[Horacio Gutierrez]

Hello, I know it depends how much the cabinets cost and how big the kitchen and bathroom are but could I get ball park number for an average kitchen and bathroom size for sfh with semi stock mdf with wood veener cabinets and granite countertops. Not looking for high end home but average home to rehab in los angeles, ca?

If you are a savvy shopper you could definitely save some money on cabinets, countertops & appliances to bring these prices down, but I think this is a good cost range for an average kitchen remodel.

Note: These costs do not include Contractor's Overhead & Profit, so prices could be more expensive if you are hiring a GC.
