It depends on the local market ( and somewhat on the materials, but the market is the most important issue.) This is for "custom " grade, not off the shelf cabinetry from Home Despot. Is custom better than off the shelf? Maybe. Depends on who is building it and especially how it was built. Yes, the granite or imitation granite or marble or whatever is around $ 5- 10K, but if you add a decorative edge detail, this can escalate quickly. Finally, the appliances..... $20K sounds right for a fancy kitchen set of appliances. ( "normal" appliances are around $5K or less.) Flooring, paint, electrical, lighting is extra. Add as much as you wish. Full Kitchen job? Minimum $20K Top end? I saw a kitchen that cost...... $450K. It was nice, but $450K?. We just finished a kitchen for a school project.... The job, without appliances, granite, or extras, using custom made cabinets ( capable of living through an earthquake of ( seemingly) 11.9 rating) was $50K in value. I will not comment on factory cost except to say that it was less.... Especially since ALL the labor was free. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net What planet do YOU live on - I'll bet the APPLIANCES ran $20K, the counter tops (with installation $10K unless they used a marble in blue so it becomes $20K), and the cabinets, if they're good, another $20K. Yes, we're about to remodel our kitchen -- any day now -- good thing I'm still not eating! Adam
