The Interior

Kitchen

Builders will offer you a variety of cabinet finishes and counter-top materials. The standard cabinets are typically oak flat paneled in a square frame. The upgraded door illustrated is a raised-panel, arched frame, maple door. Generally, your choice of kitchen cabinets will carry through to all cabinets in the home.

Standard countertops are either ceramic tile or a laminate material such as Formica or Wilsonart. Upgrading to solid surface materials such as Corion may add $2,000-$4,000 to the price of your home. Marble is not recommended for countertops as it can be easily stained by coffee, wine or citrus materials. However, granite offers a stain and scratch resistant food preparation surface.

Whether you are buying a new home or a resale it is customary for the stove and dishwasher to be included. The appliances in a new home base model are usually white-on-white basic models. Self-cleaning ovens and stainless steel finishes are upgrades.
