What Affects the Cost of a Kitchen Remodel
- Scope — a full remodel (layout, cabinetry, countertops, and finishes together) costs more than a targeted update like new countertops or cabinet refacing.
- Cabinetry — stock, semi-custom, or fully custom cabinets, and whether existing boxes are refaced or replaced.
- Countertop material — quartz, granite, and other surfaces vary in material and installation cost.
- Layout changes — moving plumbing or electrical to change the kitchen's footprint adds cost beyond a like-for-like swap.
- Flooring — material and the condition of the subfloor underneath it.
