Kitchen Remodel – Recommendations?

I own http://www.totalkitchenstore.com

We sell high quality stuff at wholesale prices. Sure, I have personal interest in the issue, but as someone who’s been in this industry for a long time, I would encourage anyone considering a remodel to buy cabinetry that comes ready to install, not ready to assemble.

I was looking at the “Virtual Kitchen Showroom”. I don’t see a price for the kitchen counters. Is that not included in the total price ?

[quote=WaitingToExhale]I was wondering about the whole house, not just the kitchen. Sorry about the ambiguity. I suspected the question might be too general, but I’m trying to determine how much cash it would take to put into the house + asking price vs. typical cost in the area.

Note that I have no clue, here, just thinking about the options as I look at homes.[/quote]
Well, this really depend on your taste and the house. The house might be in livable condition, but you want to change things around. That’ll cost money. It really depends on how expensive is your taste too. Would you be changing out all the doors to new doors to better match your taste? Would you add crown moldings? Would you you change out the baseboards? Would you re-tile the bathroom? Change all the flooring? There are a million little things you can customize with a home and they all cost $ to do. So, it’s really up to you how much you want to spend. I can see if you customize EVERYTHING to your taste, it can easily be in the 150k-250k range when all is said and done.

The interior is trashed, so I’d think the higher end estimates would be fairly accurate. Thanks for your thoughts.

What’s your definition of trash? a $250k interior, w/out moving walls/plumbing/eletrical will probably get you mostly top of the line stuff. If I completely gut my house and replace everything w/out moving walls/plumbing/eletrical, I can probably get it done for around $100k-$150k w/ mid-high range stuff and finding great deals. Also, the biggest cost for a lot of the remodeling is labor. How much of the stuff can you do yourself. You can save thousands doing a lot of the stuff yourself, such as replacing doors, mouldings, paint, toilets, etc.
