10 ft ceiling with kitchen cabinets to the top?
Comments (21)I know you are just asking for price comparison and I don't have numbers to share for that. As others have shared there are so many variables that will contribute to that cost. I did want to share that I have been in a lot of new homes with 10 foot ceilings and cabines go the top can feel very awkward if not carried out well. I wanted tall cabinets, but didn't want to have everything to the 10 foot height of ours, so opted for a variation. We went with a large sized coffered ceiling in our house that is under construction. The crown on all of the upper cabinets will touch the bottom of the coffered ceiling beams. With the exception of the baking area (cabinets between the double ovens and fridge cabinet) these cabinets were dropped even lower. Excuse that we are unfinished, but you kind of get the feel. we still used glass in the upper sections and the cabinets are huge. Great for decorations or things you use once a year....See MoreFlooring in great room-resale effects?
Comments (18)I am personally a big fan of vaulted ceilings (I collect art and it's a great way to get extra wall space for my paintings). That said, I live in a single story house and I'm not sacrificing additional sq. footage in order to have them. When we recently remodeled our master bedroom/bathroom, we vaulted the ceiling in the bedroom and it's one of the best parts of the remodel. Without gaining any additional sq. footage in the room, the room feels much larger. With 10-foot ceilings, the need for a vaulted ceiling would not be as great though (mine are 8 feet, and if we didn't have vaulting and/or skylights, it would be more claustrophobic). Also, I'm in So. Cal. so the heating is not as big an issue as I might be elsewhere....See MoreStackable Kitchen Uppers with Builder
Comments (3)Tract/Developer type home you will pay more for them to not install the upper's if that is even an option as that again is a "change order". Plus you may need to have them installed for the CO. I would be sure you know the brand and the particulars of your cabinets. Yes it is easier to do it before hand but remember change orders are upgrades are how this type of builder makes the bulk of his profits....See MoreProfessional painter cost
Comments (15)This is really helpful to me as well. When we moved into our home, we had the entire thing painted (walls, ceiling, and trim) by the realtor's painter at their repeat client rate of $12k. I knew then it was a bargain, and we just needed a clean slate to move in and get to know the space. Now we are undertaking a partial renovation, and the GC's painter quote is $36k for about half the house. That's 6x the cost of the painters we used originally. I'm strongly inclined to use our original painters again and save over $20k, and they've said their quote will include getting new surfaces "paint ready" this time (filling nail holes in new woodwork, priming, etc) before painting. Am I missing something critical here? The GC and architect have agreed I can use my painter if I want, but seem skeptical it will be good enough....See MoreRelated Professionals
