SCENARIO 5- UPGRADED KITCHEN REMODEL (+/- 200 SF)

Overview

This scenario assumes that the layout of your kitchen will be changed dramatically, including the potential for a wall to be removed (or partially removed) to open up the kitchen to an adjacent space. Appliances and/or plumbing may be relocated, and an island or a peninsula can be added with an overhang to allow for extra seating. An existing soffit can be removed to install wall cabinets to the ceiling, and a new lighting plan can include recessed lights, task lighting, and/or pendant lights over your island/peninsula. New millwork will be installed, and everything will be painted.

An upgraded kitchen remodeling project typically takes between 22 to 28 working days to complete.

Keep in mind that the costs listed below are just averages based on projects we’ve completed in the past. Before we sign a contract, we will visit your home for an in-home remodeling assessment, which will be followed by a detailed proposal and cost estimate tailored specifically to your unique project.

  • • Our team drafts a detailed Material and Quantity List in an organized spreadsheet that lists all pertinent information for selected materials, fixtures, and finishes, including respective quantities and active hyperlinks to suppliers.
  • Our designers create 1-3 possible 2-D layouts for the kitchen.
  • From the layouts, the designers develop 3-D design renderings that show the client’s chosen materials applied in the selected layout.
  • Our designers make revisions based on customer comments.
  • Our team creates a design document package that can be presented to subcontractors and building officials, indicating that the project is fully ready to begin construction.
  • Plans will include: Cover Sheet, Demolition Plan, Proposed Plan, (2-4) Elevations, Detail Pages, Perspective Renderings, and an Electric/Plumbing Plan as needed.

Material cost: $18,700 to $36,500

As previously mentioned, the cost of finish materials will vary greatly depending on the quality, finish, and manufacturer.

There are many fixtures and materials to be considered in a standard kitchen remodel. This project will include:

  • Cabinetry
  • Countertops
  • Flooring
  • Backsplash
  • Plumbing Fixtures (Sink, Faucets, Garbage Disposal, etc.)
  • Electric (Lighting, Switches, Outlets)
  • Hardware and Accessories (Cabinet Hardware, Storage Solutions, etc.)
  • Appliances*
  • Miscellaneous Items (Paint, Trims, Thresholds, Grout, etc.)
  • Other Items (Radiators, Water Filters, etc.)

*The total appliance cost can vary depending upon the number of appliances, but can also vary depending on the brand, finish, performance, etc. A basic appliance package will start at about $5,500, but cost can increase significantly if the number of appliances is greater or if you choose to upgrade to a high-end brand or product. To simplify how kitchen remodeling cost is calculated, we have left out the cost of appliances for now.

Based on a standard kitchen size, we estimate that finish materials will cost anywhere from:

(Mid-Range) (Mid-High) (High End – Luxury fixtures)
$18,700 $27,500 $36,500

Labor cost: $21,800 to $27,400

Labor costs include manpower, installation, debris removal, construction materials, and overhead.

Permits and Inspections Cost: +/- $700 to $950

A typical kitchen remodel requires permits for plumbing, building, and electric. Your city/township may also require a third-party electric underwriter for electrical work.

Permit cost will vary depending on your township fees, schedule, and the overall cost of the project.

Unforeseen Issues: +/- $500 to $1,500+

It doesn’t happen often, but when something unexpected does come up, it is usually a hidden problem in the floor or walls. This issues can include:

  • Code violations that must be resolved
  • Rotten framing, subfloor, or joists
  • Plumbing Issues
  • Electrical Issues
