Remodeling a kitchen is one of the best things you can do to increase the value of your home. Not only will it make your home more valuable, but it will also make it more enjoyable to live in. There are several factors that can impact the cost of a kitchen remodel, but if done correctly, it is an investment that will pay off for years to come. In this blog, we’ll review the following factors that impact the total cost of your kitchen remodel.

• ·The size of your kitchen
• ·If plumbing and/or electrical work is required
• ·Choice of appliances
• ·Choice of material and finishes

The first factor to consider when remodeling your kitchen is the size of the space. If you have a large kitchen, you may want to consider adding features like an island or a breakfast bar. However, if your kitchen is on the smaller side, you may want to go with an “L” shape or straight counter layout.

Another factor that will affect costs is whether or not you need new plumbing or electrical work done. If your current layout doesn’t work well for how you use your Kitchen than re-routing some pipes and adding new outlets can really improve both the function and form of your kitchen.

Next is your choice of appliances. Generally, you get what you pay for when it comes to both the aesthetics and the quality/longevity of your appliances. What’s more, new trends in appliances such as microwave drawers or built-in ovens can cost more than their more conventional counterparts.

Lastly, the materials and finishes chosen greatly impacts not just aesthetics, but also price. High-end materials such as stone countertops, custom cabinetry, premium lighting, premium plumbing fixtures, etc. obviously come with a heftier price tag. However more affordable alternatives can provide similar results at lower costs.

When it comes to the cost of a kitchen remodel, the typical range is between $75 and $250 per square foot. On average, the total price tag for a kitchen remodel is between $13,388 and $40,000, with a national cost average of $25,656 according to bobvila.com.

All in all, a kitchen remodel, no matter big or small, should be approached as sound investment with long term benefits in mind!
