Ways to save in Huntsville
- Keep the plumbing and range where they are — moving them is the single biggest hidden cost.
- Reface or paint solid cabinet boxes instead of replacing: saves 60–70% of the cabinet line.
- Buy appliances during Black Friday or Memorial Day sales and store them until install week.
- Choose quartz remnants for small counters and islands.
- Order everything before demo day — delays are what turn a 6-week job into a 4-month job.
