Renovating a Kitchen. Looking for Advice.
Mrs. Buehler445 and I are buying a different house. It is really what we want in terms of size, layout, neighborhood, etc. The only drawback is there are no upper cabinets in the kitchen...WTF? Anyway, we made the decision to man up and put in a kitchen that we want.

Since I'm a home renovation n00b, I'd appreciate any advice, tips, or experiences the CP braintrust can provide.

In doing this, we are going to have to come up with,

Cabinets (obviously)

Countertop

Backsplash

Moving the sink I hate plumbing. But it shouldn't be too bad, the plumbing is in an unfinished portion of the basement

Flooring which I'm pretty comfortable with.

Most of the work will be hired, partially because I'm a noob. Partially because I'm busy as ****.

TIA

EDIT: Already have the antifreeze tap on order.

This is what I think is funny home remodeling. It has nothing to do with what is practical, everything to do with what is in style. Its reeruned. And the term "dated". Which basically means everything is still useful but somebody onHGTV in the last 5 years decided that isnt tasteful anymore. All it does is make homeowners spend more money on new useless shit

I just had my hall bathroom remodeled for 2.8k. All new plank grigio tile on floor and up entire shower. Fan installed. Huge mosaic backsplash. New toilet, paint, granite vanity. After estimates of 8.5k and 11k, seems like a good deal.

While I'd want something stylish for the counter-tops, I'd also want something that is easy to maintain and easy to care for.

Exactly. The money spent will have a pretty good ROI, b/c of the no maintenance factor. Same goes for the backsplash. It will never be "dated", as it's not about the visual appeal, that's merely a bonus. The purpose of the backsplash is to mitigate the effects of water and grease splatter, and make for easy cleaning. Buyers love that.

Ive heard ppl complain that Granite isnt easyto maintain. I dont see why. I just use the granite sealer every couple years and call it good. Still looks fine to me but im probably doing it wrong

You have to maintain granite? I've had mine for eight years and all I ever do is wipe the crumbs off. It doesn't look any different now than it did new.

I have never heard anyone say a backsplash is out of style. The best designers are still using them. So consider the source on that one.

Get multiple estimates, prep work is everything, do things in order, hire people who can produce a license, don't hand over ANY money up front, make a plan and stick to it and hire the proper trade for each phase. Follow these steps and you should be okay
