Man Hours to Gut and Install a Kitchen?
I'll tell you what. *Every* single project like this I have done has
*always* turned out to cost way more than I thought it would. There is always "something" I discover that is additional and needs to be fixed. You tear out everything and discover a problem. If I were re-doing my kitchen, I would guess it would take me about a month of work doing it myself. Although I live in a 70 year old house, so this would include a new window, insulation, new plumbing, new electrical, and new drywall (In addition to everything else). I'd bet that I would find some rotten wood on the floor under the cabinets or something which would need replacement though.... "Cindy" wrote in message I'm trying to calculate some costs and wanted to see if anyone had an idea how long it would take to gut an average size kitchen (14' x 13') completely and install cabinets, do plumbing, etc. I know I don't have much detail but it's just an average kitchen with an average number of cabinets, etc. Thanks!

Cindy You're absolutely right, Bill, it always does cost more than anticipated. I'll be hiring a contractor and right now the time is critical since I'm trying to time a move. I wonder how long it would take 2 professionals to gut and install? I'd give it six weeks, if it's about timing a move. Banty -- NewsGuy.Com 30Gb $9.95 Carry Forward and On Demand Bandwidth |
