Orange County Floor Kitchen Bath

I purchased a home where the previous owner (now moved out of the country) remodeled the kitchen and put in all new Sears appliances. The dishwasher leaked the first time I used it and the repair person said the tub is cracked – probably a factory defect. I don’t know how long the dishwasher set in the house unused before I purchased, but the house was empty for 18 months.

Are there prices reasonable? Do they charge alot for a so-called free estimate. I am looking to remodel a small kitchen.

I need to remodel my house’s kitchen, including new appliances, cabinets, and flooring. I have no idea how to go about finding a reputable kitchen contractor, and I see Sears does remodels. Anyone have experience with them?
