months of going back and forth on this. our kitchen is functional, but a little old fashioned and every time I cook I think of things I’d change. the layout is awkward, storage is limited, and it just doesn’t feel like the rest of the house any more

the problem is i cannot figure out if this is a good time to spend on a remodel or if we should wait. we are not planning to sell anytime soon but i also know a good kitchen adds value. the quotes i have gotten vary a lot and i am not sure what a reasonable budget looks like for san diego specifically

Has anyone done a whole kitchen makeover and thought it was worth it in the end? and how did you find a contractor you felt you could actually trust?

Genuinely curious if others in Delhi/NCR are dealing with the same thing.
I feel like my technician is on speed dial at this point. Every few months it's something like filter replacements, part changes, or being told the TDS levels here are unusually hard on the system. I've tried a couple of different brands and the pattern has been pretty consistent across both.
For those who've been running the same purifier for 2+ years in Delhi what's your honest experience been like?
Is frequent servicing just the price you pay for living here, or have some of you found systems that genuinely hold up better? Would love actual long-term user experiences, not just what looks good on paper.
