Revitalizing a kitchen or bathroom doesn’t have to be prohibitively expensive. Have your skilled painter paint the cabinetry. Then replace the hardware, knobs, etc. Your kitchen or bathroom will look as good as new!

Your home renovation store carries very affordable plastic laminate countertops of various sizes and in attractive designs. Some modification might be required to make them fit your kitchen or bathroom, but it’s nothing a good carpenter or handyman can’t handle. Unless the rental is very high end, forget about granite countertops. Tenants won’t expect granite countertops, but they will have other expectations.

Make sure your kitchen has a built-in dishwasher. Tenants love dishwashers. No room for a built-in? Before starting any major changes to the layout in your kitchen, ask a few good carpenters for their ideas. They’ll know how to solve your problem most economically.
