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.
