Remodeled Kitchen. Never tackled anything this large before but had great help.
So we have been wanting to remodel our kitchen since we bought the house a few years back. House was built in the 50s and it appears the kitchen was one of the only things never touched. Cabinets and counters were falling apart and at one point the doors under my sink fell off and could not be repaired so we were using a curtain. Lucky for me my Dad is retired and is well versed in doing complete to the studs remodels of houses. He was amazing and drove 1600 miles with his car loaded with tools to come help. Basic remodel including taking down one non-load bearing wall, replacing cabinets, counters, appliances and floors. The only thing I had someone do was we wanted to change from an electric stove to a gas one so I had a HVAC guy come run the gas line for me. We didn't move any plumbing but did replace everything under the sink. We are big boat, lake, water people and wanted to put those themes to work. I think it turned out really well with the counters looking like waves on the beach. Before I decided to do this myself but after we had it designed I got multiple quotes for it and all came in $90k-$100k and yeah that was not happening. Dad said he was totally on board with helping so it was DIY. All in I spent around $35k. Cabinets were the biggest as we went with custom ones although not top of the line. They were around $22k. Counters are quartzite and ran just south of $6k. Flooring was $1300 and backsplash was $500 all in. Appliances we got on Black Friday for under $3k for everything. Gas line was $750. The rest was general supplies. submitted by /u/Tryingtolooklikeapro [link] [comments]
