How do you know if you're Is there a formula for
figuring this out? We know
exactly how much our materials
will cost (appliances, tile,
cabinets, etc.) but have no
idea what to expect when they
give us an estimate for labor.
Any help would be appreciated!

Definitely get other bids. However, you do want to be comfortable with the contractor you let into your home, and to be around your family. Sometimes, the lowest price isn't the way to go, and it's worth paying a little more for the comfort factor of feeling like he will do a good job. It's impossible to say what the labor should be, since there are TONS of factors in remodeling a kitchen. When you get another bid, make sure - AND THIS IS IMPORTANT - that you are pricing out EXACTLY the same items with all contractors! This means the same appliances, same sink, same faucet, same tile, same countertop - everything. Make sure each contractor includes the same items - demo, new sheetrock, electrical work (be specific about what you are adding), plumbing, etc. If you don't compare apples to apples, the additional bids you get will be completely irrelevent. |

My coworker used the one in Taylor, MI. She paid about $10K and was happy with the results. It's pretty much luck of the draw because Home Depot uses subcontractors. |

Load all the stuff in a truck and take it to the City Dump. You will have to pay a small fee. You can also call the City Dump and ask for a bulky pick up of your stuff, they may also charge a small fee. If the debris is too much, then rent a bin from the City and when it is loaded, ask them to pick it up or hire any of the locals with a truck big enough and have them dump it at the City Dump. Good Luck |

How much does a normal (not I'm just fishing for a clue to
the range to be expected. I
know it will vary based on
many factors, BUT I'd still
like to hear some stories of
your experiences to get an
idea.

It all depends on exactly what you want to be done in the kitchen space. Do you want all new everything or just some replacements done? I'm an interior designer and I recently did a kitchen project that ended up being over $15,000, but that's because the clients wanted an entirely new space. We basically gutted the kitchen and started from scratch; new tiles, appliances, everything. If you just want to re-vamp your kitchen (the minimal you mentioned), then you can easily spice up your cabinets by either sanding them and staining them or even by just painting them. If they lack appeal, then adding some type of architectural detail to the cabinet faces always helps. Also don't think that you have to go out and buy new appliances. You can find appliance paint at any store like Home Depot or Lowes. It can turn those plain ol' white applainces into beautiful, glossy black appliances for little or nothing, and you can't tell that it's paint. Also if you want new flooring, there are so many types of heavy duty tiles now that last a long time, can take a beating, look gorgeous, AND are cheap. Also if you want wood floors but can't afford the real wood, linoleum is in! It's not as cheap as the tile but if you don't tell anyone it's not linoleum (and if they aren't a designer like me, LOL!) then they'll believe the floor to be made of real wood. Just doing some touch ups on your old kitchen can save you a bundle. I'd say it could range anywhere from $500 to $5000 depending on how much you revamp. Hope this helps! |
