When renovating and flipping a house, you have to upgrade the kitchen. One of the techniques is, of course, keeping the cabinetry that already exists. That's the best way to save money if you can, if it's in good shape and if it's a good wood cabinet. And here's the technique that I always use: never have them paint it, have them spray, there's a big difference. Don't have someone come in and just hand paint or roll the cabinets. Have them professionally sprayed because they begin to look like factory cabinets and you get to keep the existing cabinets. It's a great technique! It doesn't cost that much more, but if you can keep your cabinetry and you have them sprayed, keep them. Put on new counter tops, put in some new hardware, and then that's a huge savings and big upgrade.
