my pinapagawa kaming house ngayon and ako yung nagaasikaso,in my opinion mas mahal ang pagpaint ng cabinets lalo na kapag automotive finish ang gagawin, compared sa laminated flat finish naman siya ang kinagandahan sa laminated atleast alam mo na yung kulay na lalabas you just have to choose the right combination of colors. i think 500 plus lang yung malaking laminated.

Yun kasi ang sabi ng carpenter ko mas mahal din kasi ang labor ko kasi mahirap daw laminate compared to paint. 600/pc yung pinakacheapest laminate. Nagpapagawa din kasi ako ng house and hands on ako sa lahat kaya may idea ako ng lahat. Yung sa cheapest wood na gagamitin, kahit sa mamahaling paint kung cheapest wood di din tatagal. I used an anti termite wood. Bahay mo naman kasi ang aayusin mo so why settle for less? :)

ako naman i'm planning to have furniture all wood stained. why? with it, i can match the pieces made of different types of wood, so magmumukha silang pareho ng type. pwede rin ang wood stain sa non-wood surface.

^ sis yan bang wood stain ay yung varnish na may color like mahogany or chestnut, etc?
Question pala sisses,nagpapa-estimate kasi ako ng built-in cabinet sa contractor.Size is 96in height, 50in width. Plyboard ang gagamtin,varnish na mahogany stained ang paint.The contractor initially quoted me P8k daw for 5 days gagawin.Natuwa ako coz ang mura.Then the next day he said labor lang daw yun, ako bahala sa materials.Is the price ng labor reasonable? 2 tao silang gagawa.

^ sakin sis 7 ft ang cabinet ko pero di sya built in ha. malaki sya tsaka malapad bale yung width ng gilid nya di ako sure sa measurement pero ang ginawa ng karpintero e hinati nya lang yung plyboard so kalahati ng ply board ang width nya. Tapos yung lapad naman front and back e 1 whole ply board. Ayoko kasi ng may retaso kaya dapat sakto lang ang sukat.

1,200 lang ang labor nya 2 1/2 days lang nila ginawa 2 lang din sila. yung pintura parang brown black ang dating.

Ewan ko kung reasonable ang quote nila sa yo..baka kasi especialty nila yan. Sakin kasi all around kapintero namin yun pero maganda naman ang cabinet namin.

Yung pinagawa ko kasi sis is from floor to roof yung sakop nung cabinet, then yung width is from left wall to right wall nung room namin. Then hindi lang sya basta 2-door cabinet, meron 4 doors sa ibabaw, 4 doors sa gitna, then 6 drawers sa ibaba. Tapos dun sa middle doors, pagbukas mo may mga dividers pa sa loob. Ako nagdesign nung cabinet kaya customized according sa gusto ko. May isa pa akong natanungan na carpintero, almost ganun din ang quote nya sa labor, 8k din. Pag daw sa kanya na ang materials aabot ng 14k, lahat na yun.

what kind of wood kaya ang magandang gamitin for the kitchen cabinets? Yung tipong magandang pinturahan na parang magiging glossy sya...

pede na iyong marine ply na ply wood. tapos dapat magaling painter mo. docu finish iyong tawag don sa glossy ang finish pag pintura gamitin.

his sis stormy sorry sobrang late rep na, finishing na kasi nung house kaya busy tayo ngayon anyway, im not sure sa ducco finish sis, an tawag na nadidinig ko according sa arch. flat finish na iba yung texture. depende naman sa maglalagay sis kung magaling yun gagawa at sa pagpapainit daw yun nung laminated kung maganda o panget ang gawa.kasi they use daw machine para pala idikit yun.

^ok sis kausapin ko naman si architect. Medyo naguguluhan ako sa cabinets (dapat tama ang desisyon kasi ayaw ko mahirapan masyado sa paglilinis at ayaw ko rin magpalit agad) gusto ko kasi tempered glass door sana. D ko lang afford ang dexterton pero nagagandahan talaga ako sa mga nasa showroom nila

saan may maganda na wood na binebenta for cabinet? Kasi sa bahay namin, may ipis and daga, so we need stronger kind of wood. Sabi ng mom ko ok lang pangit itsura ng wood, imporatant is at least masmatibay sa normal kind of wood. Magpapagawa kasi kami.

Cabinet and table papagawa namin. Sa mga malls kasi, either super mahal or wala yun gusto namin na design.

^sis patingin ng cabinets mo pag tapos na ha? Ang galing mo naman alam mo paraan maachieve yung nagustuhan mo na istilo. Pag kasi nagtatanong na ako ng alternatibo na paraan pero kahit paano medyo hawig sa gusto ko e nakukulitan na sa akin kausap ko. "Bawal magtipid" yata motto nitong mga taong ito.

Yung kitchen cabinets sa house namin pinasadya, dunno kung anong klase wood na ginamit and what kind of finish pero ok naman ang kalpentero na nakuha ng brother ko. I think before, someone quoted more than half mil for the cabinets of the entire house.
