Spared no expense - wood casement windows, custom cabinets, counters, stainless appliances, custom pool table. 

Hi Ryan Biankowski if it were me I would keep my $10k in the bank for holding costs as well as you'll need funds for items you need to put deposits on like cabinets, counters etc.I would find a great deal, use an HML for my first position lender and a PML for the second.

Hardware (ie cabinet knobs/pulls) if they are dated are easy to replace. 

The updated kitchen boasts all new stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, ample cabinet space, with soft close cabinets, a pantry and a convenient breakfast bar.

I added more cabinets in the kitchenI added a handrail to steps in the rearI had new cement poured on sidewalk, porch and drivewayI added new storm doors to all 3 doorsI added new cordless, faux wood blinds throughout home (Home Depot installed)I repainted and repaired detached garage Lessons learned?

Sanded cabinets and repainted.

Some drywall replacement, repainting, need to add a backsplash to the kitchen, maybe replace cabinets, flooring could be redone.

For instance: A stove- 500 Backsplash-400 Cooktop - 500 Granite Counter Tops- 1500 Dishwasher- 500 New Sink - 250 Fridge - 550 Cabinets- Cost to refinish older cabinets in nicer condition ????

Everything should be in writing, down to the type and name of the kitchen cabinet handles, the tile name/brand/color, the texture of drywall,....everything that will be a part of this project must be in writing attached to the contract and signed by both parties.

This is from the official Allure installation instructions: "Do not install permanent cabinets, vanities, etc. over allure as this will prevent allure from expanding and contracting."
