am redoing my whole kitchen and my bathrooms and well the construction person i am using plans on using $8-$10 square feet granite. i am not in construction so i have no idea but does this sound like cheapo granite to you? also take in consideration this is wholesale price not consumer price.

i am doing my whole kitchen with resuface my cabinets and redoing a stain and 2 bathrooms and 1 master bathroom. Everything is gutted and replaced. from the light fixtures to towel racks, and the floor with granite. he is quoting me $50k.

any input?

I take it the $8-10 sq ft price for granite is for tiles in your bathroom right? Since a solid slab of granite for a kitchen would be considerably more costly.

Did you already pick out the granite tiles?

How large is your kitchen, bathrooms, master bathroom etc?

Kitchen have an island?

From what I gather, you are re-surfacing your kitchen cabinets and redoing your counter tops in the kitchen?

yes also the $50k is including the kitchen sink with stainless, and $7500 worth of appliances excluding washer/dryer/refrigerator.
