I’m planning on doing a DIY shiplap wall around my boring fireplace that won’t cost much and also painting all kitchen and bathrooms cabinets to a nice bright white to get rid of the outdated oak color.

My gut tells me not to spend the $6000 to upgrade all laminate countertops (kitchen and 3 baths) to quartz but thought I’d ask the experts as I don’t have experience with laminate to know if it’s something that will need to be replaced often and quartz wouldn’t.Thanks for any feedback!

I filed plans for a kitchen remodel in Vallejo. 

This sets up my 5 star review.We have a house book on the kitchen table for house and local details.

New luxury vinyl plank floors, new carpet, new kitchen including quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances.

It needed four brand new: kitchens, baths, HVAC, furnaces, water heaters, paint, floor, etc etc.

I was in one of my rehabs today and thinking how I would like to redo the kitchen layout, but there wouldn't be any return and the only one who would care about it is me.

Look at your kitchen faucets, vanity faucets, stops under each sink and behind the toilets, and inside the tank of each toilet.

I am planning on redo-ing the kitchen, bathroom, all flooring, paint, and outdoor landscaping.
