How a Handyman Can Help You with Kitchen Updates

Whether you want to change fixtures such as faucets or lights or upgrade your cabinets and old appliances, creating a functional and beautiful space can feel a little overwhelming and time-consuming. And it can feel even more challenging when you don't know who to trust to complete these types of projects.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, know that you're not alone. Many homeowners struggle with finding the time and resources to tackle improvements to their kitchens. Whatever your concerns, an experienced handyman can help you every step of the way.

Read on to learn more about how a professional handyman can help you with your kitchen updates!

 

Kitchen Lighting

One of the most important kitchen updates a handyman can help you with is kitchen lighting installation. Whether you are looking to install overhead lights, pendant lights, under-cabinet lights, or track lighting, a handyman can not only provide expert advice on the best options to suit your style and needs, but he can also help you install them correctly, so you don’t have to worry about navigating electrical work you aren’t comfortable with or experienced in handling.

 

Kitchen Faucets

Upgraded faucets are one of the most common kitchen updates people make to improve their space. New faucets can enhance the kitchen’s functionality and come in a variety of styles to suit your preference. A handyman can assist with properly connecting a new faucet to the preexisting plumbing system to ensure there are no leaks or other issues down the line.

 

Cabinet Installation

Replacing your cabinets is one of the most valuable kitchen updates you can add to your home. They not only improve its appearance and increase the resale value of your home, but they can also improve the efficiency of your space. New cabinets can optimize storage and often include:

• Built-in spice racks
• Extension drawers
• Hideaway trash and recycling bins

If you’re ready to change out your old, worn-down cabinets with new ones, a handyman can help you with the installation process—making it easy and stress-free. They can assist with choosing the right cabinets for your kitchen, measuring and cutting them to size, and installing them securely.

 

Countertop Replacement

After years of chopping onions and preparing meals on your old countertops, you may find some chips, dents, and scratches have made their way onto the surface. Discovering those nicks and marks can inspire you to replace your old countertops with a more modern, durable option.

Whether you’re considering upgrading to granite, marble, or quartz—or keeping it simple with a nice laminate—a handyman can help! They can help you select the right material and install it perfectly to give your kitchen a fresh, modern look.

 

Appliance Upgrades

Most people have experienced using their appliances until they’ve completely worn out from years of use. So whether it’s time for you to install a new dishwasher, refrigerator, or stove, a handyman can help you with the process. In addition, they can help you with the electrical and plumbing work, ensuring your new appliances are installed correctly and functioning smoothly.

 

Backsplash Installation

Another update you won’t want to forget to include when it comes to improving your kitchen is a backsplash. Backsplashes not only add texture and color to your kitchen, but they also serve to protect the walls behind your sink and stove from stains and food-related splatters.

A handyman can assist you with your new backsplash by helping you choose the right type of tiles, cutting them to size, and installing them in a way that complements your kitchen’s décor.

 

Flooring Updates

If you’re looking to replace your outdated flooring with something new, a handyman can help you prepare your subfloor for the new flooring installation. They can check for any damages, make necessary repairs, and ensure the subfloor is leveled and debris-free. This is crucial to ensure the new flooring is placed correctly and lasts longer.

Once the subfloor is prepared, they can install the new flooring in your kitchen. They have the tools and equipment to ensure the flooring is installed accurately, without any gaps or uneven areas. They can also install the baseboards or trim around the edges to give a finished look to the floor.

 

Painting and Touch-Ups

If you’re tired of looking at the same colors on your kitchen walls or you find marks and scrapes along the edges, a handyman can help you update your kitchen with a fresh coat of paint and touch-ups. They can help you choose the right color scheme, prep the walls, and paint them professionally to give your kitchen a fresh look.

 

When it comes to kitchen updates, it's important to work with a handyman who has the necessary experience and skills to provide you with the space of your dreams.
