WHY I MADE THIS
A quick word from Jimmi.
J
Jimmi
Flipping Aussies · 21 years flipping
G'day, I'm Jimmi. I've been flipping houses for 21 years back in Australia, and the same truth holds wherever you are: the kitchen is the room that makes or breaks a flip. Done right, it adds $40K–$60K to the sale price. Done wrong, you've burned through your budget before the countertops are even in.
I kept getting the same questions from people renovating in the States: "Jimmi, the cabinet guy quoted me $22K, is that fair?" "What does a quartz countertop actually cost?" "Do I really need a general contractor for this?" Same questions, same mistakes waiting to happen.
So I wrote it all down for the US market. Real suppliers, real American prices, every trade question. The exact order I run a kitchen today, after 21 years and a couple hundred flips. Gave it to a few people. They saved between $12K and $28K.
This is that system. No fluff. No fake urgency. Just what works.
— Jimmi xxREAL RESULTS
From people who've used it.
★★★★★
"The cabinet pricing comparison alone saved me $8K. Local guy quoted $19K. I followed Jimmi's checklist, got three more quotes using his exact script, ended up paying $11K for the same job from a better outfit. Wish I'd had this for my last kitchen."
Real customer feedback
★★★★★
"I almost didn't buy it because $97 felt like 'just another e-book.' Wish I had sooner. The supplier list and the order of operations saved me from making three expensive mistakes my brother-in-law made on his kitchen last year."
★★★★★
"The 'how to read a quote' chapter is worth ten times the price. I caught an $1,800 'allowance' buried in my contractor's bid that he couldn't explain. Brought it up, he dropped it on the spot. That's a $97 book that paid for itself 18 times over."
★★★★★
"We did our condo kitchen and the HOA section alone saved us a headache. The neighbor letter, the board approval steps, the elevator booking for the cabinet delivery — stuff I never would've thought of until it was a problem. Smooth from start to finish."
★★★★★
"First time managing trades myself and I was terrified. The scripts told me exactly what to say to each one. Got the electrician, plumber and tiler lined up in the right order with no overlap. Came in at $13K on a kitchen the GC wanted $34K for."
★★★★★
"I run a small flip business and I bought this to hand to my project partner. The 14-step order of operations is now how we run every kitchen. Cut our material overspend way down just from knowing where to actually buy and what to skip."
★★★★★
"Tiny galley kitchen, I figured a guide built for flips wouldn't apply. It scaled down perfectly. Used the budget framework and the cabinet comparison, went with RTA from Home Depot, did the demo myself. Looks like a $20K kitchen for about $7K."
★★★★★
"What sold me was the honesty. He flat-out tells you when to spend and when not to bother. Talked me out of a waterfall edge I didn't need and into spending that money on better cabinets instead. Reads like a friend who's done it, not a sales pitch."
★★★★★
"The countertop chapter cleared up the quartz brands for me in about five minutes — what's actually different vs marketing. Picked the right slab, didn't overpay, and the 35-point walk-through checklist caught two defects before I made final payment."

WHERE THE MONEY GOES
Why most kitchens cost $35K.
Here's the exact breakdown of an average general-contractor quote. The actual kitchen is the smallest line item. Everything else is what you can remove.
GC project management$8K–$15K
Contractor margin on materials$3K–$8K
Overpriced trades (no comparison)$2K–$5K
The actual kitchen$8K–$15K
The playbook removes the top three lines.
You buy the materials yourself. You hire trades directly using Jimmi's scripts. You follow the system. You keep $10K–$20K.
IS THIS FOR YOU?
Let's be honest.
Not every kitchen remodel needs this playbook. Here's who it actually helps — and who should skip it.
✓ This is for you if…
- You're planning a kitchen remodel in the next 6 months
- You've had contractor quotes that felt outrageous
- You're willing to manage trades (not do licensed work illegally)
- You want to know where every dollar goes before you spend it
- You're flipping or selling within 3 years
- You want it done right the first time
✗ Skip this if…
- You want someone else to handle every decision
- Budget genuinely isn't a concern
- You're looking for illegal DIY plumbing/electrical/gas shortcuts
- You want a glossy brochure, not a working document
- You expect a finished kitchen without any involvement

WHAT'S ACTUALLY INSIDE
Not a brochure. A working system.
Every chapter covers a real decision you'll have to make — from "should we even do this?" through to "the cabinet installer's coming Friday." Here's the stuff most playbooks skip.
The exact budget framework
Five-bucket allocation (cabinets, countertop, appliances, trades, contingency) with real US prices for 2026. Know what your kitchen should cost before you spend a cent.
Cost ceilingBucket splitContingency rules
The 14-step order of operations
Every stage, in the right order, with nothing hidden inside vague terms. When the cabinets get measured (last). When the backsplash gets templated (after the countertop). When tile goes in. When appliances arrive.
Demo → handoffLead timesSequence rules
Cabinets: RTA vs custom vs IKEA
The real cost comparison nobody shows you. When IKEA wins. When custom is worth the extra. When ready-to-assemble from Home Depot or Lowe's is the smart move. With links, prices, and what to ask for at the showroom.
3 options comparedHinge specsSoft-close
Countertops: quartz, laminate, butcher block
Cambria vs Silestone vs MSI vs Caesarstone — what's actually different and what's just marketing. When laminate beats stone. Waterfall edges (and when they're a waste of money). Real install costs per square foot.
Material guideEdge profilesInstall costs
Trades: hire, manage, pay
The 10 questions to ask every trade before you hire (with the exact scripts). How to read a quote (allowances, change orders, line items — all translated). The payment structure that keeps leverage on your side until the final walk-through.
Contractor scriptsRead a quotePayment schedule
Plain-English glossary
Toe-kick, scribe, integrated, induction vs gas, range hood ducting, soffit, backsplash substrate — every term the cabinet installer, plumber, electrician and tiler will use, decoded so you don't get blindsided.
No jargon wallsFirst-timer friendly
The exact supplier list
Cabinets, countertops, sinks, faucets, backsplashes, appliances — every supplier I've used, with current US prices, lead times, and what to order from Home Depot and Lowe's. Plus where to NEVER buy from (and why).
Verified 2026Budget + upgrade
The things nobody warns you about
Range hood ducting that needs a permit. Why your sink choice locks in your countertop. Standard counter heights (36in) and when to break them. The "free measure" that's actually a sales trap.
Hidden trapsPermit issuesStandard heights
The 35-point walk-through checklist
Cabinets, countertop, plumbing, electrical, appliances, paperwork. Every defect gets caught before the final payment leaves your account. Permits and inspections signed off. Drawer alignment, soft-close test, leak check.
Pre-payment walk-throughPermit sign-off
Troubleshooting for years later
Drawer not closing right? Countertop seam showing? Faucet pressure dropped? The common kitchen problems and exactly how to fix them (or when to call someone — with how much it should cost).

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK
Before you buy.
The stuff I get asked most often. If yours isn't here, email me and I'll answer it.
Do I need to be handy to use this?
Nope. The playbook is built for people who want to manage the project — not necessarily do the licensed work. You hire your cabinet installer, electrician, plumber and tiler directly using my scripts. Where you can save money handling some bits yourself (demo, painting, putting on hardware), I'll show you what's legal vs what needs a licensed trade.
Will this work for a small kitchen, not just big ones?
Yes — the framework scales. Whether you're doing a 130 sq ft galley kitchen for $8K or a 320 sq ft open-plan for $25K, the system is the same: budget brackets, supplier comparisons, trade scripts, sequence rules. The savings are proportional, not fixed. Smaller kitchens save $5K–$10K. Bigger ones save $15K–$30K+.
Does it work for condos and HOA buildings?
Yes. There's a section on condo and HOA-specific stuff — the courtesy letter to neighbors, how to check HOA rules and get board approval before demo, working-hour windows, elevator bookings for material delivery. The rest of the system is identical.
What if I've already got quotes I'm comparing?
Even better. The "How to Read a Quote" chapter alone is worth the $97 — it shows you exactly which line items are inflated, what allowances and change orders actually mean, and the questions to ask each contractor before you sign. People have used the playbook just for the quote-comparison chapter and saved $5K+.
Is this US-specific?
Yes — written for the US market (local building codes and permits, which vary by city and state, electrical to NEC standards, US cabinet and countertop suppliers, Home Depot / Lowe's supply chains). It'd still be useful elsewhere for the management and sequencing stuff, but the supplier lists and code info are all US.
How long until I get it?
Instantly. The moment your payment clears, you get an email with download links to the PDFs and a login link to the interactive app. You can start reading within 60 seconds.
What's the refund policy?
Simple. If the playbook isn't worth $97 to you, email me and I'll refund you. No forms, no arguments, no "tell us why." I'd rather keep the trust than the money.
Can I print the toolkit?
That's the point of it. The toolkit is designed letter-size, print-friendly, with fill-in templates, checkboxes, and signature blocks. Print once at the start, staple by section, keep in a job folder. Laminate the on-site checklists if you want them to survive a kitchen demo.
