How this calculator is built
Unit costs with sources
This model cites 5 sources for its line-item cost and regional labor inputs.
Regional labor adjustment
The state table applies local labor indexes only to labor-heavy line items.
Published methodology
The methodology page lists the formula, size drivers, labor model, and source links.
How this estimate is calculated
The model prices 9 project line items from published cost inputs. Quantities are driven by your kitchen floor area, scope of work, finish level, and whether appliances are included. The selected scope and finish adjust those inputs, then the regional index changes only each line's labor share; material prices remain national.
The itemized midpoint is shown as a ±25% planning range. It is not a contractor quote: access, design choices, permits, availability, and site conditions can move the final price.

Common questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost?
A same-layout pull-and-replace kitchen at the calculator default lands in the high-$20,000s before local labour variation, with a broad market range from minor refreshes to major custom work.
What drives kitchen remodel cost the most?
Cabinetry usually takes the largest share of a typical kitchen budget, followed by countertops, appliances, and the services work triggered by layout changes.
Should I reface or replace cabinets?
Refacing is modelled as a refresh at well under half the cabinet replacement cost. Replace cabinets when boxes are damaged, the layout changes, or storage needs change materially.
