REALITY RENOVISION I’m sorry but I always found quartz countertops to be just plain ugly as hell, definitely not gonna be in my kitchen.
Cabinets must ALWAYS be SPRAYED ~ NEVER use a brush or roller as it'll just take longer and in the end you'll have inferior results. If you could see the difference IN PERSON you'd understand immediately.
Hey There ...
Love the way you explain. But can you please list the names/brands of the products that you use -such as primers...etc,etc..
Thanks for all the tips
Transition primer?? What other brands can I use -can’t find dulux brand

"In accordance with the tile recommendations of the International Brotherhood of Guys Who Like to Tile". Love it!
I had to pause the video so I didn't miss anything while I laughed.
Love watching this guy! What a pleasant demeanor and voice. he is so easy going and shares wonderful tips while he's schooling you. Great job!
Wow, thank you! Cheers!
I agree. All the way to his signing off.
@@REALITYRENOVISION She's right....you remind me a lot of my dad. My dad always took young couples under his wing and showed them the things THEY could do themselves without having to pay someone big $$. Our first house was a Cape Cod (one of those that were built after the Korean War where you finished the two bedrooms upstairs "when your family grew" is how I think these homes were sold. Our house had a fire in the top two bedrooms....and this was a classic thing, mistakes that were made by backyard (or weekend contractors). Thank God when that fire happened the township had rules in place that if a fire happened, you had to have a professional re-wire the (electrical) the house......
When we started "freshening" up the house, we thought we could paint those metal cupboards in the kitchen but they were AWFUL.....I found a shop (privately owned) that had some cabinets that someone had ordered and didn't take them. They were gorgeous Merilat (sp) Cupboards with a wicker insert in the drawers.....I got the entire set of kitchen cabinets for $500!! I also got a piece of countertop that "looked" like butcher-block for $20!! because it was CUT wrong!
Thanks for telling about how to find reasonably priced counter tops......I am re-doing our kitchen right now.
Mamalo
Really ? This guy is just a hack !
In the 1950's, the cabinets were solid, no fillers. I am 78, and too old to this work, but no matter, I am enjoying your work. Love your tips.
Thanks.
You are the first person who describes really well for the beginner people. Thank you so much!
Very helpful - I love how you explain the details rather than some big picture remodeling that most of us can't do ourselves or even envision.
We inherited a house and everything is outdated so I want to renovate.. Now I'm watching tons of videos. Thanks for this idea 😊
sounds like a great opportunity!
Just have fun with it!!! Dont make it a chore❤
Hows it going?
Turn off the power first
Just remember that after you renovate, it will be outdated within a couple of years.
And you WILL NOT get your money back on it.
Love your channel. My father is a contractor who genuinely cares about his work and his clients homes, has had his own business for over 40 years and your passion and talent remind me of him. Love to see people on TH-cam who are educated and skilled in this beautiful profession. Can’t wait for more!
honestly, i think the kitchen 'before' looks perfectly fine and then the transformation is WOW. i like both looks but the after is definitely a more 'clean' look and just pops compared to the more 'homely' original.
Share your comment
Not it doesn't. Not even the remodeled kitchen looks like anything other than dated. Just another color.
@@aleksanderkac7530 I think that’s because of the white appliances. Changing it to stainless steel would definitely have taken it to another level. However, the owner just wanted a bit of an update to get it more market ready. Updating the appliances would have blown what I’m assuming was a modest budget.
I really enjoyed your video. You are a great teacher. You explained the whys and the what would happen if you didn't. Great job!!!
I've been in this business over 40 years and this guy knows his stuff !
"Don't feel like dealing with live wires... Turn it off" had me dying. 🤣🤣
I hardly ever comment on videos, but ... “the international brotherhood of guys who like to tile” 😂✊ that just cracked me up. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar! Great videos! Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your comment on the work that goes into sanding a non-plain cabinet. I love plain cabinets. So much easier to keep clean.
I love your videos ! Millenial here and it makes me more confident into tackling small renos at home. Thanks for sharing the knowledge :)
I cannot thank you enough!!! I can do this and knowing that I can creates joy. I am a 77 year old woman with COPD and watching your videos made me feel powerful and you need to know how you impact people's lives.
$3000 cost but you're leaving out the 1000 years of experience of this guy
Ùm
CAN I PAINT FORMICA KITCHEN GABINET.? WE ARE SENIORS RETIRED AND WE HAVE A FIXED INCOME SO WE ARE LOOKING FOR THE MORE SHEPER WAY IF THAT IS POSSIBLE AND MAYBE CAN BE DONE. PLEASE COULD YOU GUIDE ME PLEASE IF I CAN DO IT AND HOW. THANKS YOU IN ADVANCE . GOD BLESS YOU 🙏
@@mauriciopadilla3011 Yes you can! Use a quality primer. Talk to paint store for specifics. Don't waste your money on lousy paint here.
Yeah, i'd gladly pay the other 10k for his expertise. This would take me weeks to do on my own.
@@unchistejaja Same here! It would take me a month to do this job; he said in the video that he did it in an afternoon! And his afternoon kitchen remodel would still be 500 times better than my month-long effort, lol!
Required countertop material there to make your home salable? The market is so hot where I live, you could have countertops made out of paper mache and a dead body on the floor and it would STILL sale day one! 😂😂
This is the funniest thing on internet today 😂😂😂
That’s the truth. And in our area they will want to do their own kitchen.
Same in Colorado, sold a house where all I did was take 2 tons of trash out.
seattle?
Hey I remember you
You're the black eye guy from laminate wood flooring. You've been such a great help from helping me do my own home work. I'm doing kitchen next.
I wish I had a father like him...so smart, so skilled, and hardworking. I would hire him in a heartbeat.
The skill with that brush is very understated. I've painted a tone of stuff and messed paint everywhere. This humble dude paints with a brush like surgeon.
He's actually pretty terrible at it. The camera hides a lot. I would never brush or roll a cabinet. It ALWAYS looks bad.
Taking tile out is a pain. Imagine taking off one layer and finding another. LOL
😩😭
so dont buy old house
you can't take those tiles out. You need to cut the drywall out. So 1 or 2 layers doesn't matter.
Exactly
LoL!!! That would definitely call for a sledge hammer. 😡
I love your videos, and all the tips and tricks along the way. I just wish you would show the completion process of the backsplashwall. It may be obvious, but if you have NEVER SEEN or DONE anything like this before, it's so helpful to see the path to the finish line! ☺️👏🏼 This whole video is so helpful. Thank you!
They have perfectly good drawers. I'd love to see a budget remodel with drawer updates (not just refacing) and without tearing everything apart to start from scratch with IKEA.
I am actually doing this right now eith a triplex but no paint job, just bought 2 outdated kitchens on kijiji for 400$, most of them are standard sizes 24, 30, 36 inch based etc with 12, 15 ,18, 24, and 30 inch uppers. ,and I'm using ikea enhet white shaker doors (the cheap budget kitchen at ikea), a 12 inch 30" high door is 16$, however the doors are actually the exact same as home depot white shakers. I use the base white cover panels to side the cabinets and use the toe kicks to fill the spaces in between doors and frame them with 2 by 2 in between cabinet spaces to give it a custom look. Spent about 500$ on doors and cover panels along with about 600$ on updated droors and dampers for hinges where necessary, 50 pack of black matte handles from Amazon for totalled about 150$. The kitchens I bought were quite large so they were able to make all 3 kitchens at the house out of the cabinet bases that came with them. Then shopped for quartz cutoffs from local suppliers and built the kitchens around the existing countertops and averaged about 400$ per counter and bought sinks 200$ a piece. So I averaged about 1300 per kitchen and they look completely brand new
You worked here so precisely and your efforts are appreciable...Great job Sir!!
You and you wife did a great job on this remodel. The kitchen turned out great. I am in the process of renovating my house. Your videos have been incredible helpful
Such a good teacher you make everything so easy to understand. Good job!
Ours is taking over 2 years... I love the way you did the cupboards, that is what is taking the most time.
This was such a great and helpful video! I have to do all the things in the video as my kitchen is 20 years old. And it is a very realistic video-no Carrera marble or $5000 light fixture.
I feel like this guy is like my Dad and I should probably trust EVERYTHING he's saying LOL
Fascinating guy. I can watch all day!
Literally said this to my boyfriend a third of the way into this video!
This is the father I'd never had😂
dude i would do the same shht for 500 bucks
Stepdaughter
“PAN STANDS”, I think they are a must in any kitchen, I’ve just renewed the worktops in my kitchen after thirteen years and I’m sure by always making sure I use a pan stand they have lasted longer. Thank you for your expertise, I have learned a lot from the vlog. 🇬🇧
I think they are called trivets?
U r great. I was going to paint the counter, but now I’m Sadly maybe thinking new counter??? What do u think?? I’m in a co op🙃🙃🙃
I enjoy every video you make! It's very empowering to watch these tutorials. Thank you for taking the time to do this out of your busy schedule.
I just closed on my house yesterday and am starting my remodel this weekend in the kitchen! Perfect timing!
very nice Drew. Congrats!
Me too!
You are going to ruin your kitchen.
@@MAGAMAN It came out great!
This guy is awesome. I've watched alot of his videos. Very informative, very to the point, shows you great quality products and ways to make life easier when doing any project. This channel is much appreciated!
Great advice on stretching the paint. It sure solved the issue I was having with self leveling cabinet paint. Thanks!
Hey Jeff, this is a really awesome new look to the kitchen of refurbishment/remodelling an old one. Just what I needed to watch because I want to do the same to my 22 year old kitchen with solid oak doors similar to your project. The new look is a fresh and contemporary one. Beautiful and thanks for making these videos and giving free information and value.
Wow! That was an amazing job, I bought a house with Formica counters and have wanted to have them changed but was afraid of the cost. Thank you for the quartz idea and a round about cost. Wish you lived in my area😊 Thank you for sharing.
Labor is another few thousand if you can't do it yourself.
I love watching this guy. Makes me excited to start DIY myself
Thank you , Good info. A sponge roller will get a smoother look on the cabinet paint than a woven nap. Cheers.
Jeff Thorman, you are absolutely amazing. Best DIY video I have ever seen!
Great video covering a range of things here. Thats a tiny kitchen ....reminds me of the kitchens they have in the U.K.
💜💜💜this guy. So simple and to the point.
Hi Jeff I just want to say you are a blessing to others heaven sent
39:00 Brilliant! Brilliant! Like watching my Dad build our house growing up. Genius.
Really liked this video and perfect timing as I just put in vinyl planks throughout (and love it!) And doing a back splash and painting my cabinets was next on my renovation list. I was hoping to see the grout put in but I bet I can find more on that on one of your other videos.
Thanks for sharing all those useful tips. I feel more confident that I can do this!
Enjoy your crappy looking cabinets. You would be surprised what horrors a camera can hide.
Wow! Amazing job and the price. I’m getting my brand new house in Jan/feb so I’m gonna try and upgrade myself! Thank you!
Bravo Mr. Thurman! Straightforward, no BS approach, design and execution. Again, Bravo.
I really don't understand how you only have 163k subs. Two years ago, mid 2019, my house flooded. I got a $5,000 insurance payout but that was nearly enough to pay for the water clean up, mold treatment, drywalling, insulating, and new flooring. I watched this channel for a couple weeks to learn how to do it all, AND basic plumbing for the bathroom I was already planning to remodel. Went to Menards and Home Depot, bought the tools and supplies. Got it all done by myself, no help from even family, in a few months time. Just sold that house for $20k more than I bought it for last month. Not sure if it was market value increasing naturally or the work I put in, but regardless, thank you brother.
Thank you for making a very insightful video with lots of helpful tips! Stay safe!
Cheers Fatin, All the best to you and your family during this trying time.
If I've learned anything it's that garbage bags are the most versatile tool I can have 😂
You know it. lol
LOL !!
*duct tape walking away sad*
I line my trays with tin foil. Use the thick stuff.
We really enjoyed the clarity and detail you shared. Lovely job on this affordable yet stunning result.
I love your wonderful attitude while you're doing something you love. Great shows
Cutting corners the smart way, that's my kind of project.
No your just making a problem for somebody else later, take the sheetrock and cheap tile out and replace with the proper tile backer board,its not that much area . If you have to go around a corner edge trim and bullnose around the edges are desighned for one layer of tile not 2 . You dont but tile on top of tile, its not the proper way, i dont care what kind of glue you use, its not the way you do it.
@@jbncnow
Blah blah
If it works it works
It’s not gonna show ever
@@jbncnow LOL Imagine never thinking outside of the box because it's just "not the way you do it". There would be no progress, we would not have started using pig valves for the human heart for example... because until that point it was just not "the way you do it". Open your mind a little. Besides, who cares what kind of work the next guy has to do? Let them worry about that.
Thank you, so efficient and wonderful.
Wow! Fantastic job, I learned so much and you seem so relaxed and happy!
You know this guy knows his stuff because of the way he slaps things when he's talking about them.
hahaha
*slaps counter*
This baby can fit so much food on it
the harder he slaps the more he knows and the slap gives 5+ wisdom
He didn't explained about the city code regarding the electrical outlet by the kitchen sink? The city code on countertop electrical outlets should be a GFCI receptacle installed within 24". On the video you can clearly see no GFCI outlet installed in the first place before the start of the project. Not safety at all, the kitchen sink is always a wet surface area.
@@anthonygrace8913As he clearly explained in the video @ 27:54 ... He likes to live on the wild side. He was not being facetious.
Great info! Our kitchen has been gutted out almost 2months now and no telling when the contractors will get back started with this virus pandemic. But I definitely learned a few things about the countertops and backsplash!
hang in there. at least it is BBQ season!
Love the garbage bag paint tray liner trick! To reduce paint texture when rolling, I would recommend using a foam roller.
This was SO helpful for us. We're just starting renovation, so this was very helpful. You rock!
This is so helpful. The experiences I did not get with my dad lol
"I love a good fight. I usually end up with a black eye"... LOL
great video, a few years ago we were looking at a kitchen reno, decided to just take the cheap for functional melamine cabinet doors off use a hair dryer to get the glue off, light sand and paint. Thought was not likely to work but willing to put the time in as cost was very cheap. Was very surprised how well it turned out! Did a subway tile backsplash (first tile job ever), was very happy with how that turned out. new fixtures and sink. Ended up doing a bamboo countertop. Looks great, does require more work needing to be oiled once or so per year and does stain a tiny bit though we like how the look is always evolving. To get a stain out just put down a bit more mineral oil and the stain melts away.
It's amazing how a little bit of work, mostly paint to a lighter colour completely changes the space. More light looks far larger. If you can extend cabinet and counter down a galley kitchen can create a ton new space for little loss.
Beautiful!! Great Video. I'm jealous! I can barely hang a picture on the wall. This guy has natural talent beyond words.
I like when he says process. It’s satisfying
Interesting concepts to tile over tile and lay vinyl plank over other. I would've loved to have seen close ups on the brushed aluminum trim and the transition, reinstalled baseboards. The tile looked lovely, but I'd like to see the details shown more clearly after finishing. Your explanations are quite well done!
There is a good reason he doesn't show a closeup of the finished products. They look like crap. I can also guarantee that those tiles will start popping off in the not too distant future.
@@MAGAMAN This was a project for people who don't wanna spend much, I do those things all the time in my own home, is a quick fix, looks good, and it can last as long as you take care of it. I have seen houses that were well done and fell apart soon as a family of five with dogs and cats got in the picture.
I loved the old kitchen renovation you did, with such a low dollar amount. also your little, but important comments and suggestions you made along the way. you do your job much better than college professors.
Great video. Thanks for updating us. What we did with our dark oak cabinets was to degrease with tsp and rinse rinse rinse it off and then sand so you don’t drive the grease into the wood. Sand until you think your done and then sand some more. Two coats of primer allowing a full day between coats to dry. Then two coats of an enamel top coat paint allowing at-least 2 or 3 days to dry between coats. Then let cure couple weeks before putting on hardware and installing. Lots of work but you won’t regret it. We just posted on our channel a 2 and half yr update video on our painting results.
Love all your tips. Excellent. Music however makes hearing tough.
can I work with this guy? He seems to be so fun hahahahhahaha such a good vibe
Lol i thought the same 😅 i was thinking I'll pay you, hire me 🤣
love your super easy renovation, it looks amazing and very affortable!! I will be my kitchen cabinets and counters,, I will follow your instruction hopefully they come out as nice as this tutorial
Love how in depth your videos are! A tip to remove the metal marks on quartz is a small amount of BarKeepers on a cloth with some water will take off the metal marks. Using bleach on quartz can start to dull the shine and since quartz is a non-porous product, you cannot put a sealant on quartz.
I’m not going to lie, tile work looks intimidating. The previous owner did that paint stuff over the ugly yellow existing tile. I have a full tile shower and a bath. Your videos are inspiring me to do it! I’m just worry about prepping everything and if I need to fix something in the shower or the bath area like the waterproofing. Proud subscriber and ready to learn!!!
starting on a backsplash is a great way gain confidence. Use a laser level and you will be fine!
REALITY RENOVISION oops i started with a balcony first then bathroom floors then shower walls and just today i did my grandmother’s back splash😂 just need the name for the trim you used i can’t seem to find it 😞
We need you in the UK when every thing gets back to some type of normal. 👌🏾
Things are normal in the UK, this is the new normal.
Just bought a small home that needs exactly that renovation - omg Hope I can find someone in my area that do all that beautiful work- very informative and enjoyable, Thanks
I'm glad I found this channel !!!
New subbie! I'm buying my first rental and this is great info even though I will be hiring a professional. I still like to have some knowledge. You provided great info. Beautiful reno
Thanks for subbing! best of success with the reno. Cheers!
Hey how much did it cost you if you dont mind me asking.
Omg, I have those cabinets, that countertop (in green, gross) AND that Harry Potter owl mug! So funny.
Just found this wonderful program and will watch it daily from now on
142k subscribers. You should have 10 million with that knowledge.
great stuff man
Cheers!
Thank you for such useful information. Will you be able to have a list of tools and suggested products that you used so that us newbies can follow more exactly. Also, can such tile process be done in a Bathroom shower area given that there will be water and higher "traffic" in the shower walls? Thanks
You should NEVER tile over tile on a bathroom shower or tub wall. The floor is okay if the prep is done first. It will raise your floor and be aware when you go to reset the toilet you'll need a longer toilet flange. This was a nice way to freshen up an old kitchen for less.
I'm really impressed that you painted all the sections of those cabinets with the contents STILL INSIDE!
Absolutely brilliant finish. Man I love watching all your work, the way you explain each step and most importantly how to save money, yet end up with beautiful finishes. Cannot wait to get started on my kitchen. Thanks for the tip, loved the use of garbage bags.
Thanks for your comment Katie. All the best on your reno! Cheers, Jeff
@@REALITYRENOVISION thanks Jeff, bit nervous but up for the challenge. Cheers Katie
Thanks for showing me how to take the cabinets off properly !! I though i had to take all the screws inside the cabinets but I guess it just pops for that section WHO KNEW LOL... I have the same type of cabinets hooks but much longer and black!
can you just put a good primer without sanding? My cabinets are expensive
L
Now if you don't feel comfortable playing with live power "heh", turn it off. Smashed the like button
You are such a good teacher! Love your videos & attention to detail.
You did a great job.....Being handy is real skill
Such a knowledgeable, honest and friendly guidance... and so many ingeniously simpler solutions... builders in London are hopeless - they just know how to rip everything out and break budgets... unless you’re lucky enough to get a foreigner for the job
Many builders like to follow that approach. very profitable.
Great video! I can't find the comment I thought I left. Hmmm. Can we use these same backsplash products to apply tile directly onto painted drywall? Thank you!
in most cases yes. Cheers!
Love it! We called Home Depot to quote us on refacing our existing oak cabinets. The guy over and measured and at the end of his sales pitch the total we got quoted for out kitchen was $30,000 - to REFACE our existing cabinets! Total joke! We ended up buying new cabinets from Dreamline cabinets in a Chicago suburb and saved big time money! I really like this method of upgrading the kitchen and if I would have seen this video 2 years ago I might have done it this way - looks great! How is this channel just a TH-cam deal? The personality of the host and the camera work is so great. Blows away all the home remodeling TV shows for sure.
Jeff , You did an amazing job on the kitchen cabinets and tiles.
We had gotten a quote for painting our cabinets, he suggested getting our counter top and back splash done before painting the cabinets. I noticed you did the oppoisite. Which is best? Thanks for sharing this with us. :)
contractors always want to be last to avoid return trips. I always paint first and tile over to ensure a seamless finish.
Paint first so that you don't get paint on your new countertops
im in love with those tiles so absolutely beautiful and can you come to my house and help us lol
This is such a great video. It is chock full of information for home owners even if you have to hire some one to do the reno. There are many Contractors that do not know very much. When the owner does not know much they pay the price and do not get quality. It is an over whelming process when you have many repairs. Thank you!!!!
Wow wow wow.... U r very talented... Thank you so much for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
I loved this video! What do you recommend hiring for vs trying to tackle ourselves? I was thinking the only thing I’d attempt to tackle myself was painting cabinets and and demoing the floors then hire someone to do counters, backsplash, and flooring install!
How can you help others. Plz reply
That kitchen spruced up pretty nice! But I can't be the only one who feel sick to their stomach when hardwood gets covered up by paint. I don't understand the white trim and white cabinet trend. I love the look of maple and oak.
So much good information!! That quartz is gorgeous!
Thanks so much for showing us the beautiful re-modeled kitchen,
Take a shot every time he says “Pro-cess”...I’m blitzed.
Loving IT!
