  • Kitchen remodel quotes are all over the place, how do I compare them properly?

    We’re finally doing our kitchen and I’ve had three contractors out so far, and the quotes are so different in structure that I can’t actually compare them. One gives a single lump sum, another itemises everything, and the third is somewhere in between with a bunch of “allowances” I don’t understand. I’ve been looking at The Kitchen and Bath Company of Palo Alto as one option, but I’m realising the bigger problem is I don’t know what to ask to make these quotes comparable. Should I be insisting on a detailed breakdown, or is a lump sum actually safer? And what are the usual things contractors leave out that end up costing more later? I’d rather go in prepared than get surprised halfway through.
