Ways to save in Westminster

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.
