Kitchen Re-Do

I would say that's $25K-35K, though I'm sure that you could spend more if you wanted to.

And assuming no rerouting of pipes and wiring in the wall that's going to be knocked out, or complicated 'replace all the piping back to the risers' issues.

Basic can be even under 15k as long as you are not spending too much on appliances. Try home depot.

Are these estimates including labor? That seems like the biggest expense with co-ops since everything has to be insured, licensed, etc.

Yes. Everything. No moving of plumbing, gas line and walls etc. As with everything there is a wide range. You can buy a subzero and that can cost you $7k. Or you can buy a nice stainless steel fridge for $1k.

under 15K is my estimate, I am doing same kind of renovation.

ND2013,
What exactly are you doing for under 15K? What cabinets? Countertop, sink, faucet, backsplash, floor? Shut off valves? Licensed plumber?

Ikea kitchen cabinets and appliances, no changing in the layout of the kitchen. The contractor who did previous job in our place gave an estimate on prepping the kitchen (remove old appliances, tile, paint, change the floor. We have small kitchen 5 x 7, so cabinets will run about 4k and appliances 3K. Counter top 1.5K . Space prep will be 2K. leaving the rest for fee to hook up new stuff and maybe some electrical work, materials too. Small galley kitchen so we will not have a lot to tile or paint.

Nd2013,

Let's say your cabinets and appliances from Ikea are 7k. Who is the one going to Ikea to purchase? Who is assembling? Who is referring the damaged pieces? Will they be cutting any cabinets to customize? Do you need to replace the plumbing lines back to the riser? Shut off valves? Does your building require you to waterproof the floor? What appliances are you getting for 3k? From what you said you are at 10,500 just for cabinets,appliances, countertop and labor just to prep the kitchen. That leaves 4,500 to reach 15k for the plumber, purchase tile (floor and backsplash) electrician, cabinet assemble and install.

Seems way too inexpensive. The $2,000 to prep sounds incredibly low.

Great suggestions!

We plan to use IKEA installers and the contractor who worked on our appartemt before gave us estimate for kitchen prep. We live in complex of 11 buildings and he is not affiliated with buildings but does all his projects here, his feeding ground -- already has his paperwork in he office etc. He actually gave us a very good price on painting and wood floor restauring before. Actually IKEA appliances may be more than 3k mire like 3.5. Anyway, so we plan for him to
Do the prep work, then IKEA installers will put cabinets and counter (separate company but done through IKEA. We can hook up appliances using plumbers from our complex. The kitchen was actually redone 8 years ago, we just don't like color choices and cabinets as well as appliances and the color of the floor.Please tell what you think we will ap spend if 15K is too low estimate in your opinion .
