Planning Your Remodel

While expert remodelers can provide a more accurate pricing and overall breakdown of the kitchen renovation process, there are general resources available to begin planning today. In addition to the itemized list provided below, we recommend looking at the Cost vs Value Report for Home Remodeling.

Long Term vs. Short Term

The first consideration for remodeling your kitchen is “where do you see yourself in five years”? If you’re planning on staying in your home for half a decade or more, it’s advised that you look into a more comprehensive remodel to ensure that you and your family’s needs are met over the passing years.

Kitchen Remodeling Cost

Due to the endless options for customization (i.e., cabinets, flooring, countertops, appliances, etc.), kitchen remodels are often the costliest home renovation. Pinpointing the price can be complicated as a result of considerations, such as materials, labor, and scope of the project. Because prices can fluctuate for each addition, we recommend that you begin planning by setting and staying within a firm budget.

    Kitchen Items

    After setting your budget, you can enter the planning phase and see how individual renovations affect the overall price of a kitchen remodeling project. The items below are the most common additions to a kitchen renovation.

    Here are 5 key considerations to keep in view as you plan your budget:

    • What core features are you looking to add to your kitchen?
    • What is missing in your current kitchen’s functionalities?
    • What do you want in your kitchen and what do you need?
    • What is the average cost of the kitchen layouts in your neighborhood?
    • How long will you live in your home?

    Kitchen Cabinetry: Cabinets are the first feature that guests notice when stepping into your kitchen, so it’s crucial to get this one right. There are a variety of different cabinet types and materials to fit within your remodeling budget. Currently, the cost of most mid-level kitchen cabinets range between $20k to $50k.

    Kitchen Flooring: Selecting the right flooring with the right finish is essential to every kitchen remodel. Fortunately, luxurious-looking, durable options are available at a reasonable price. For instance, a common flooring, red oak, can cost around $11 to $17 per square foot to install, depending on board size and finish.

    Kitchen Countertops: Countertop pricing is a little difficult to narrow down until you know what material you are looking for. Depending on the level (availability), cost can greatly shift in either direction. Depending on the level countertops, such as manufactured granite, price can range from $60 to $120 per square foot.

    Kitchen Tile Backsplash Materials: Most owners opt to pair their custom countertop with a custom tile backsplash. Pricing on this addition can be surprisingly flexible, with the average cost of a tile backsplash ranging from $400 to $750. This is the perfect place to let your creativity shine, as options include ceramic, metal, marble, and much more.

    Kitchen Appliances: These items are the core features of the form and functionality of your kitchen. Choosing the right appliances to line your kitchen directly impacts the value added from your remodel. If you are making a large range of updates to your kitchen, your appliances should match your room’s revamped style.

    Kitchen Wall Removal: Most planners vastly underestimate the value of an open floor plan in terms of functionality and resale price down the road. While the possibilities are endless, it’s recommended that you consult with a professional to ensure that your new design works with your current utility systems, plumbing, electrical, lines, etc.

    Kitchen Utilities: During a kitchen remodel, your design changes should be built around current utilities, such as water, gas, and electrical, or incorporate updating the elements within your plan. This is crucial to ensuring a smooth, successful build that improves upon the design rather than disrupting the kitchen’s functionality.
