This is because the proximity to amenities, schools, public transportation, and other conveniences plays a significant role in shaping a property's market value.

Whereas the prices I quoted above include everything required to get new countertops installed, those low prices will then charge you a markup for sink cutouts, edges, disposal of existing countertops, template, and perhaps even a transportation fee.We will come out and measure the square footage of countertop area you have, and then create a template of the exisiting countertop or just the cabinet layout if you don't have an existing countertop so that we can know the shape and size of the countertop we need to cut and fabricate for you.We will bring you granite samples to choose from, and you can be involved further in the selection process by visiting our preferred stone showroom wherein you can actually pick the granite slab you like.

@Wesley Sherow a very real concern that is not mentioned is the scope and eventual cost of the total rehab.One of the most challenging projects I ever did was a rehab that converted a 100-year old five story concert building on Seattle’s waterfront to a storage facility.It was built and served as an ice plant that produced blocks of ice that was loaded in ships holds to transport food stuff to other parts of the world.This project and any major rehab of an OLD building carries much greater risk than one designed from scratch.In essence, the entire building is a “hidden condition”, which gives the general and its subcontractors a very wide lane to discover and charge for many change orders to cover the surprises they find along the way.You would be wise to use higher estimates for known costs and add generous contingencies for the unknown ones you are apt to run into.

Are you on public transportation, near bike paths, in a walkable neighborhood?
