But that price includes granite, wood flooring, carpeting, upgraded cabinets and appliances.

Get the order in and measurement done as soon as possible so you can schedule your install when it's needed.Don't go "cheap" - I initially planned on using the cheapest materials I could get away with but quickly realized that for a small increase in price you could get a huge increase in quality.My bathroom vanity is a great example, for $70 more I got granite counters & high quality nickel fixture that looks fantastic.Discounts - You'd be amazed at how much you can save if you do the following:Price it out - Shop around, look online, compare prices & get at least 3 quotes on jobs.Rewards - Credit card miles/rewards/cashback can stack up in a hurry, don't overlook the benefits.Coupons - Veterans/Military get 10% off at Home Depot & Lowes.

Windows, cabinets, appliances, granite and flooring (hardwood install and refinish in my case). 

We shaved off $4k or so in labor, fence material, side entrance material, different flooring at lumber liquidators, different granite via actual granite place vs. the quoted menards source, and other small savings by making small changes.

Cheap granite etc.

But when I am done, it will be a brand new house and will likely sell in first week for full price or more.New roof, new copper repipe, new kitchen, new baths, new landscape, new interior doors, new central Ac and heat, granite, travertine, new stucco, new paint, new everything!

Very old with some kind of granite slab tops.

We have gotten quotes for containers of granite at one point in time and realized that wholesalers from the port cities pay be a better source after paying all the fees.

In those years, I have worked with marble and granite in tiles and in slabs in bathroom renovation.

I plan on replacing countertops with granite, but am thinking about leaving the cabinets as they are.
