I m interested in remodeling my kitchen.

Would it be better to contract one of the BIG BOX stores to handle everything or seek separate contactors for flooring, cabinets, counters, lighting, and appliances? What do you recommend?

Thanks for your input. Skip

    Hi Skip,

    It certainly is easier to have one of the big box stores handle it for you and it brings a greater sense of security. Note though that the people who show up to do the work for you are independent contractors in their own right. Usually they are not actually employees of the store but sub-contractors. Shop around and have some separate contractors come by to give you an estimate. There are ...»

    plenty of smaller companies that can handle the entire thing for you. If they can not take on a specific task, they usually have contacts with other tradespersons that can help them out.

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks! I'll be going to the Atlanta Home Show this weekend to get some leads on kitchen remodeling contractors that can give me a quote on handling the complete job.

    It's probably easier to get references from separate contractors than the Big Box Stores. And at least It will help me compare their prices to that of the Big Box Stores.

    Thanks again!
