        "text": "A kitchen addition expands the physical footprint of your home outward, whereas an interior kitchen remodel reconfigures space within your existing walls. A remodel works well if your current square footage meets your needs and only requires updated cabinets, countertops, or layout changes. A full addition involves pouring a new foundation, framing exterior walls, roofing, and tying in utilities to create new floor area. While an addition provides significant space for large islands, walk-in pantries, or open-concept living, it involves exterior construction work, longer schedules, and higher investment than remodeling inside existing boundaries.",
