We Exist to Stop the Sledgehammer
Each year tons of construction waste is added to our landfills when much of it can be reused and given a new, beautiful life.
Homeowners typically discard cabinets, countertops, lighting and appliances that may no longer fit their needs, filling landfills and squandering potentially tens of thousands of dollars that can be added back into their renovation budget.
Like many remodelers we went into our own kitchen renovation project, high-end glossy magazines in hand, and were overcome with sticker shock. With a majority of kitchen budgets going to cabinetry and appliances, our champagne wishes were out of reach. By purchasing a complete kitchen from another family embarking on their own remodeling project, we ended up with the luxury kitchen of our dreams. The cabinets and appliances were slotted for disposal, and now they decorate the heart of our home.
Sell Your Old Kitchen for Cash
Are you considering remodeling your kitchen? If so, I bet you didn’t realize you could sell your old kitchen for cash! This is a great option that most residential homeowners don’t even realize exists, but is a rapidly growing trend.
When homeowners upgrade their kitchens, a large portion of the costs go toward the removal and disposal of the old kitchen cabinets, appliances, and countertops among other parts of the kitchen. This means that a perfectly good kitchen ends up in a landfill, generating millions of tons of waste each year. In fact, discarded kitchens comprise a large portion of all trash in US landfills.
What if there was an easy way to recoup some of your remodeling costs and simultaneously promote eco-friendly practices in the process? By selling your used kitchen, you decrease the harm caused by trashing old kitchens and earn some extra cash along the way.
Can I Really Sell My Kitchen?
Yes! Buying, gutting, fitting, and installing a new kitchen is time-consuming and expensive. Many property owners want to upgrade their kitchens but don’t have the resources. They’ve found that buying used, functioning kitchens from homeowners who are recycling their luxury kitchens is an appealing – and far more affordable – alternative.
Purchasing someone else’s kitchen enables other homeowners to have their own luxury kitchen without draining their bank accounts. This is a growing market as everyone realizes the value of recycling used kitchens. Buyers find acquiring another homeowner’s existing kitchen eliminates the stress of choosing colors, designs, and other cosmetic factors that go into luxury kitchen design because the work has already been done with your crafted kitchen. You can essentially present kitchen renovation ideas and save them the expense of working with a designer. Bottom line is that while it’s old to you, it’s a new kitchen to them and might be exactly what they’re shopping for in a new kitchen. So, consider selling your kitchen.
