Whether planning your dream kitchen -- or just dreaming about it, BobVila.com, your online handyman, has just launched an easy-to-use Kitchen Budgeter Tool that will keep any renovator's spending on track.
With a few questions upfront, the tool gets an idea of how big a project you're considering, how much you think you should spend based on your goals, whether you'll need a major or minor renovation, and if you will be working with professional help. Then it creates a customized budget and list of tips to help meet -- and shape -- your vision.
With guidance from NBKA-approved professionals, BobVila.com has created the first online kitchen budget tool to help homeowners stay within a desired budget. Didn't know plumbing would cost you that much? Had no idea you would need to budget for permits? This tool breaks down every little piece of a kitchen remodel -- so you can be prepared -- and won't overspend. And if you worked out a discount, even better, the BobVila.com Kitchen Budgeter will let you track the money you've saved, so you can apply it to another area -- or put it back in your pocket.
