Hi Mia,
Sorry did not see your last message...not used to this visitor messaging yet
If you need to contact me for any work, just go to our website www.floorwood.ca & our contact info is there

If you are thinking about hardwood in the future, upgrade the upstairs only & put the $1,000 towards your hardwood downstairs. It's not only the carpet, underlay is also very important. Make sure better underlay is included.

Also, is there were we could reach you if we want to hire you for some work???

The wall oven & built in microwave usually is put beside the fridge, so I would not worry about that. We have it set up that way & works great. Yes, crown moulding upgrade is pricey. Maybe you can wait after closing & go to the kitchen company directly & get it after but you still need somebody to install it. I would go for the built in appliances & make sure your fridge if not built in, is counter depth at least so it does not stick out!

I personally would not upgrade the carpets, really how bad can they be. We have standard carpets & they are fine since I know eventually we will replace them. I would save the money for carpet upgrade & splurge on hardwood on the main floor after closing!
Hope this helps :-)
