New Define Real Estate Podcast - Here is the reality and discussion...“Solid wood” cabinets aren’t always what you think. In this conversation with Jylene Ledesma (STS Construction), we break down why cabinet species matters (maple/cherry/oak vs softer woods), how warping shows up years later, and why replacing cabinets can force you to redo countertops, backsplash, and appliances.We also cover realistic remodel budgeting (including a contingency), quartz vs quartzite maintenance, the permit myth, and how to choose a contractor you actually trust.📌 Connect with Jylene LedesmaInstagram: @sdhomeremodels @jyleneyadiraWebsite: https://www.stsconstruction.com/📌 Connect with Daniel:Phone: (619) 733-9038 | Email: [email protected]: @define.realestateWebsite: www.definerealestate.com#HomeRenovation #KitchenRemodel #DesignBuildTimestamps:0:00 - Intro3:09 - First Steps6:56 - Budget Objections9:30 - The Best Remodeling Investment13:01 - When The Seal/Reseal Quartz??14:33 - The Biggest Remodeling Myth15:59 - Advice On Bad Remodeling Experiences18:55 - Frequently Asked Remodeling Questions20:04 - Your Favorite Part???23:07 - Do This If You're Remodeling Soon25:43 - OutroDaniel Fefferman | Define Real EstateDRE #02026109
