Have you been planning a kitchen remodel, but just feel way too overwhelmed? Don’t worry — it happens. Especially if you’re trying to figure out a realistic budget that meshes with your overall costs.
Still, to make it easier on yourself, you need to have an understanding of the costs and considerations that can help you plan (and make real) your dream kitchen!
The Average Cost of a Kitchen Remodel
Professional quotes by kitchen remodeling contractors put this process at an average of $12,000 and $35,000. Of course, this goes up and down based on your needs and wants, and the more upscale these projects, the higher costs go, climbing to $50,000 and more!
Still, the exact cost can only be determined based on your kitchen size, materials, and whether you hire a professional kitchen remodeler or do some DIY parts.
Key Costs and Ideas
- Countertop replacement: The cost depends on the material (e.g., granite or quartz) but can range from $2,000 to $4,000.
- Cabinet installation: For new ones, you might have to invest up to $15,000, but budget-friendly options can also go from $1,000 to $3,000.
- Adding a narrow kitchen island: Refresh your space without breaking the bank.
DIY vs. Hiring Professionals
In 2023, almost 43% of kitchen remodeling projects involved DIY work, a sure legacy of COVID-19’s at-home life.
Still, while painting and other small tasks can be more easily done by yourself, hiring a professional means you can receive high-quality results for complex tasks like installing countertops or plumbing changes.
After all, a professionally remodeled kitchen not only increases your aesthetics via perfection in installation, but it’s also great in functionality and increasing home value.
