    Construction material when building a house. If you want to live there for many years go for overkill.

      Yes! I see owners all the time asking “what’s the cheapest x” or saying “im going to source that myself” only to complain during/after installation that something doesn’t look good.

      The price difference between a $3,000 and a $10,000 set of cabinets is negligible when wrapped into a 30 year mortgage, but consider just how important they are visually and how often you’ll be using them (every day)
