LOL fuck flippers. Making living expensive for everyone else.

Also their 'renovations' usually just need to be taken out or repaired to normal by the buyer as they rarely use proper licensed tradesmen, or check to see if what they're doing is even sound for the building. I've seen a center brick fireplace, clearly holding up the roof, just ripped out and plastered over.

My question isn't their taste, but their budget. How the hell did that kitchen cost $15,000? Even if they had to replace everything I couldn't see it being more than $5k.

Is the floor also marble?

15k is a very normal price to flip an entire kitchen. Not even counting the appliances. Just the flooring and cabinets.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah it seems like I can't get anything done for < 6000 anymore. I can't imagine a whole kitchen costing only 15

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you keep all the existing appliances and build your own cabinets while already having all the requisite tools and do absolutely everything yourself, it's doable, but tight. Shits expensive these days.

Lol when was the last time you priced out a kitchen remodel? 5k would maybe get you the cabinets

2-3k to paint existing cabinets, new hardware 4-5k epoxy floor and countertops 4-5k new appliances 3-4k left for drywall, paint, lighting, trim, framing, hvac, plumbing, electrical.

She could have gotten more for less but not by much when you are hiring it all out. Doesn't even look like she touched the tile backsplash, which would be 1-2k more.

I remodel kitchens in the midwest, and we would charge a lot more than that for this size kitchen. She clearly didn't spend for a designer, though.

Man, I love me some purple/violet, but this just ain't it

Although I don't hate the floor. With something complimentary going on it would actually look good imo

[–] Death_Equity 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That floor would pair well with an uncontrolled structure fire.

15k on what exactly? They just painted the wooden doors of the old units purple.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 14 points 1 week ago

On the drugs that convinced them to do this.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Seems legit to me. Pretty much any kitchen reno is hard to keep under $10k. It adds up soo fast

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

Assuming you get a contractor to do it for you, and most self-respecting contractors should refuse to do this job.

Personally I like it, but I am well aware that I have tacky taste.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I know several people who would pick this house just for the kitchen..

Corporations are purchasing unprecedented amounts of real estate, but it's definitely the market that's keeping this from selling.
