Exploring Options for uising a General Contractor for a kitchen remodel? |
| Posted by admin in kitchen remodels on 08 19th, 2008 |
We are considering a kitchen remodel. We've hired a general contractor and a kitchen designer for the DESIGN PHASE (a seperate agreement will be presented for the BUILD PHASE). We would like to explore other paths in lieu of hiring a GC.
We are interested in hearing from homeowners who have done kitchen remodels as to the options they pursued? How many served as their own GC's? How did that go? How many worked with the local home center for cabinets, floors, etc and left the structural stuff to someone else? How did that work? We're not interested in being our own GC, but there has got to be a less expensive way! We're making quality decisions and downgrading OUR choices for OUR kitchen just to pay the GC's fee and overhead costs. For example, we did all the work to select over $10K worth of appliances (which will be delivered and installed) and the GC will stand to earn quite a bit for what appears little work (enough for another appliance). Are there any other options?
best thing is go to places research your materials price them out & compair prices through differant places to save money, then go home measure then measure again! sometimes sandpaper, new paint & hardwear, with some ellbow grease goes a long way man save alot of money to then you can buy new appliances lol to go with new look!

I'm remodeling my kitchen and I need really unique kitchen sinks, any ideas where i can get them?
What do you mean by unique. Do you mean hand painted, big, unusual color beyond stainless steel? I have a Kohler Gathering Undercounter Kitchen Sink bought it at Home Depot. Its a single basin apron front. Painted pattern on it. Check out home depot but it might cost more then your willing to shell out. However undercounter sinks are GREAT wouldtn have anything else. Remember the faucet is just as important in completing the look

Remodeling a kitchen - how long did it take, how much did it cost? |
| Posted by admin in kitchen remodeling on 08 19th, 2008 |
My husband and I want to remodel our kitchen and would like to plan for the time and costs. How long did your kitchen remodel take and were there unexpected expenses you hadn't counted for that came up? Were you happy with the outcome of the kitchen based on what you spent?
It took 3 months….. we did it ourselves and it cost 27,000$ Canadian….
Unexpected expenses: wiring that was no longer any good, having to buy more tiles, redoing the floor base to make it smooth for the new tiles (because pulling up the old ones ruined the floor underneath) and having to make a new countertop instead of just being able to relaminate the old one (the wood underneath the old laminate was rotting).
Yes… very happy with the outcome! We have just sold the house… paid it 133 500.00$ just over 5 years ago…. just sold it for 279 500.00$… I'd say that definitely covers the cost of the kitchen renovation!

I am looking to remodel my cape style home in Mass.? |
| Posted by admin in big kitchen remodel on 08 19th, 2008 |
I am looking to add 3 BR and 2 Baths (currently it's typical cape with 2 BR's). I also want to remodel the kitchen with new cabinets and flooring, and take down a wall to make the kitchen bigger. I'm trying to see if anyone has done a similar project and about how much it would cost. THe upstaris is about 750 sq ft and the first floor is about 800. Any help would be appreciated.
Always remember that remodeling is much more expensive than building a new equal amount of space. We do it because we love our homes….i just did this to an old country small farmhouse which needed all new everything…new wiring, new plumbing, new bathrooms, kitchen cabinets, etc…I purposely did not knock out any walls…..just made 2 bedrooms out of old master big one…..house is exactly 2000 sq. ft. and spent 75.00 a ft doing it…I live in rural Texas so you do the math where you live as far as contruction …I also did not add on any room but a utility room on slab….the house is on pier and beams…

My kitchen remodel included "appliance installation" does that include moving the appliances into the house? |
| Posted by admin in kitchen remodel on 08 19th, 2008 |
I hired a kitchen design company to do a total gut and remodel of my kitchen. The contract says that appliance installation is included. The appliance company dropped off the appliances in my garage. My kitchen contractor is claiming that only the "installation" of the appliances is included, not the physical movement of the appliances from outside the house to inside. Is this typical? I feel like I'm getting ripped off because I might have to spend extra money to get a mover.
When we specify installation, we mean that we physically move them from where they were delivered to where they will be installed. It often happens that the appliances are delivered before other work that needs to be performed before the appliance is installed, isn't. And, we don't want the appliances cluttering up the area until that work is completed, so many clients have them delivered into the garage until my electrician or plumber says the appliance is ready to be installed and all other prep work is completed.
Personally, I would be a little insistent with the design company that they move the appliances from the garage to the kitchen. Especially, if there is other work to be completely prior to their installation. I would threaten to contact the Better Business Bureau and the State Contractor's Licensing Board to complain. Moreover, this is a very poor example of customer service and I gather they aren't expecting you to be a happy satisfied customer who will act as a referral in the future!
