Kitchen Remodels by Unique Builders

Since the Home Show last month, we have gave out several bids on kitchen remodels. Seems like everyone has differences.

Lets start with the basics. Simple Kitchen 10 by 12 standard 30 inch uppers. The owner wants new cabinets, granite top and new sink.....

1. cabinet cost 3500.00
2. granite 2350.00
3. sink 250.00

Total 6100.00 These are some of the quotes people are showing me, and are saying this is the price that they can get it done for. Wow!

Here are the real facts for a real builder to do this job just at a basic level. Now I know, at least I think most people want a new faucet with that sink and maybe a garbage dis. too. How about some fresh paint, maybe a full back splash? New dishwasher, maybe a self cleaning oven? Okay, enough of that, we all get the point. Oh, one last thing is don't forget the demo and clean-up.

Here are the numbers for a basic kitchen remodel completely done right.

Lets just say 12K is about where it should be, add full overlay cabinets like the one's in the book of pictures you may have, add 30%.

Our typical kitchen remodels which generally include new flooring, some electrical, new plumbing features, appliances, granite tops, full back splashes,middle of the road cabinets and all freshly painted rooms average between 34K to 55K. This is a realistic budget for a real remodeled kitchen.

We have been doing this for such a long time and it just amazes me that some people fall for the old see this picture? oh, by the way that's an extra.

In this crazy R.E market, remodeling is the way to go if you like where you live but want a new home feeling.

I hope this helps someone if they are thinking about remodeling. And always have a complete list or scope of work you want done and get at least 3 bids.

Have a wonderful day,
