How much does a new or remodeled kitchen cost?
Room size, floor plan, product choices and amount of labor required all affect the costs. If you’re starting from scratch, the project obviously will cost more than if you just replace a few items. However, a remodeled kitchen can cost more than a new one if it involves major structural change or unpleasant surprises such as asbestos. Like a car or clothing, kitchens can cost $5,000, $50,000 or $150,000. You can keep the price down by making affordable product choices—vinyl flooring instead of tile, laminate counters instead of granite—or by doing work yourself.
