Another Kitchen

Project by Dustin posted 67 days ago 385 views 0 times favorited 8 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This was my third attempt at a kitchen and I still didn’t really feel that I knew what I was doing… I did this job for 2k which was about what it cost. Now that I look at the finished job I wish I had charged more but it was a good learning experience and would lead to bigger and better jobs down the road.

I used Knotty Alder and some weird exterior plywood I found at Lowes.

All of that for 2K. That’s charity work, but building a reputation is important. Looks to me like you know what you are doing. Great job.

It looks pretty good to me. You might find that 2K is pretty close to the going rate for cabinets. If you get a real lumber and hardware supplier you might start hitting a profit. To really do kitchens you will have to be fast and comfortable with the process. It looks like you have made a great start!

I agree with Rex, Looks like you’re doing a great job. It is important to build your reputation, but don’t sell yourself short and never give your work away.

Thinking back that price would not have included delivery or installation. Tack on another $500.00.
