We remodeled our kitchen for $25K with new solid Maple cabinets, granite counter tops, slate tile backsplash, new stainless steel appliances and plumbing.
We went through Home Depot for the cabinets, tear out and installation and every thing was guarenteed in writing and done on time. Their contractors have to do a good job or they get booted by Home Depot. All work was done with satisfaction guarentee's.
We looked at custom cabinets and installers, but home depot was cheaper had good quality cabinets and guarenteed their work.

We went with a custom granite company though. More choices and cheaper prices.
