Arizona Couple Saves $65,000 on a Gut & Re-build Dream Kitchen
Disclaimer: Not all DIYers will match this phenomenal success.
When Mike, a semi-retired engineer, and his wife Lisa set out to gut and rebuild their kitchen, they had two goals: minimalist luxury – and no six-figure invoice. They followed TRA’s methodology like a religion, chased every possible pro-tip, and were extremely patient and persistent. Project duration: about 3-1/2 months.
They weren’t in a rush. Mike had some craft skills. Lisa had vision. And together, they used Trusted Remodel Advisor tools and tips for their remodeling project – start to finish.
“We weren’t looking to cut corners. We just wanted to take control, save big, and experience the pride of building our own dream. It was challenging work, but Trusted Remodel Advisor delivered the tools and knowledge that helped us run our remodel like a general contractor – on our terms – for a fraction of the cost.”
They planned it like pros using the cost estimator to determine where Mike’s work would deliver the biggest labor savings. Based on actual local costs, Mike’s labor saved an estimated $30,000 compared to contractor’s labor and markup. They did what they could – had a friend help install cabinets for a day, painting, minor re-plumbing, finish trim, finish plumbing and electrical, and closely coordinating a few laborers and specialists as needed.
They bought all the materials for the job at negotiated contractor pricing at Home Depot and Lowes – that saved over $1,500 in contractor’s material mark ups (usually 15%). They subbed out the big safety items to licensed pros – like gas lines and 220V electrical re-routing.
After “spec’ing” their appliances, armed with TRA’s sourcing tips (shop nationally, not locally), they went online to win big:
The result? A high-end, $120,000 Architectural Digest-worthy kitchen for half the price.
