Kitchen Remodeling

Like any home renovation project, there’s a wide variation when it comes to a kitchen remodel cost. There are a many on-line sources stating that the Cost to remodel Your Kitchen is based soley on a percentage of your home value, however in reality it has very little to do with the value of the home. When remodeling a kitchen you should feel comfortable spending as little as $25,000 and up, for a simple renovation, more extensive and complex renovation can easily cross $50,000 or higher. It is based on type of cabinets one picks, countertop material, flooring type, backsplash material, new appliances as well as the extend of the labor required to complete the project.

NOTE: Since the later half of 2020 Connecticut has seen an unprecedented labor shortage as a side effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. In conjunction with this, demand for materials and construction jobs has skyrocketed. As a result, material prices may be higher.  

The most expensive element of any kitchen remodel is most often the cabinets, which on average cost upwards of $15,000. The countertops are the next greatest expense, generally costing $4000 and up based on the materials you pick, edge profile and complexity of the countertop.

In most cases, given standard flooring heights, you will install the floor covering first and  the cabinets will go over new floor. Floor covering, or finish flooring, is the surface that you see and walk on, not the subfloor (under the underlayment) or underlayment (between the subfloor and finished layer).
