dont have exact measuremnts right now as i havent moved in yet, but any rough estimate of cost?

I would say at least 3k-5k for good work. All depends on the material you want to use, MDF, laminate surface or real wood.

most likely mdf with nice veneering

Yeah, i would say 3-5k if your not including the kitchen cabinets. If you do, then it will be over 10k easy. Anyone who can do custom work should be able to do it. Just ask for references and pictures of his previous work.

Rowhome on 88th and 161? See if u can get a hold of people who's still working there... U may ask them if they are interested in side job.

you moving into westwood soon?

^yeah im already moved in at westwood

Nice, I don't move in till next spring. How you liking it so far?

Next Spring, wow thats a long time haha, im guessing you bought the units closer to the train tracks?
Im liking it so far, the area is so convenient, everything you need is within a 5 minute drive. Neighbours are cool, mostly young couples and young families.

Just remember for the walkthrough before you move in, be as picky as you can. I managed to get them to replace 2 doors, touch up alot of walls, and fix some electrical problems with the 3 way switches that didnt work properly, I could fix it myself since im an electrician, but why bother when you payed for a brand new unit? Theyre just small things but saves you the hassle of taking time off work after you move in to have someone come in and fix it. Which floorplan did you get by the way?

Yep I'm closer to the tracks. Small world I'm an electrician too haha. I bought the aspen plan, what about you?

im in a fremont, i was sold on the washroom and den downstairs lol

who do you work for?

I saw these pics on facebook lol, damn facebook ads

Have you found anybody yet? My uncle and bro work with custom cabinets, they don't really work with real wood, it's far too expensive to get decent work in the lower mainland, they do mostly laminate and veneer. I don't think they rip off their customers, but it's not going to be dirt cheap either.

PM me with some photos and perhaps a similar concept that you're thinking and I'll have them get in touch.
