applefreak 1 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 the granite top part is really trickyunless it's one whole slab without any cut out for sink or stovecoz natural stone is totally not flexible, any force applied wrongly will cause it to snapmaybe you want to consider redoing the whole thing?going rate should be around $100 +-$15 without top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yokine9a 1 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 I got Ho Bee to do the reno for my flat. As for my kitchen cabinet, I was quoted $95 per foot run. They are using solid plywood with ABS trimmings. You could give they a call to see if their carpenter Ah Keong can take your job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
