 |
|
The place I moved to was built in the early 90s and I'm guessing has not been renovated since that time. I have a rough idea of what replacing the floors and wallpaper will cost me, but I'd also like to have a new kitchen sink and cabinets installed. Has anyone ever done this in Korea and if so, how much did it cost you?

| The cost will vary depending on what you want to put in the place. I can tell you that your neighbors will not be happy with all the noise the renovations will make. |

Just a sink and cabinets in the kitchen... and I don't care if the neighbors are unhappy  |

| MIL had the kitchen renovated a few months ago. The price depends on a number of variables but mainly on the length of the cabinets. She got quotes from local �interior� stores and from Hansem. The latter was only 10-20 percent more so she chose that. It was 3 or 3,5 meters I think included a 3 burner built-in style gas range the range hood thing and sink with tap. She paid around 2.5 million won. It also included the installation and getting rid of the old one. |

Thanks for the reply. Was this a full-size kitchen? |

It�s in a 3 bedroom+living room 24 pyeong apartment so even though it wouldn�t be considered full-size kitchen in Western countries I think it is here.
Again, the total length of it was perhaps 3 meters which is an entire wall of a good sized room. |

| I couldn't say without knowing how big your apartment is, but you can spend as much as you want since wallpaper and flooring comes in all prices. Best advice I can give you is to shop around. |

Ok I obviously wasn't being clear enough in my last two posts.
I just want to know the prices people paid for
*****KITCHEN SINK AND CABINET REPLACEMENT*****
(so that I can get an idea of whether it's even worth looking into).
I am aware that this will be more than a 50,000 won job, that it will cause noise, that a variety of businesses offer this service... etc.
Thank you. |
