Is $55,000 to renovate my kitchen with Home Depot cabinets a fair price?
Project Details
I am currently getting all our numbers together for a full kitchen renovation. I have quotes from Home Depot and a place called Cabinet Outlet, with a difference of about $2,500 for the cabinets. I understand Home Depot cabinets are MDF, whereas Cabinet Outlet offers wood with dovetail drawers and soft close. I am trying to determine if the extra money for the Cabinet Outlet cabinets is really worth it compared to Home Depot.
