What is the average cost to remodel a kitchen?

The average kitchen remodel costs $25,000 to $50,000 for a mid-range renovation. Budget remodels run $15,000 to $25,000. High-end remodels cost $50,000 to $100,000+. Costs vary by location, kitchen size, and materials. Cabinets and countertops typically consume 40-50% of the budget.

What is the most expensive part of a kitchen remodel?

Cabinets are usually the single largest expense, accounting for 30-40% of total costs. Custom cabinets can cost $800-$1,500 per linear foot. Countertops are second at 10-15%, with materials ranging from $40/sq ft for laminate to $200+/sq ft for exotic stone. Professional-grade appliances add $8,000-$20,000 for a full suite.

Can I save money by doing some work myself?

DIY work can save 20-40% on labor costs, but only tackle projects matching your skill level. Painting, backsplash tiling, and hardware installation are DIY-friendly. Leave electrical, plumbing, gas line work, and cabinet installation to licensed professionals. Poor DIY work often costs more to fix than hiring professionals initially.
