That said, I also think, with the major slowdown in construction, if you wait 6 months, you can get much better pricing (and responsiveness) on the work as there will be a glut of underemployed construction workers.

We had planned on starting on April, so hopefully our timing will be right.
The kitchen is pretty bad. Green formica countertops, white appliances, late 80s cabinets with gold hardware (the kitchen hasn't been upgraded since it was built in '88).
We want new countertops, appliances and cabinets (either new or refaced*). I don't want to spend more than $20k (and would prefer $15k).
Thanks for the input, Cletus.
*the cabinets are actually of decent quality, but significantly out of style.
