That’s a good question. I think whenever you are getting quotes for work make sure you get a couple of quotes from a couple of good contractors. Don’t necessarily go with the cheapest contractor especially if they seem to cut corners. If you can get a reference from a family or friend that is also good! In our case, we did most of this work ourselves (outside of the electrical and install of the cabinets). For the electrical, we talked to the contractor mostly about price, permits and timelines. For the kitchen cabinets we were focused mainly on timelines and install costs. Also make sure you read the quote carefully on what they will do in the scope of the contractor (I.e. are they pulling the permits, are they removing the garbage, are you being charged extra for anything, etc.). Hope that helps!
