Kitchen remodeling pricing

With the popularity of the DIY TV shows, and the home improvement movement, it is easy to be misled about the actual costs involved in kitchen remodeling. Complexities are often skimmed over in half hour shows and how-to books.

Even the casual observer easily recognizes quality craftsmanship from a thrown together project, within the first few months of completion.

In the following pages, I have separated kitchen remodeling into three categories.

1. Minor Kitchen remodeling projects
2. Mid-range Kitchen remodeling Projects
3. High-end Kitchen remodeling projects

After reviewing these pages, you can narrow down what category best describes your proposed project, and the range of investment needed to make it happen.

Our goal is to help find the overlap between your wants, needs, and budget, so we can take your kitchen remodeling project from a cool idea to the kitchen you’ve been imagining.
