They look great and are much less expensive than most other options. Moving plumbing and electrical around will cost more.Ĥ) It may not be everyone’s taste, but we got butcher block counters. Everyone will try to talk you out of them, but we are happy with ours and they were $4000, compared to $30,000 for custom (a quote we got).ģ) If possible, leave the appliances in the same spot. If you can, use your contractor’s number to get a discountĢ) IKEA cabinets. Here is what you can do to keep the cost down:ġ) buy your own materials. The entire thing was $50K, and we did not do any of the work ourselves. We also had new wiring put into the kitchen, which meant installing a new electrical subpanel, and we had a gas line run up to the kitchen from the basement.

It was a full gut renovation- walls, floors, ceilings, windows, cabinets, appliances: everything was replaced. We reno’ed our kitchen just before the pandemic. Showers and drains need to be installed correctly, if you are using an old style iron tub and don't mind saving it then it might be worth doing a re-coating.ĭon't be in a rush, you can do things little by little. I would highly recommend spending a greater attention to detail to the bathroom, that is where a lot of hidden rot can occur. It's a small job where you might better off subcontracting each stage of the operation. You can itemize your jobs and take your time. A composite granite countertop would be the nicest option.įormica can easily be cut and you can drop in your sink yourself, the rental place will have the jig saws and tools that you can rent.ĭo you have fiberboard/MDF cabinets or actual plywood cabinets? A lot of times plywood cabinets can be repainted very nicely and look great. Or is there someone who exists who can help me remodel my place myself? Like, I pay you to teach me how and guide me through it? A remodeling guide? That’s not a thing is it? 😅 I feel like the things I want are pretty basic, new floors, new counters and sink and backsplash, cabinets and I see people on YouTube doing it themselves but I just don’t know how and with three kids and a job, I’d rather not spent months and months trying to figure it out myself.ĭIY.if you can measure then you can order some basic counter tops from places like Lowes or Home Depot.obviously you are trying to make it nice but not super high end. Does anyone have a recommendation for a contractor that is reliable and has a good eye for detail that can work with a $30k-$40k budget? I had assumed that was a decent budget for a basic kitchen remodel but apparently not in Oakland. Just some basic stuff that could improve the space and I’m also willing to do some of the work myself.
I’m not looking for crazy upscale remodeling. We’ve had several people come straight out and tell us they don’t work on kitchens for less than 100k budget and another contractor who had agreed to take on our project only to back out because they got a bigger job.
We’re looking to re-do our very outdated and not very functional bathroom and kitchen, but having a hard time finding people who can work with a smaller budget. Hey Oakland friends, I know that Nextdoor/Yelp are the more usual places to get recommendations for contractors for remodeling projects, but having had some bad experiences hiring people from both, I figured I’d reach out here on Reddit to see if I could crowd source some names.
