If it is a regular cabinet and doesn't sit on the counter to look right the backsplash should extend the width of the cabinet.  

Fortunately despite the delays I was able to stay on the 30k budget for the most part, and at the end I decided to go a few thousand over to do granite countertops instead of formica and to do that nice mosaic backsplash so that the house would have a wow factor, which I think had a lot to do with getting it sold so fast!

I currently own my home in Roeland Park, 2 bed 1 bath, large back yard, am in the process of renovating the kitchen(painted cabinets, new back splash, new counter top.What are your thoughts on if it would be a better move to sell and invest the proceeds or try to rent it. 

You can bet the tile guy who didnt get the border quite straight on the attorneys backsplash either ripped it out and redid it or didn’t get paid.

After done renovations / repairs / maintenance on many many properties, I kind of know the price range of each job like painting, flooring, drywall, plumbing, electrical, AC, pest control, remove odor from old pet urine, mold remediation, cabinets, countertop, backsplash, appliances etc etc in my mind.

He put in a backsplash in the kitchen, put up larger fence doors, light fixtures and fans, etc.

Apartments are identical other than upgraded appliances, re-grouted bathrooms, and kitchen backsplash (along with much nicer paint colors).

Purchased price:  $111,000.00  (1 bed condo)I spent another $3k on stainless steel appliances, fresh paint and backsplash. 

I also like to load up a cart on Amazon or Home Depot with all the materials that I need to cover, eg. appliances, flooring, fixtures, so you can nail these figures down.I forgot backsplash

If you want to set expectations, it should be worded this way, “Furnish and install all caulking (Big Stretch, or Approved Equal) at all millwork, standing and running trim, countertop and backsplashes to provide a complete, consistent, and seamless caulking interface at all dissimilar surfaces per the drawings and specifications.
