Reworking contractor recomendation [Seattle area]

Summer time glided by in a flash as we launched into the above reworking for six weeks encompassing June until mid-July. I discovered a contractor on a suggestion from an employer curiosity group. I had received quotes elsewhere to make sure quotes have been in line and to additionally perceive issues I ought to look out for. The next is what we ended up doing for a really affordable, truthful and in some instances below-market materials purchases quotes, saving taxes and so forth. due to some particular relationships.

– Flooring: we ended up going with waterproof laminates by means of the entire home (together with. bogs), not LVP as initially supposed. A lot thicker materials, longer guarantee, however extra importantly, this sample was the one one my SO favored. Ground seems to be nice. Most subfloor creaking is resolved. 1-2 spots nonetheless stay in the home however I keep away from strolling on these spots
– Cupboards: Refacing was virtually related in value to new cupboards. We went with new cupboards in all places.
– New bathrooms: 2 Toto from Costco and 1 nicer wanting skirted one from HD. Flushing is a pleasure with these newer, extra environment friendly bathrooms as in comparison with our older water-guzzling bathrooms.
– Counter tops are quartz as are the single-piece bathe panels. We received them regionally principally (MSI is predicated in Kent within the larger Seattle space).
– New home equipment: LG fridge the place I don’t intend to make use of the water capabilities, Whirlpool dishwasher, each Costco. Moen taps and bathe heads, additionally Costco.
– Painted the whole home. New recessed lighting instead of the older ones.
– SO went beserk with newer furnishings changing each older piece which we principally gave away without spending a dime to our contractor, neighbors (However Nothing FB teams) or Habitat for Humanity.

Unbelievable however all in ~100K. As mentioned earlier, there have been some particular relationships exploited to save cash on supplies, labor was moderately and individually priced. Workmanship is alright, no main complaints, significantly.
I didn’t do something DIY besides researching supplies, home equipment and so forth. and buying / returning them myself.
