Remodeling – Kitchen Cabinets And Home Improvement
It is never cheap when remodeling or doing any home improvement, but giving your kitchen a needed facelift can be much simpler and less expensive. When changing or remodeling your kitchen cabinets, everything will be dependent on your finances and your personal needs. For example, if you just want a fresh look and your kitchen furniture and fixtures are in reasonable condition, you can begin your project with the simple refacing of your cupboards, countertops and cabinetry. However, if you have opted for replacing any kitchen furnishings then you have access to a wide variety of fixtures and cabinets at very good prices. Whichever way you go, you can get your kitchen looking fresh and new again, and take pleasure in your new home improvements, ones that increase your home’s value. If you prefer to redesign your kitchen’s look from the beginning instead of simply replacing or refacing your fixtures then you also have access to a big variety of amazing designs that offer exciting additions like modern and sleek cabinets, modern countertops, stylish and modern kitchen islands and much much more.
Having access to a great variety of options in regards to kitchen fixtures and kitchen cabinetry can revamp your kitchen into the best place for relaxation and work. You can choose from light to dark woods, solid woods, glass and even metal. Whatever your choice of kitchen theme or design, you can avoid implementation problems because of the vast options that available to you. If your budget is limited, you can choose refacing, which can get you the fresh look your kitchen needs at a much lower cost, saving you much needed time. Or, if you prefer to choose a newer look and get rid of all the former fixtures, you will still be able to enjoy real value for money on kitchen fixtures, furnishings and cabinets.
When you shop online you can save lots of money when choosing kitchen fixtures and furnishings, and you will also benefit from the wide variety of choices available and the many fantastic low priced items that the Internet offers.

Do I pay Sales Tax if Lowes or Home Depot are remodeling my kitchen and bathroom?
If I am purchasing all the material for the remodel from them (cabinets, tile, sinks etc) and they are installing everything, do I have to pay sales tax on those products? What about the labor, is that taxed? I am confused about "capital improvement".
P.S. I live in New York

If you buy it, you pay sales tax.
If they buy it, they pay the sales tax and add it to the amount you pay them.
The fact that it’s a capital improvement doesn’t change this. (The sales tax is added to your basis.)

See Form ST-124: http://www.tax.state.ny.us/pdf/2006/fillin/st/st124_506_fill_in.pdf
If you paying a single price for the job, quoted with all materials and labor and it qualifies as a capital improvement then it’s not taxable. (If the contractor paid tax on the materials then he may pass that tax on to you though.)
If you buy the materials separately and then contract for the installation you’ll pay tax on the materials but not the labor, if I’m interpreting things properly.
Note that special rules apply for certain types of floor covering but not others. "Soft" coverings such as carpet, linoleum, and vinyl are taxable unless it’s new construction, an addition to the structure, or a complete refurb of the entire building. "Hard" coverings such as tile, slate, hardwood, etc. are not taxable if part of a capital improvement project.
Confusing? Yep, NYS is infamous for that!

If you buy it, you pay tax on it. Labor is not taxed.
By remodeling your house, you add value to it (an improvement of your capital)
