Renovating my townhouse in San Diego

Hey everyone -- I have a ~1000 sqft townhouse (on 2 levels) here in San Diego, and I'm looking to do some updates and modernize the place. The necessities are floors (LVP), windows and paint for the interior. Bonus would be refacing the cabinets if the pricing makes sense

I priced out part of the job with HD, windows were somewhat reasonable at $8500 but I was surprised by the cabinet refacing -- Just short of $20k. That struck me as high for this type of job, does anyone have experience there?

I would love to connect with a GC in San Diego with a wide skillset, any good contacts? Thanks in advance!

James

Hi @James Heller I am fully renovating 2 of my units on a 4plex I have in Golden Hill...feel free to reach out and send me a private message if you need assistance and contacts....You can get cabinets and prefab quartz countertops pretty inexpensive and refacing is usually more expensive, I've found.  

Your refacing number is quite high and you should be able to get new cabinets and countertops for half of that price if not less than half. :)

Are you making your place a long term rental or short term? I'm likely making those 2 units into midterm furnished rentals, I'm used to only having LTRs for myself but will see how it goes :)
