If you want to improve your home, either to raise its resale value or simply improve your quality of life, there are few ways that are more effective than remodeling your kitchen. We depend on our kitchens every day to allow us to cook, store and enhance our food in a reliable and efficient way. But what if your kitchen is outdated or in a state of disrepair? Or what if your kitchen is perfectly fine on the outside but you’re simply not happy with an aspect of its design? No matter what your issue with your kitchen might be, RGC can help you today.

What issues would you most like to address in your kitchen?

• Do You Need More Storage Space? If so you might want to consider Kurtis’ line of stunning, custom-made cabinetry from great brands like KraftMaid, Wellborn and UltraCraft. Using these products we can increase the storage space of your kitchen dramatically, greatly improving its functionality.
  
• Does Its Aesthetic Not Match Your Ideal Look? Even if your kitchen is entirely functional, looks are extremely important. If your kitchen doesn’t match the aesthetic of your overall home, or you simply have a vision for the space which clashes with its current design, there’s no reason you should have to live with an unsatisfactory space a moment longer. We can tailor your kitchen to your aesthetic preferences with a host of countertop, flooring and lighting options available in a wide range of looks and styles.
  
• Is it Not Large or Open Enough? Every family is different. Perhaps your kitchen simply was not tailored to yours. For those who live alone or with a partner a smaller kitchen might be perfectly fine, but those with large families may require more space. Plus, there are other considerations. If you’re using your kitchen as a dining room you’ll need enough space for the table. If you have small children you’ll need to make sure there are no hazards or design choices which could make traveling through the kitchen difficult for them. RGC can help redesign your Kitchen’s layout to match your needs.
  
• Are Your Appliances Outdated? If so, RGC Kitchens has you covered with our remarkable line of kitchen appliances from trusted brands like KitchenAid, Magic Chef Maytag, Whirlpool, Amana and more. We have everything you could ever need, from dishwashers to refrigerators. Simply ask and we’ll find you the perfect product.

More than any other room in the house we place demands on the functionality of our bathrooms. They are full of key appliances, the kind which we rely on every single day. However, just because the main focus of the bathroom is on its functionality that doesn’t mean that its look should be ignored, or even marginalized. In many cases bathrooms are designed to serve their purpose in the most basic way possible, when in fact with a little work, and a skilled re-modeler, they can be one of the most beautiful rooms in your home. Here are a few reasons to consider remodeling your bathroom today.

• Your Bathroom’s Look Isn’t Ideal: Some of us take the look of our bathroom for granted, once again placing its functionality over its attractiveness. However, with a little bit of effort you can turn your kitchen into something absolutely beautiful. Kurtis Kitchen and Bath offers counter top and flooring options in a wide range of looks and styles to ensure that you’ll be able to find the perfect look for your bathroom. Remember, there’s no reason your bathroom shouldn’t look as great as the rest of your home. Kurtis can help.
  
• You Need to Alter Your Bathroom’s Functionality: Over time our needs change. If you’ve recently become disabled or had your mobility impaired, or there’s another person living in your home with the same issues, you can alter your bathroom to make it handicap accessible today. Simply redesigning the layout of your bathroom can do wonders for those with mobility concerns, and there’s plenty more RGC can do as well.
  
• Your Fixtures Could Be Improved: The fixtures present in a bathroom are obviously its centerpiece. The toilet, bathtub and bathroom sink are all of obvious importance. Therefore, if one of them is not performing at an adequate level you’ll want to replace it quickly with a more effective product. Having an inefficient toilet or tub can dramatically increase your monthly water bills, and if one of your items is leaking those bills can go up astronomically over time. That’s not to mention that damage to these items might impair their functionality, and considering their importance in our daily lives that’s a big problem. If your fixtures aren’t performing the way they should in any way, or if they’re simply just not up to date, Kurtis can help with brand new fixtures from brands like American Standard, Delta, Koehler, Jacuzzi, Toto and Mountain. With our help you can have the most effective, efficient, state-of-the-art fixtures available today.
