Today is even more beautiful as my kitchen remodel in my own home is just about finished - we used the same contractors I refer to clients w/ their standard pricing and completed the project for less that $23,000! One company was going to charge $17,000 for the cabinets alone! The final product features refaced maple cabinets, new stainless appliances, new sink and faucet, magnificent granite, a stainless hood, stone tile wall and backsplash... If you are thinking of remodeling, the kitchen is where you will gain equity the easiest. Usually returning 109% of what you spend...based on retail prices... my suggestions will most likely save you thousands. ( It helps that my mom, Diane Bedsworth, of Bedsworth Design International is one of the leading interior designers in the bay area) Anyway, after consulting with a few refacing companies, I realized there is a significant margin in this business. I can steer you toward companies and contractors that don't take advantage of people - especially from my clients / referrals...
