Son of a B! I just got my quote for my cabinets! Now this is for the whole house excluding my outdoor which is small and not even the granite. $12,100 and if they stain them add 30%! I have seen this guys work in 2 houses and he does some beautiful work but does this seem high? I don't know cause I have not ever had cabinets built. This is for 3 bathrooms, a kitchen, mantal, and my media center on both sides of the fireplace. I was expecting about $8,000.

Wow! I don't feel so bad now. We are getting 2 quotes but we have only received one. But this guy used to build for this company we are getting this other quote from and now he owns his own custom shop and he said what ever they quote you, I will beat them. So maybe they will be cheaper. I am a firm believer that good work ain't cheap and cheap work ain't good but I have to make sure I am getting a good deal.

I own a cabinet shop and that sounds reasonable depending on exactly what you are going with, wood species, door style, etc....

I've seen handmade entertainment centers for over $3k, for what your getting that doesn't sound bad at all as long as the work is what you say it is.

That is some really nice work. Mine will be built out of #2 cypress. Is that a good choice for cabinets?

# 2 is a good choice if you like the look of knots. If you don't want a bunch of knots you need to go selects and better.

Yeah we do like the look of knots. That's why we are going with stained and not painted. Actually my wife likes the look that you see in some houses like painted island and stained cabinets and 2 differant granite colors.

I personally like the knots...That will look nice... Just don't go with a dark stain on cypress.

I remember building my house... the slab looked small... then the walls went up and the rooms looked tiny... and then the sheetrock went on and it started to look right... then when the floors and paint went on it really started looking great...

Pricing for cabinets is pretty expensive... 3 bathrooms, a kitchen, and a mantel/media center is alot of material and alot of work depending on what you have designed...

Mine were done out of Maple... I had a kitchen with enclosed refrig, island, and 2 bathrooms... I did all the staining myself to save money

That would be great. I have 2 quotes on the cabinets and they were only $100 differance but a third wouldn't help. I have 1 quote on the floors and none on painting and trim. I have basically just going by advice from other people.

Man I thought my wife was going to cry yesterday when she walked in it for the first time since the walls are standing. She said this is not big enough! We moved out of a house 1400 sf and this one is 2000 living 3000 under roof. Should not have brought her over there! Lol
