This Kitchen in my Income property was outdated and SUPER closed off before we removed a wall making it open concept and expanded the storage! Every wall was a different color but now it's fresh, modern, and ready for whoever's got it next! I think we made a TON of equity on this kitchen makeover but I wanna hear what you think, let me know down in the comments!!!

MODERN BUILDS
Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.

[@zakkaryzoah1386]

You’re lucky to have such supportive parents. I’m sure they’re very proud of you.

[@kennethmburke]

Great work overall. One big error - "duct tape" is actually not rated for ducting/vent applications. You need a foil backed tape that is rated for HVAC ducting. Likely not an issue since you're just exhausting cooktop fumes, but very important in heating applications or ventilation from a high heat source (dryers, furnaces, etc).

[@VRVitaly]

you beat me to this.

[@dragoness0420]

that's actually good to know! i don't work in HVAC and would have just assumed that something labeled "duct tape" would be okay to use on all ducts. thanks!

[@keco185]

@@dragoness0420 duct tape was originally called duck tape and made with duck cloth which provided water repellant properties. It wasn't necessarily made for use on air ducts. The name sorta changed over time though

Omg i would spend for labor for a bit to help with my non skills even end up with 15,000 I have no complains at all

[@rafaelthomas4174]

Hey Mike, I'm interested to know how much the total cost would have been if you had to pay for the appliances, sink and floors, you really should include both prices, just for reference for those of us that don't have the luxury of being gifted those items during a remodel. However, for spits and giggles based on the magic of the googles here's what I found: Hisense K2 Kitchen Appliance Package cost: $3000 - $4000 (Lowes) Actually not bad IMO Lefton 304 Sink cost: $650.00 (Amazon) Not bad either, I immediately assumed it would have been well over a thousand dollars...even though $650 for a kitchen sink is still kinda pricey. LVP Flooring approx cost: $3.00 - $5.00 per Sq/Ft (Direct from manufacturer, but do your own research) So not counting the flooring we're at about $9150.00 in approximate total cost. You're welcome.

Exactly, title was misinformation.

[@dittohead7044]

Wow. So how much in reality do you think it increased in value?

[@rafaelthomas4174]

@@dittohead7044 I have no idea however generally a completely remodeled kitchen and bath could increase the properties value up to $25K. Using higher end appliances, cabinetry, flooring and countertops should far exceed adding $25K to the value of the property.

[@zimmejoc]

MAJOR props for venting the microwave properly to the outside. I can't tell you how many brand new homes I have toured where the vent goes into the cabinet above and stops! However, GFCI outlets should have been used in the kitchen as opposed to outlets with USB ports on them.

If it has the new GFI breakers, then no, it is not needed. We did not see that part of the video. So not enough information. If there is no GFI breaker, then yes, GFCI outlets would be used.

[@julieburkhardt61]

great,except for the gray tone floors. i like to see classic wood/ neutral colors for floors. it's a little complicated, but undertones are key. i learned about plastic cornee bead and spray adhesive!! Glad you reused items as much as possible. love the microwave hood solution! good job!

So excited to get another "Full Room" Renovation video out!! We've come a long way with this flip and there's only 1 bathroom left before we're all done!!! Let me know what you think the equity increase (or decrease 😜) might be!! Also thanks a ton for watching!

[@queencityminis]

Add hardware to the cabinet doors and drawers. They're not only jewelry for the cabinets, but they protect the cabinets and drawers because people don't have to yank them open by grabbing the corner of the cabinet. It also makes the kitchen look more finished and expensive. I'd line the cabinets in drawer bottoms as well to protect from spills. This will keep the cabinets in great shape for much longer.

[@lynetteyoung9777]

[@flipperdoo22]

In reality, the actual cost of renovations is $5000 + the provided flooring, appliances and sink which is approximately $5000. The total cost is actually $10000 for the renovation

[@crwlh6721]

💯 I came to say the same thing. The title of this vid is misleading bc the actual investment would be at least double, possibly more.

[@Sewfat]

The countertop was probably provided too. If they spent money on everything they probably would have paid around 15k and gotten 15k back not including their time.

[@kaimann69]

[@Travelin_Gal]

⁠​⁠@@Sewfatthe counter tops were paid for - $2700 The floors, appliances and sink were provided at no charge.

[@darlingdeb7010]

It definitely depends on where they got the appliances. I love going to scratch & dent places for a huuggeee discount. Especially since the scratches and debts are usually extremely small and easily hidden or on the back. I've also had amazing luck on fb market place or neighborhood apps in wealthier areas. They switch out appliances like it's no big deal.

Kudos to you Mike! I think you really planned this Reno well. Demo everything first, paint every room, floor etc.

[@krisgosdismoyer1734]

it really came out great! One suggestion for using the wood slat accoustic paneling. I would want to float any MDF product above the floor 1/8" (you could add wood or pvc trim to the bottom if you want it to reach the floor.) The reason is that MDF has a tendency to bulge when it gets wet which can happen when the floors get mopped.

[@Joe-ih7fn]

You didn't mention how much it was to take out that wall and add a new support beam. I know it's not part of the kitchen but in my opinion, it is still a contributing factor to the overall look of the kitchen. overall, it looks great

[@kirksinclair6088]

I would have removed the cabinets to the right of the sink and placed the DW in the corner by the sink. As is the DW is a tripping hazard. I would have moved the jetout cabnets over to where the fridg is and placed the fridg in the corner of the lazysusan. One thought would be using a burcherblock utility bench on wheels like in homedepot for more work surface.

[@lechatbotte.]

It’s wonderful your Dad could help you. A great father. Don’t forget Father’s Day is in June

[@logmegadeth72]

I enjoyed the in-depth video but the $5k budget seems disingenuous to me since you got the appliances for free. Those are probably at least $3k so that’s a pretty big chunk you’re leaving out. It’d be one thing if you sold the old appliances to help cover the cost of them…

[@seaneendelong8065]

Buying BEFORE the latest price spikes I spent 2500 for a similar fridge alone, another 1500-2k for the stove and dw. Let's not talk about sinks, all the various fixtures, countertops, flooring. Very costly.

[@CarmenMarie13]

Looks great! I like all of the extra storage space. The sink is nice. I can't believe that the countertops were only $2,700. That's a great deal, and they look really nice. Thank you for showing the outlets as I'll be updating mine to one's like yours after I paint. Glad your dad was able to help!

[@dragoness0420]

as someone who will likely be a life-long renter, i can appreciate that you didn't cut corners during the reno/repairs. i've experienced so many dodgy "repairs" in my 20 years of renting, so it's nice to see someone who does it right and not only cares about their property, but also their renters. I think the only think I would have done differently is matching the metal in the light fixture to the kitchen faucet; either both brass finish of the light fixture, or both that brushed metal finish of the faucet. that's just a personal aesthetic thing though. great work!

[@susanrenken7317]

Yes, all the trouble to have floors match, cabinet match, but finishes on sinks and light fixtures not. But I do love the back splash. Not a fan of the sink. Too glitzy.

An FYI for your next project: The things you were able to remove without damaging (like those linoleum planks, the door you removed, and old sink) can be donated to Habitat for Humanity's ReStore so it is getting reused instead of getting trashed. Just a thought. The donations are tax deductible like donations to other charities. Also since major builder donate their excess materials to the ReStore, it is a good place to look for deals on new building items like doors, paint, tiles, etc.

[@DRJoe100]

A detailed non biased review of praise and constructive criticism Great job on : -sink & appliance choice -counter top color & cut style (waterfall edges aren’t timeless and on their way out) -keeping cabinets wood, you can always paint them but wood is higher end and more timeless, especially since the routered parts don’t look ultra 80’s & 90’s. People that said paint them don’t understand that it’s poorer and white is super basic that it’s already going out cuz plebes are doing it thus no longer high end unless the cabinet doors are ultra high end timeless detailed -adding the cabinet backboard in matching oak was a win and the 50’s clean line will help it be more modern -great that you didn’t add draw/cabinets pulls, most go out of style and catch on pants etc so they’re annoying and if you want to change them in the future the hole might not align up with the new style thus messing up the wood finish after being filled. Knobs are expensive and unnecessary. In the future if you want to increase the value: -add matching shorter cabinets above all the upper cabinets and a piece of crown (white or wood is ideal) that goes all the way to the roof), it’s a small investment with huge impact. That doesn’t collect dust and prevents tacky decor from being placed on top of cabinets and adding it will make the room seem taller and more grand. -switch out the microwave for a high end looking fan/vent cover.. you can diy it and save $1,000’s , do a timeless high end look (maybe even axe all cabinets above stove) -the cabinets above fridge need to be deeper and move the fridge to the wall and create a similar counter space with 2 upper cabinets .. or get more storage by doing a long cabinet(or 2) floor to ceiling with pull outs for storing broom or pull out shelves for food storage etc) Either option you need to add a oak board to the side of fridge to give built in vibes (make sure you have air gaps around the fridge either above etc for fridge motor air , then u don’t need to buy a built in) , you don’t want to be able to see that ugly unfinished non matching fridge side.. Horrible choice on : -backsplash.. what is this the 80’s /early 90’s?? Eww. A 4” x 2” white subway tile (not the tiny but smaller than the old school ones) is inexpensive and timeless and no metal edging, there’s white porcelain edging that’s matching, maybe go crazy and tile in a white square above the stove with a raised framed edge and the inside in a squared tile but in a diamond orientation or something similar but all in the same color and finish as the subway tiles. -before fixing the backsplash add a waterline in the wall and pot filler to the wall above the stove and match the finish of the sink faucet. -illegal non hdmi outlets in wet areas (bathroom/kitchen), what if a fire starts and your insurance doesn’t cover it ? -changing out the floors.. should’ve left it since it matched the tone of the cabinets or you could’ve gone with a darker semi warm stain (you generally want darker at the floor level and lighter tones as u look up to help your eyes flow and the kitchen feel taller, darker tones up high makes it seem shorter and mid level like dark countertops is even worse cuz it cuts up the line of sight) anyways you keep the floor color in a warmer wood (brown) hue… you don’t mix grey wood floors with gold wood cabinets 😬 😬 -going with a goldish metal above the sink… you can mix metal finishes but not when it’s only one thing, it looks horrible.. it’s also a weird orangey yellow so not quite gold nor a more expensive brass (yes brass is better than trendy black so keep the 80’s/90’s doorknobs 😂, it’s super expensive to replace and black again like white kitchens is on the pleeb level so no longer in.. Grey wood nonsense has been out for awhile especially in flooring unless ur doing the poor southern farmer look with other outdoor materials. -open concept is already outdated, getting rid of the wall was an unnecessary expense and you didn’t fix the balance by changing the island (a couple options on how). People don’t necessarily want guests to see inside their kitchen (potentially messy) all the time .

[@philshock3805]

YOU may have spent $5k, but with the provided goods and services, the true cost is probably closer to $10k if not more. Not discounting your hard work (including the channel), but you should also include those costs as well. The updates look good but other than the hideous colors, I thought the original kitchen looked pretty good as it was. I'd kill for that much counter space. lol

regarding the equity gain -- not sure what the real estate market is like in OK but in SoCal it's BONKERS! here, you could easily list that home for AT LEAST +25K after the reno, if not +40K. the final sale price of course depends on the buyer, the RE agent, comps, etc. but overall, excellent job. well done. definite net gain in the final tally.
