Frequently Asked Questions

A small kitchen (under 150 sqft) remodel typically costs $8,000 to $20,000 for a standard renovation, and $20,000 to $40,000 for high-end finishes. Basic updates can be done for $5,000-$8,000.

Yes. Focus on refacing cabinets instead of replacing, keeping the existing layout, choosing stock appliances, and doing some work yourself. A $10,000 budget can cover cabinet refacing, new countertops, paint, and a new sink.

Cabinets typically consume 30-35% of the budget, followed by labor (25-30%), appliances (15-20%), and countertops (10-15%). Choosing semi-custom over custom cabinets can save $5,000-$10,000.
