Do I Update or Totally Remodel My Kitchen? There are several factors you must consider in this situation. Will the room be up to code when finished? How is it going to function and look if you update? Will it have the features and look a totally new kitchen will have? What do comparable kitchens in your area look like and how are they equipped? Look towards the future, when it comes time to sell will the kitchen be an asset or a liability. Should you seek the advice of a professional?
