Home remodeling

[make_your_move]

Has anyone here on my list done their own home remodeling. A kitchen, in particular. Was it worth the price you saved going to a contractor? Tell me all the gory details.

how much change

How big of a change to you want? Sometime little things can make a big difference. I've done cabinets,sinks,plumbing, drywall, painting, framing, etc.

As you know, our mutual friends in Fairfax remodeled their kitchen to the point of new appliances, sink, cabinet, floor, dishwasher, and replacemet of the drywall on the rear wall. That was an involved and somewhat extended process. But their results were better quality than they would have gotten with most (if not all) contractors.

As long as your realistic and plan for it to take much more time than you estimate, it is doable. If you merely want a new floor, sink and countertop, that's easy and doable relatively quickly.
