While the cabinets in the kitchen might look ok they will emit smoke smells for a long-time.

@Daniel Suarez for the kitchen I am putting in new cabinets, SS appliances (range, microwave, fridge), level 1 granite countertop, tile backsplash, LED light fixture.

A light renovation requires less specificity than a new construction build, and you'll have to gauge that accordingly, but you should err on the side of being more specific rather than less.Lastly, regarding materials purchases, you should NEVER let a contractor choose, purchase or pay for any finish materials or important elements like appliances, sinks, toilets, bathtubs, counters, cabinets, trim, doors, windows, or even things like paint and stain or varnish.

Hello friends can anyone recommend a company they feel has great pricing and quality on newnkitchen cabinets installed.

I personally wave pet deposits and make it abundantly clear that if your furry baby rips my trim apart or scratches my cabinet that I will be keeping all or most of your security deposit. the reality is, not allowing pets will just lead people to “get a dog” a few months after the lease started.

You'll also have to wash the walls, baseboard, doors, cabinets, and anything else the cats may have sprayed.

Again, plumbing, electric, possible gas, rework, plus cabinets, counters, appliances, etc.  

If I am doing RTA cabinets, I typically direct my installers of where to go  (usually I buy them and have them pick it up) or check out the places they typically go.

Was able to reuse some old kitchen cabinets to create a butlers pantry in the former location of a dining room closet.

I assumed that the cosmetic work (new cabinets, new flooring, new windows where needed, etc) would not require permits but apparently there's a permit required for nearly EVERYTHING--even installing new kitchen cabinets and changing out some hardware.
