if your kitchen can still be used to cook, I would suggest to not
start. i On 4 Aug 2006 15:46:48 -0700, wrote: With a contractor? With an architect? At Ikea? or all of the above? tj palvino |

wrote in message ups.com... With a contractor? With an architect? At Ikea? or all of the above? You really don't need an architect for a kitchen. Unless you want something very elaborate and major changes. You really don't want Ikea unless you want second or third rate cabinetry. Same with Home Depot & Lowes. Most small towns and neighborhoods have very good kitchen design assistance at lumber yards or kitchen specialty contractors. If you buy the cabinets from them, the service is usually free. We have a local guy in town that does nothing but kitchens & baths and have a good reputation for many years. He says "most" jobs are $12 to $15,000 for good cabinets and countertop, but the same space can be down with a lower end but still good quality for 8 - 10 K. But you can also spend 50k for larger fancier kitchens. Set a budget first. I've not hard many good stories about the big box stores. |

The answer depends on how much effort you want to put into it and how much
you want to spend. Ikea if you want a cheap DIY kitchen. (all millspride at home depot to that list) A kitchen designer or contractor who specializes in kitchen remodeling if you want a turn key solution and pay top dollar for it. HD to buy Kraftmade or Thomasville, a general contractor to install them and a stone contractor for the countertop and maybe the floor. A tile store for the floor and some DIY for the paint. Keep in mind you may also need a plumber and electrician. You can also have HD install it if you have some faith (they are successful sometimes) An architect if you want to tear down walls and move the kitchen to the other side of the house or add a room at the same time. wrote in message ups.com...
