What affects the cost of a kitchen remodel
Six factors move the number more than anything else. Knowing where your money goes helps you decide what to splurge on and where to save.
Cabinets
The biggest line item. Refacing or repainting starts around $3,000, semi-custom cabinets run $8,000–$15,000, and fully custom inset cabinetry can reach $25,000+.
Countertops
Laminate stays under $1,500. Granite and level-1 quartz land at $2,500–$5,000. Premium quartz, marble, or waterfall edges push well past $6,000.
Labor
Demo, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and sheetrock make up roughly 25–35% of the total. Moving walls or relocating plumbing adds the most labor cost.
Appliances
A standard suite runs $2,500–$5,000. Pro-style ranges, panel-ready fridges, and built-in wine columns can triple that figure.
Plumbing & Electrical
Keeping the sink and range in place keeps cost down. Each relocated fixture typically adds $500–$1,500 in rerouted lines and permits.
Size of the Kitchen
A 10x10 galley costs far less than a 200 sq ft open-concept kitchen. Larger footprints mean more cabinetry, more tile, and more labor hours.
How to save on your kitchen remodel
A great kitchen doesn't have to mean a blown budget. These choices keep quality high while trimming thousands off the total.
- Keep the existing layout — avoid moving plumbing and electrical
- Refinish or reface cabinets instead of replacing them
- Choose level-1 quartz or granite over premium slabs
- Reuse appliances that still work well
- Bundle the project with other home updates for a better labor rate
