New countertop $600-$1k.

The kitchen was far overdue for new counter tops, sink, faucet, range and range hood.

It seems that there is approximately 10-11 lineal feet of countertops of 22 sf of granite at $33/sf plus under mount sink.

You want to match or just slightly exceed that.For example, if formica counter tops and basic white appliances are common in the area, that's what you want to do.

I only have a few things left to do on the inside like install the counter top on one of the bathroom vanities, carpet, and a little sheet rock repair.

You don't want to look at a rehab project like this:Bought it for 30, fixed the kitchen which adds 10 in value, put in granite counter-tops which ads another 5, replaced the flooring which cost me 10, fixed the roof which cost me 10, replaced the windows which cost 5 but adds 10 in value, so the ARV will be the sum of all of this.

@Matt LairdReally impossible to say without seeing it and knowing the level of finishes required, but I'd ballpark it at $30k+ based on what you've said here, maybe less if you're doing a bunch of the work yourself (we're in the DIY forum).That kitchen will be expensive, as you need cabinets, countertops, backsplash, appliances, fixtures and flooring.

i have a 10% off for lows and home depot already for my military discount and i get an additional 5% off at home depot for having a contractor account with them.i also already have connections with just about everyone in the business as far as contractors go, i even have some really awesome contractors have that agree to hourly rates along with others that are by the job.I am mainly asking to see what tricks people use besides the normal ones to ensure I'm not missing out on anything and to make sure i am not stuck in a one lane mind set. its always good to ask others what they do and ensure times are not changing around me.i honestly order a lot of my items online and have them shipped to the house and store them in the garage to have my contractors install them when they get there. i do spend a lot of time at the house waiting for delivery but i use that time to ensure all the work is being done to standard.one thing i have been thinking about lately is hiring some guys from a "ready work" company to do all of my clean ups. but i have yet to do this one and am not sure i fully trust random guys who will accept 10$ a hour to do what ever jobs they can pick up that day...i also have access to realtor direct flooring companies, and a discount painting company due to my va hook up. ill tell you what i have the hardest time finding deals on is cabinets and countertops

Houses had no fireplace, vinyl and carpet, no microwave, white appliances, 7-8 windows, flat doors, 3 sides brick, 30" upper cabinets, wilsonart counter tops and fiberglass tub/shower enclosures.

Hello everyone,I was just curious...I've been reading a few rehab descriptions lately and I see granite countertops mentioned quite a bit--so (currently having little knowledge of such things) I'm going to assume granite countertops are a very good (or at least desirable) thing.I'm also going to assume that the countertops in our apartment are definitely NOT granite (even though they kind of look like they are) cause--no way.Are granite countertops more durable?
