Feeling surprised that no many replies to this very important question.. Getting a feeling that perhaps most posters in this forum are from the industry and not keen to reveal. It feels like a classic switch and bait tatic...always say that detailing comes later and that's where the additional cost will be added..Future buyers please beware. Do all your detailing upfront if possible or at least make clear what you expect in your cupboards and have every item listed down in your quotation

Hello Renotalkers, Like to seek advice from seasoned forumers as I'm re-doing my home current. I noticed the market rate for Kitchen Cabinets is around $120 pfr which was what my ID quoted for me. However, when we are doing the detailing, he is charging me extra for things such as these... Saucer Rack: + $220 Drawers: +$600 for 4 drawers using Blum track (Apparently $120 pfr only gets cupboard door...not Drawers) Bi-Fold Door for Corner L-shape: + $150 Extra 4ft of counter Top w open-concept Internal PVC for Washing Machine: +$550 Dish hanging rack w glass cover: +$250 Just like to check if this is normal? in my previous renovation where I had 2 Saucer Racks and Dish-Hanging rack, there was no VO....has there been a change in market standards? Thank you very much renotalk.

It does come with soft closing but not BLUM. For $110/ft run, is it contractor price or ID price range btw?

Hello All, Hoping to seek your advice if the latest quote is inline with market or have furthur room for improvement? My ID claims that this is the best best price they have already but I think best to consult the shifus here. Thank you in advance.
