Project Manager for a GC.Before that I was an "Architectural Engineer" for a design/construction management company.Before that I was a cabinet detailer/draftsman.

The $13,000 includes:Replacing one entire gable, repairing another gable, tearing out all bathroom tile and old vanities, new flooring (vinyl plank), 4 new ceiling fans, 2 new toilets, 2 new bathroom vanities with new countertops, sinks and faucets, new kitchen counter with new kitchen sink and faucet, paint on all surfaces inside and out (except brick), new doors, new hinges, new cabinet hardware, new bathtub surround, minor carpentry repairs, all new light fixtures, all new switches and outlets throughout, some minor electrician work, minor plumbing work, various minor drywall repairs, gutter repairs, painted concrete porch, new pillar for front porch, doorway thresholds, all new blinds, replacement of a broken window pane, all the appliances, and all the labor.

For example: If I had to repair x sq ft of the floor in the kitchen, and redo the cabinets, how would I properly estimate that?

What level of cabinets do you have to put in for that area?

I do:smaller diameter recessed lights nicer door knobs (not base home depot ones)nicer cabinet hardwareslightly upgraded granite and appliances Pls end marble in master bath instead of normal ceramic solid core interior doors instead of hollow

Scope of work will include: New roof & rear soffit, self contained HVAC unit, new supply plumbing (stolen copper), new cabinets, updated finishes in the kitchen & house, lots of drywall & paint, and maybe a new window here & there.

Used vanities and cabinets.

Then there is cabinet removal (insurance will make you reuse granite) in kitchens and baths and tub surround demo/removal tubs.

Just your basic new paint, floors, cabinets and appliances Maybe I am missing out on better deals?

As far as a Lowes VS Home DePot VS Sutherlands VS Menards debate, that's a personal choice.For my local market, I have 3-4 good quality custom cabinet shops within a 10-45 minute drive from my house.
