Final Touches for a BRRRR - Range Hood, Central AC, GFCI Outlets

Darryl H.
Posted

Happy New Year to everyone! I recently closed on my first home purchase last November. It is a duplex in North Linden (growing C neighborhood) and I plan to cashout refi towards the end of the year. I am doing a full cosmetic renovation - interior paint, new bathroom, new kitchen. 

I have the option right now to try to add a ductless range hood. The attached picture shows the range is in a corner by itself with the doorbell above it directly in the middle. This sounds like it could be an expensive installation. I might need to relocate the door bell and need a new outlet up there. Maybe we can run an extension cord behind the wall down to the lower outlet.

I was thinking a range hood with a new floating cabinet could work there and a hole can be cut to place the cabinet over the door bell. My contractor said a new cabinet might not match the other cabinets we painted over. I also see wall mount range hoods like . I think this would look better, but it would require the door bell to be relocated. 

Would mismatched cabinets affect my appraisal value? Is this worth the additional costs for relocating the door bell and a new outlet? Maybe a range hood would look awkward in this corner, would that affect my appraisal value? I am really just prioritizing the appraisal value, I would appreciate any of your thoughts on this decision!   :)
