Rockridge home owners tend to invest in high-end kitchen remodels which reflect the average home prices of over $1.5 million here in our neighborhood. But after checking prices with local contractors for a "traditional" kitchen remodel, this couple decided to assemble an Ikea kitchen on their own with some help from a contractor for gutting, plumbers and an electrician, and a company that fabricated the countertop after they had assembled the Ikea cabinets (while watching TV). The creative use of upcycled street signs for back splashes was a big hit among everyone who passed through on the Rockridge Kitchen Tour. As a fan of stick figure iconography, I loved them! The biggest investment for the kitchen remodel was the "servery" folding window that opens up to the patio. It opens on a rail instead of some folding windows that have a large lip at the bottom. So the maximum amount of space and light is exposed. They said the window was an $8,000 investment (and worth every penny...remember pennies?) Got questions about real estate, kitchen remodeling to sell, investing outside of California or home ownership? Just ask. https://www.compass.com/agents/susie-wyshak/ Susie Wyshak, East Bay Realtor at Compass 510-269-7051 susie.wyshak@compass.com DRE 02144226
