How Much Does a Kitchen Renovation Cost?

Are you considering renovating your kitchen but unsure about the costs involved? As a premier home renovation company, Redefined Living understands the allure of a shiny new kitchen with gorgeous granite countertops, a professional dutch oven, and a shiny new ninja air fryer to boot. (I mean…just look at our jawdropping recent renos.) But how much will kitchen luxury cost you? The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all, but you certainly don’t have to break the bank! Let’s get into it!

What to Consider in a Kitchen Renovation

Scope

First off: are you considering a full-blown kitchen renovation or a smaller kitchen remodel? The difference is important. The extent of your redesign will play a significant role in determining your total cost.

Minor updates like painting cabinets or replacing countertops will be more budget-friendly compared to a complete renovation involving layout changes and new appliances such as countertops and custom cabinetry. Don’t underestimate the power of smaller projects in giving your kitchen a major facelift.

Materials

What materials will you be working with? This is one of the most important keys in any renovation project. Out of every element of your redesign, you definitely don’t want to cut costs on your materials. Investing in strong, durable foundations will ensure that you enjoy your kitchen for years to come.

And you’re in luck: Redefined Living’s lead architect Jazmine consults with each of our clients to assess and then source all necessary project materials. We’ll work with you to build a personalized aesthetic for the heart of your home! Minimalist functionality? A pop of pattern and vintage charm? Whatever you want, we’ll help bring it to life!

And: did you know that we source projects with our own cabinets? By scheduling your kitchen renovation project with Redefined Living, we personally ensure to treat your home to high-end, premium materials at a budget-friendly price point. Oh, and while you’re at it, stay tuned for Jazmine’s custom-made interior design moodboards with links to each Redefined-approved piece!

Labor

Of course, no renovation would be possible without some good ol’fashioned elbow grease. But before the reno-crew kicks down your kitchen walls (okay, we won’t kick them down) here’s what you should know:

Labor costs, including contractor fees and installation charges, can quickly stack up during a home makeover. Typical labor costs account for 18% to 25% of the total project budget. But how much of a dent will a kitchen renovation really make in your pocket? Let’s get into the details:

Minor kitchen renovations, such as painting cabinets, updating hardware, and replacing countertops, can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000.

Major kitchen renovations, involving a complete overhaul of the layout, new plumbing or electrical work, high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and premium materials, can easily reach anywhere from $60,000-$100,000+.

The biggest cost in kitchen renovations often comes down to one factor: cabinets! For a larger kitchen, basic cabinetry typically start around $10,000. According to Forbes, more elaborate, handmade cabinets can extend to $30,000 for a large kitchen!

Here at Redefined Living, we pride ourselves on offering luxury at an affordable price. And here’s the bottom line: our typical full kitchen renovation offers an unbeatable industry range from $35,000 to $90,000.
