Hi R.,
I just remodled my kitchen through lowes and I love It! I was able to get everything I wanted within our budget. If you take your own measurment and go in and sit with one of there consultants they can design and give you an estimate, unlike homedepot. They use a list of contractors for their installation and other work that might need to be done. the installer even said that we could just pay them directly instead of paying the lowes price on some electrical and demo we had done.
I used the Lowes off of Gibert and Warner, Mary May was my sales person and she rocks! If you would like to see my before and afters email me at ____@____.com
good luck( it's so much fun!)!
