Yeah, if I could get close to $15 I'd be happy. I have a few general contractors I've worked with before, but I'm concerned that someone who doesn't do a lot of kitchen business might not get a great deal on the materials, even if they do the labor cheaply.
$28K is crazy unless you're getting some super nice cabinets or top of the line granite
We're avoiding granite entirely -- don't want to deal with the cost and upkeep for what I think is a marginal aesthetic improvement.
I told this guy to give me an estimate with their mid-grade cabinets (not their cheapest, definitely not the most expensive), and then quote me some options for upgrading them.
Here's what he came back with:
