I spent $5,000 to gain $25,000 in Equity!!! DIY MODERN KITCHEN RENOVATION

How To Remodel and outdated kitchen into a modern masterpiece :)

This Kitchen in my Income property was outdated and SUPER closed off before we removed a wall making it open concept and expanded the storage!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.

Loved the video but I think the best part is seeing you and your Dad working so well together. Kudos to Dad 😊

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).

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

Shoutout to Gary for his continued help on this house and for raising an awesome son. We appreciate you and your beautiful wife. The kitchen looks fantastic ❤❤

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.

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.

Under cabinet lighting really helps illuminate your counters and adds some terrific mood lighting in the kitchen.

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

Well done matching your tile corners!! That little bit of extra care adds a huge amount of perceived value. 🎉 Opening up the doorway was another great move. Love it!

My only suggestion would be that the refrigerator looks like a behemoth being on the end of that short wall. I'm not in the room with you, and I recognize it's important to make sure the doors on the appliance have room to swing open without knocking into a cabinet or wall. But the fridge just looks SO oversized in relation to everything else. I wonder if there could have been a way to try and build a nook/open closet situation so it hid the discrepancy in depth. Just some reflections and suggestions for next time. Wonderful work all around!

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.

[ShaneCarrigan]

Shoutout Gary! So many clutch tips here, cant get over the orange peel hack with the brush! Absolutely nailed this kitchen

[lynetteyoung]

You are fortunate to have such an awesome Dad.

[juliebee]

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!

[mlindamccarthy-boley]

How NICE to have ur dad to help you!!! I miss my dad!

[keithreay]

GARY!!! Shoutout to all of the wonderful parents out there. Like all great buildings, people that have solid foundations tend to stand tall as well.

[jamieharris]

Nice, but the floor is a no go with the cabinets...

[leelulady]

Aren't you supposed to use heat resistant foil tape on the oven venting joints? Maybe my dad taught me wrong.

[sabrina_sp]

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

The first video I saw of yours was a patio install. It was beautifully done. You have come such a long way and as always your work is professional, tasteful and beautifully done. Hats off to you, Mike. Hi five to your dad for being such great parent to help you out so much. It is very nice to see you two working together. I look forward to see many more flips.
