Inexpensive where I live but it depends on to your location.

Thank you. I should have mentioned in Baltimore area but you are right; location matters

Baltimore is a fairly HCOL are, way, way, (and I may not have enough ways listed) too cheap. A professional painting just the cabinets should be dam near that much alone. In my opinion major red flags on what you will actually end up with.........................

Actually DC is much more expensive. I guess it depends what part of Baltimore you may be referring to but I appreciate what you are saying especially about cabinets

Still you are in a city, and east coast major cities are all pretty much considered HCOL, of there are soem that are higher but................

to me, sounds low..only pro painting our cabs(we have small kitchen, so not a lot of cabs at all) would be more than that

now depends who is giving you the bid. We have a very good handyman for example..I wouldn't employ him for all of that, but if somebody would decide to, he might get similar bid. He charges by days though. He works good and fast. I still wouldn't ask him to do stuff like installing countertops, even though he's capable of it, technically speaking. Depends on how comfortable you're with a person who gave you a quote, do you know the quality of their work, is he a GC who's going to manage the trades, or is he more in line with our handyman? jack-of -all-trades? who's gonna enlist some help, here and there? does he have a licence? (which he needs, frankly speaking, for electrical and such)

Thanks everyone and good things to think about aprilneverends, I think because of the size of the kitchen I want to be sure. I have had too many contractor-horror stories.

A small kitchen renovation is still going to have the same basic requirements as a medium kitchen renovation, but there will less square footage or linear footage of each change.

It doesn't take that much less time to set up and replace 15 linear feet of base than it does 50 linear feet, for example.

that is helpful

Please post progress pictures to this thread.

Way, way too low a price.
