How much does a kitchen remodel increase home value?
A kitchen remodel can increase home value significantly, with a return on investment (ROI) ranging from 50% to 80%. A well-executed kitchen remodel that enhances functionality, aesthetics, and energy efficiency attracts more buyers and commands a higher selling price. Smaller remodels can have a higher ROI, since less cost is invested than what would go into major or complete remodels while still offering valuable enhancements.
How can I reduce kitchen remodel costs?
How much should I budget for a small kitchen remodel?
You should budget between $10,000 and $20,000 for a small kitchen renovation. If you already know you want to dress your kitchen to the nines and invest in high-efficiency smart home appliances, high-grade materials, and lighting, you may want to increase your budget to $25,000 or more to anticipate the higher costs.
Just purchased my first home and weโre looking to do a complete remodel of our kitchen. Weโve met with several contractors and have been consistently been given estimates in the $50-$70k range. I know thereโs a lot of variables in play in terms quality of materials, replacing all appliances, etc.
We received a more formal quote (picture included), and Iโm looking for some guidance on if these prices seem reasonable or are heavily inflated.
Hereโs 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.
