    How do you guys think of the wood-like tile on the right hand side of this picture? Will it look nice in a 2,000 sqft contemporary-style open space?

    And where did you guys find the contractors/subcontractors? I find mine from Craigslist and facebook, which I think are places of low-price labors (quality is another issue). But it seems my quote is higher than your guys. For instance, labor on tile installation ranges $5-$7 /sqft. This does...

    Demolish costs ?$600-$1000 for a home around 3000-3500 sqft.? This is the lowest price I have ever seen. I have quoted around for a 5k sqft home (roughly 70% carpet and 30% tile), and it ranges from 7k to 15k. Would you mind sharing with me the contact info pf the demolishing guy?

    I am kind of surprised to see you all use hard/engineer wood on the first floor (including kitchen where waterproof is going to be an issue with wood flooring). Most of the model homes I've visited use high-quality porcelain tiles on the first floor, as it is more durable, scratch resistant and...

    If there is a side yard, then 10' backyard setback is not that bad.

    Dirty kitchen

    Yes, it is a 5,000 sqft home. It is right now a walk in pantry behind the main kitchen with a shared common wall. It is relatively convenient to build a dirty kitchen there as it can share the same utility pipes with the main kitchen in the common wall, but it is going to reduce the storage...

    Dirty kitchen

    We are thinking of building a dirty kitchen in our new home as we really like the idea of keeping the main kitchen nice and clean for entertaining. But I am also concerned about the ROI, say for 5 years (that is how long we are likely to live in the house). How does it compares to that of an...
