How much does a kitchen remodel cost?

A kitchen remodel typically costs $150 to $250 per square foot at a midrange finish, so a common 10×10 (100 sq ft) kitchen lands around $15,000 to $25,000. The range is wide because the finish level and whether you change the layout do most of the work — a paint-and-reface refresh is a fraction of a custom, moved-plumbing renovation.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a kitchen remodel cost?

Most kitchen remodels cost about $150 to $250 per square foot, so a typical 10×10 (100 sq ft) kitchen runs roughly $15,000–$25,000 at a midrange finish. A budget refresh can come in under $15,000, while a high-end renovation with custom cabinets and luxury finishes can exceed $50,000. Enter your size, finish level, and ZIP above for a local range.

What does a kitchen remodel include?

It depends on the finish level. A budget refresh is usually paint, cabinet refacing, new hardware, and maybe a countertop. A midrange remodel adds new semi-custom cabinets, countertops, appliances, and flooring. A high-end remodel means custom cabinetry, premium stone or luxury surfaces, high-end appliances, and often a new layout.

Why does moving the layout add so much?

Relocating a sink, range, or refrigerator means moving plumbing, gas, or electrical lines — which brings extra rough-in labor, drywall patching, and inspections. That is why "major layout change" carries a meaningfully higher cost per square foot than keeping everything where it is.

What is the biggest cost in a kitchen remodel?

Cabinets are usually the single largest line item — often 25–35% of the budget — followed by countertops, appliances, and labor. That is why refacing existing cabinets instead of replacing them is one of the biggest ways to cut cost.

Does the estimate include labor?

Yes. These are all-in figures — materials plus professional labor for demo, installation, plumbing, and electrical. Real quotes vary with your local labor rates, the specific products you choose, and any surprises found once demo starts, so treat this as a planning range.
