Our kitchens are the heart of our homes. It’s where we begin and end our day. It’s no surprise that remodeling this space is popular and offers a great return on investment. Budgeting for a kitchen remodel can be intimidating. There are a lot of pieces, and not everyone is familiar with the remodeling process. I hope to provide a little clarity on what it takes financially to achieve your goals.

I have combined my research on some of my local projects along with national numbers to breakdown pricing examples into 3 tiers. These are meant to give you a place to start, as every project is different. I hope with these details, you will be more confident about what to expect when you dive into this rewarding experience.
