I am trying to update my (circa 70s) kitchen to help with potential resale value. Due to odd cabinet sizes, it appears that I am going to have to have custom work done–can’t buy the sizes I need from stock Also looking to replace the counters with granite or man-made quartz surface.

I have three places from Service Magic and am going to have the usual suspects (Sears, HD, Lowes) give me estimates. Anyone have any advice/warnings/recommendations?

Also, to save money, I want to do a stainless back-splash myself. I saw a reference to go to the Bowery for that, but no one mentioned any specific places–do I just go door-to-door there or can someone recommend a place that can provide specific cut-size with holes for outlets, too?

Thanks!
