How can I reduce kitchen remodel costs?
What are the biggest cost drivers in a kitchen remodel?
How long does a small kitchen remodel take?
Just purchased my first home and we’re looking to do a complete remodel of our kitchen. We’ve met with several contractors and have been consistently been given estimates in the $50-$70k range. I know there’s a lot of variables in play in terms quality of materials, replacing all appliances, etc.
We received a more formal quote (picture included), and I’m looking for some guidance on if these prices seem reasonable or are heavily inflated.
Here’s some additional context:
This estimate doesn't include anything for materials (cabinets/floor/counters)/appliances... all of that we purchase on our own or with them (at the cost they get it for)
Kitchen is small/medium
This does include them raising the kitchen ceiling ~8 inches to be flush with the living room ceiling that is a connected room
This does include them replacing our 100w electrical panel to 200w; instead of giving us a "discount" on the final quoted price, he offered the electrical panel + raising the ceiling as mentioned above as the discount... which seems pretty solid, but not if all the costs in the attached picture are massively inflated
$10,000 for demo seems crazy
We will need to pay for the permits out of pocket as they will be doing plumbing/pipe electrical adjustments
Any insight or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Title . I live in the same floor plan as this house and would love to do this to my kitchen. Any idea how much a remodel like this would cost? Keeping my appliances. Don’t need custom cabinets (Home Depot/Lowes is great)
Note my current house has a wall where the kitchen opens up to the living room in the video. So would need to get that removed. Thank you!
