Kitchen Remodeling

How do you know if you’re paying too much for Kitchen remodeling labor?

Is there a formula for figuring this out? We know exactly how much our materials will cost (appliances, tile, cabinets, etc.) but have no idea what to expect when they give us an estimate for labor. Any help would be appreciated!

Definitely get other bids. However, you do want to be comfortable with the contractor you let into your home, and to be around your family. Sometimes, the lowest price isn’t the way to go, and it’s worth paying a little more for the comfort factor of feeling like he will do a good job. It’s impossible to say what the labor should be, since there are TONS of factors in Remodeling A Kitchen. When you get another bid, make sure – AND THIS IS IMPORTANT – that you are pricing out EXACTLY the same items with all contractors! This means the same appliances, same sink, same faucet, same tile, same countertop – everything. Make sure each contractor includes the same items – demo, new sheetrock, electrical work (be specific about what you are adding), plumbing, etc. If you don’t compare apples to apples, the additional bids you get will be completely irrelevent.
