Seattle area flip advice needed - Cabinetry replacement vendors
Hi, Pinging the Seattle area flipping community for suggestions. A little background: I am undertaking a flip of my late mother's estate property as personal representative of her estate. My background as an investor is on multifamily and commercial buy and hold investments. That being said, I am acutely aware of the housing market in the greater Seattle area. I am undertaking this project as I am confident that I will increase the value of the estate assets by renovating this house, and selling it, and therefore increasing the net value of the estate as a result for her heirs, given the current market conditions. Given that this sale is an estate sale, form 17 will not be a requirement. I am therefore focused on primarily cosmetic improvements.
Need: The Kitchen cabinets (1967 originals), in my opinion are in need of replacement or refacing. At a minimum, new doors and drawers would be needed. Based on my inquiries, feedback thus far has been that refacing or replacement of doors and drawers would not be cost effective, and it is better to replace as there are providers that offer modular or prefab options at very reasonable prices for flipping projects. I do not want to spend more than 2K on cabinets to stay within budget, and I am more concerned with appearance than quality. I have been referred to one local company that I am told can accommodate this type of project (replacement), Pius Kitchen and Bath (Seattle), and they have told me that I would be surprised at the low cost, but my concern is how quickly they can respond with pricing and delivery. So I am looking for any suggestions of alternative providers. Thanks for any guidance. Rich
