Reasonable Quote?

[candymom 0]

Hi, i intend to hire ID to renovate my old kitchen. This is the first time i'm doing the renovation, hence not sure abt what is the current mrkt rate. There shall be no hacking of walls, tiles and flooring cos i hv a little girl at home. My kitchen is small, the layout of the cabinet will be the same as the current so this is really a simple job. But i was shocked that i still need to spend btw $5000- $7000 on the renovation , quoted by two IDs that i approached.

This is a draft quotation given.

1) Hacking/disposal - $300 - $400

2) Install sink & tap - $150 - $200

3) Install kitchen accessories/ light - $60 - $160

4) Kitchen cabinet 23ft top & bottom (china laminated) w ABS-Trimmings - $2530

5) Solid Surface Surface - $1120 - $1200

6) kitchen Backsplash (tempered glass) - $180

7) Magic Corner Chrome - $300+

Above package doesn not include sink, hob, hood.

Can anyone advise if this is a good deal or not? thanks

1) Market rate is $90~$100 per ft. Never heard of china Laminate. Most ID/contractor use Tak or Edi laminates.

2) Install of sink/tap/accessorise usually FOC. Light only $10 installation

3) >1k solid surface shld quite good. Ask for the brands as they are types in Market.

4) Kitchen backsplash , how big? Usually FOC.

I guess your contractor quote u at a high side is because u only reno kitchen. They find no meat so must chop u abit.

Hi

Item

1) no idea therefore no comment

2 & 3) as per candymom mentioned.

4) have you think of just changing the doors / lamination of the existing cabinet (meaning external) for a facelift if the internal condition is good ? This shld save you some cost.

5) paid $78 per sq ft for normal solid top. You are having what type of material ?

6) no comment

7) what's tat ?

Hope it helps.
