Kitchen Planning Guide

What Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost?

Every kitchen remodel is unique, and the cost depends on your vision, materials, and any structural changes you’re considering. The best way to get a clearer idea of what your project will require is by thinking through the details now—and that’s exactly what this Planning Guide helps you do.

Here’s a general idea of what different levels of kitchen remodeling typically cost (excluding appliances):

• Basic Kitchen Remodel

  – Keeping the same layout with updated finishes

  • $75,000 – $100,000
  • Standard painted cabinets (10-14 total)
  • Level II quartz countertops with standard edge
  • Modest lighting updates
  • Basic cabinet accessories (e.g., roll-out shelves)
  • Luxury vinyl tile flooring

• Mid-Range Kitchen Remodel

  – More customization, additional features

  • $110,000 – $150,000
  • Semi-custom painted cabinets (15-20 total)
  • Level II quartz countertops
  • Added recessed & under-cabinet lighting
  • More cabinet accessories for better storage
  • Upgraded appliances (e.g., cooktop + wall ovens)

Beyond cabinetry and countertops, design choices can impact your budget. Here are a few common upgrades:

• Lead-safe work practices (if required): $0 – $5,000

Appliances: A Separate Cost

While kitchen remodels often include new appliances, they are typically budgeted separately.
