A home remodeling company updated my friend’s kitchen. The kitchen is 122 square feet. The contractor put a wash machine, dry machine, microwave, oven, dishwasher, and some drawers. I found the prices for each appliance, so the total cost is around $6500. The contractor charged my friend for $21,500. The above is not including the flooring work. They estimated another $3,800 for flooring. They disposed all old appliances. Do y’all think the price is reasonable? What should my friend do if it is not? Thank you!!
Is the remodel unreasonable? No, not at all.
We remodeled our kitchen, and we moved the spaces for three appliances and added a space for another (drawer microwave). That involved electrical and plumbing work.
The only scam would be if the contractor pushed unwanted services that the customer did not request, or if your friend was influenced to buy when there was no money for the project.
A $21,000 kitchen remodel isn't out of line.
