Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a kitchen remodel cost?

Kitchen remodeling costs vary significantly based on scope. A basic refresh runs $5,000-$15,000, while a complete renovation ranges from $15,000-$40,000. Luxury remodels can exceed $80,000. The average kitchen remodel costs around $1,200.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

A typical kitchen remodel takes 6-12 weeks. Basic updates (painting, hardware) take 2-3 weeks, while full renovations with layout changes can take 3-4 months including permits and inspections.

Do I need permits for kitchen remodeling?

Permits are required for electrical, plumbing, or structural changes. Cosmetic updates like painting or cabinet refacing typically don't need permits. Check with your local building department for specific requirements.

What's the best return on investment for kitchen updates?

Minor kitchen remodels typically recoup 70-80% of costs. Cabinet refacing, countertop upgrades, and new appliances offer the best ROI. Avoid over-improving for your neighborhood.

Should I stay in my home during a kitchen remodel?

For minor updates, staying home is fine. Major renovations make cooking difficult for weeks. Consider temporary kitchen setup, eating out budget, or temporary housing for extensive projects.
