Has anyone used one of those kitchen remodeling places that advertice a complete remodel for $3995-4995?

The ads say that they include solid oak cabinets and granite countertops (with certain specifications as to cabinet size and linear feet of counter), as well as demolition and installation. (This is in Southern California, San Gabriel Valley area.) Also interested in the $2995 bathroom remodel ads if you have experience with those.

1. What they offer you cabinet wise is the stock oak cabinets..here is a pic of them. Usually this is what they offer: http://www.easykitchencabinets.com/Oak%20Kitchen%20Cabinets.JPG If you are renting or trying to stay on a tight budget, it's not such a bad solution. But if you are trying to fix up your home to re-sell, I find it hard for you to get the money back in the sale. Buyers want to see nicer cabinetry and natural stone or quartz counter tops. Have fun with your remodel!
2. There are many "kinds" of Oak and different qualities and colors of Granite. They must be offering the lowest of each. You get what you pay for.
3. Before under taking a kitchen remodel - Ask yourself - Do I need a new kitchen? http://www.brandsconstruction.com/Blogb2/blog5.php/Do-I-Need-A-New-Kitchen/ Before Hiring a Kitchen Contractor - Know you have the right contractor. http://www.brandsconstruction.com/Blogb2/blog5.php/Kitchen-Contractors-Before-Hiring-Kitchen-Contractors/ If you desire a new kitchen, planning and understanding of each of your goals needs to happen for you to be satisfied with your new kitchen. Many people go out and spend hard earned money on a new kitchen, essentially throwing money away because they are spending money on trying to make their life better - instead of focusing on what they want and what they need, and then finding a balance between these two if reality and their budget does not allow them what they want. The total dollar for a new kitchen is simply a total of over 100 items put together. If you want to be happy with the results for a new kitchen - It takes work! Keeping a folder and a small box with your kitchen planning info for each area, will bring you success and satisfaction with your new kitchen!
