They can do the granite, finished installed for just under $1k, w/ backsplash, for these 3 pieces (1 10' slab).

Thanks for replying, the scope of work would include bringing a backroom (sun room) up to code so that it may be considered livable space, updating two bathrooms (shower, vanity, possibly flooring), along with a kitchen update (changing countertops, refinishing/replacing cabinets, changing backsplash, sink).

You will also see some common themes: -Decor that is appropriate to the theme of the area -Mix of nice wall hangings and hard objects without being cluttered (again- place appropriate; don't hang an anchor and ship wheel in a mountain cabin)-Items that provide a "Pop" of color in photos; can be throw pillows, bed skirts, tile backsplash, bar stools, back side of front door etc-Some coordination of color scheme throughout.

The grease all over the kitchen cabinets and backsplash was next to impossible to get off.  

Does anyone know of a style guide or resources on matching colors, backsplash styles, etc.?

. $495k - it went for all cash to a guy who came in painted all the wood and brick white (Hurts me to type that) threw out the bar- put up subway tile backsplash in the kitchen and then sold it 3 months later for $750k. 

If I can get away with just doing a backsplash for the tiles in kitchen and bath, I'm sold.

We tore down a small wall in the kitchen, added granite, and a backsplash.

Updates made were: new windows, new electrical system new doors throughout, new flooring & paint, new granite countertop and tile backsplash, new appliance package, new garage door, and new exterior paint.

So on paper it seems like not much, but it can be 40% of the overall time to complete job, depending on full scope.Assuming you are gutting and starting from scratch, I would outline:- Draw at completion of demo- Flooring installed and covered- Electrical rough in passed- Plumbing rough in passed- Drywall installed, mudded and sanded- Cabinets installed, with any crown and pulls- Counters installed-Backsplash complete (installed, grouted and caulked)- Electrical final inspection passed- Plumbing final passed- Paint- Floors finished (if hardwoods)
