Kitchen remodel cost

How much would it cost for a kitchen remodel?

Costs can vary as much as they do when buying a car. A granite countertop can cost as much as some people pay for their whole kitchen - $3000 to $5000

Before you spend a lot of time on refacing - compare costs to a new kitchen. Sometimes there is not much difference - it depends on the cabinet door styles etc. But do shop around and check first. I got a new client who had spent $3400 on a refacing project only to find out later that a new kitchen would only have cost another $800.

A minimum price for a basic kitchen with laminate countertops will probably run you around $4000 to $5000 installed. The prices generally go up from this price range and the sky is the limit. Some European kitchens can cost $50K to $75K

If you are on a budget, set a target price of $4500 and start shopping around. Don't exclude custom shops, they are not always more expensive than outlets like Home Depot and may be able to offer a few custom features (subject to price)

Don't assume that a higher priced kitchen is better. Take a good look at construction and material finishes, hardware and drawer tracks.

One item many small custom shops can provide is Accuride full extension drawer glides - an average kitchen will cost no more than $150 to $250 for this upgrade. Cabinet shops seldom pay more than $10 to $12 a pair for these, and they make a HUGE difference in the life of drawers and the convience of being able to open drawers all the way ) great for access to the back part of the drawer. This little feature can make a $4500 kitchen feel like a $7000 kitchen.

Make sure any kitchen you buy comes with a warranty that covers door warping and drawer assembly - the most common part of a kitchen to fail first.

Kitchen remodel ideas

Some important questions and ideas before kitchen remodel.

They are now dealing with kitchen ergonomy. Kitchen ergonomy simply means that the lady is working in the kitchen (or who use the kitchen), adjusted to the anthropometric dimensions of the kitchen top and bottom elements of height.

In addition, mention should also be incorporated into the plant height of the place. Some thoughts about this topic:

Set the lower height of the kitchen furniture elements, to the height of the person who is using the kitchen.We can change the height of two area in relation to the countertop height: the height of the hob down to 5-10 cm and the height of the sink up 5-10 cm.

If these funds are taken into account, it will be a comfortable ergonomic kitchen.
