Built a condo cottage in New Seabury on Cape Cod in the 80's. Yes we owned the cottage which was part of a condo. Gave building to the YMCA and built new. Lots of fun and we actually made a few bucks after renting for 2 years.
We have renovated 8 kitchens over the years. No walk through estimates. At this point I can give an estimate by looking and knowing what someone wants for cabinets, floors, appliances.
Our last renovation with complete gutting was $78,000 which also included flooring in the laundry and adjoining powder room with new cherry vanity. Cherry wood cabinets with large crown moulding $25,000, construction $25,000 and appliances $28,000. New wiring plumbing and lighting fixtures included.
My best part of the kitchen is the warming drawer, induction cooktop, Sub-Zero fridge and double oven. Wine cooler is also a nice addition.
It's only money and I've never seen anyone take it with them. Well, maybe the guy wo was buried in his Corvette.
