Me and the wife are thinking of hireing out to get this done. We do the demo and have someone come in while we go on vacation to do the cabinets, walls, and ceilings. Then we come back, wire up some new lights, do the floor and its done.


So now you can afford the work and a vacation? What changed?

Seriously, I would NEVER leave someone to work in my house if I'm not around. Two reasons:

1. They do shit work if you're not all over them
2. I don't trust anyone and they could be thieves, or their friends could be thieves.. Why would you want total strangers to know that you're not going to be home? That's just me.


I have a real problem with the above statement, there is great, good and bad in every profession.
There are great contractors out there and I am one of them.

1. If you are all over me I am more likely to make a mistake. My level of work is the same no matter who is around or watching and I never mind the customer watching. I have to know in my heart I did the best possible job. (and I do)
2. Every project that is longer than a week I have a key to their house and on the average 50% of the time I am the only one there. Stealing something never enters my mind, I work for all I have and plan to get.

I know there are bad ones out there BUT there are good ones too.

Let me add this: I am not cheap. I expect to get paid well to do what I do. But everyone that enters into a contract with me gets more than they paid for and are always estatic about the end result.

Budgetary costs for a kitchen:
$300 a cabinet - medium grade ($600 high end)
$80 sf for solid conter tops
$300 under mount sink
$200 faucet
$100 misc plumbing
$1500 up for appliances

Flooring, the snap together products are nice and fairly easy but nothing feels as good as a nice ceramic tile floor. Tile isn't that hard to do. ALSO consider a tile back splash adds wow factor.

Lighting hard to put a price on it w/o knowing what you need.

I don't go as far as GA but I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have, email me at jphomerepair@comcast.net for my phone number!
