Cabinets are the most expensive part of a kitchen remodel and account for roughly 28% of the total cost. For a complete kitchen remodel, mid-range stock cabinetry costs about $10,000 to $20,000, while high-end cabinetry costs about $20,000 or more. Expect to pay around $6,000 on top of that for cabinet installation.
Any upgrade to your kitchen can add value to your home and help you sell it faster, but there are a few specific things you can do to your kitchen to really drive up the value. The following remodeling projects generally add the most value to your kitchen:
New cabinets
Additional storage
Kitchen island
New countertops
Upgraded (and efficient) appliances
High-quality flooring
The average kitchen remodel takes six to 10 weeks, but it can take even longer, depending on the size of the kitchen, the product availability, and subcontractors’ schedules. The initial planning and design phase takes an additional four weeks.
It costs an average of $37,130 to renovate both the kitchen and the bathroom, with bathroom remodels costing around $11,230 of the total. Many remodeling contractors are licensed to perform both projects with the help of subcontractors, so you can often hire one contractor for all the work. A general contractor will subcontract out licensed pros for plumbing, electrical, and mechanical or HVAC.
Gutting a kitchen costs around $500 to $3,000, depending on regulations in your area, the size of your space, and what you need to be demolished or removed. Your city and county may have regulations surrounding proper waste disposal and materials that require extra steps and labor.
There may also be requirements around getting an interior demolition permit in addition to your building permit. Plus, if you want to preserve some of the existing materials, you’ll pay more in labor for more careful removal.
Remodeling a mobile home kitchen could be as little as $3,000 and as much as $25,000, depending on the size of the kitchen, the quality of materials you use, and the extent of the renovation.
Before you remodel a mobile home, it's best to consult a contractor who'll ensure your changes comply with the U.S. Department of Housing Urban Development (HUD) Code.
