly does that entail and what should one expect to see happen? If you intend to DIY aspects of the renovation then understanding the process takes on additional importance. Even when going solo, you still need to call in help for professional services such as plumbing.

If, like the majority of people, you hand over all responsibility to professionals, you will need to run through some pre-construction steps such as locating, vetting and hiring designers and contractors (or find a design build firm which handles both the design and construction phases). Beyond this, while you do not need to undertake any of the work yourself, being knowledgeable about the right way to remodel a kitchen can help you better plan and schedule activities around it.
