Ideas, costs, tips and plans - the information you need for a successful Kitchen Remodeling project

March 2015

Homeowners have many important questions about their Kitchen Remodeling Project. How much will it cost? How long will it take? What problem areas do I need to watch out for? Can I recover my Kitchen Remodeling investment when I sell? Can I do some of the work myself? What can I do to make sure that the work is done right?

Costs, materials and best practices for the example Kitchen Remodeling project will help you answer these questions. Use this information to develop a budget, bid requirements, hiring contracts and a project plan.

Kitchen Remodeling - Project Overview

The approximate costs and value of a typical Kitchen Remodeling project are summarized below. Use higher estimates for larger metropolitan areas and the lower estimates where home prices are below the national average. Adjust costs for substitutions or refinements in the last section. For size differences of up to 25%, scale total costs in direct proportion to the size of your project. Use the adjusted costs as a basis for setting a material budget and for comparing contractor bids (if you choose to have a professional perform the work).
