How much does kitchen remodeling cost?
Typical US cost: $27,000–$79,200 USD.
This guide covers a midrange kitchen remodel: new cabinets, countertops, appliances, flooring, and finishes inside the existing kitchen footprint, without moving walls or relocating plumbing and electrical lines. Keeping the same layout is what holds a project in the midrange band; structural changes and luxury finishes take it above.
Price breakdown by scope
| Scope | Typical cost (USD) |
|---|---|
| Kitchen remodeling (midrange) | $27,000–$79,200 per project |
Ranges are drawn from published 2025–2026 market research (Angi/HomeAdvisor and Thumbtack contractor-reported data and national cost references). They are typical ranges, not quotes — a pro prices your actual job after seeing its size, condition and materials.
What drives the price
- Cabinet choice — stock, semi-custom, or custom — usually the largest single line item
- Countertop material: laminate, butcher block, quartz, or natural stone
- Whether the layout stays put or plumbing, gas, and electrical move to new positions
- Appliance package level and whether openings need resizing to fit
- Flooring, backsplash tile, and lighting included in the scope
- Permits, and the age of the home — older kitchens often hide wiring or plumbing updates
Common questions
How much does kitchen remodeling cost?
Typical US cost for kitchen remodeling is $27,000 to $79,200 USD, based on published market research. Your exact price depends on project size, scope and materials.
How can I get an exact kitchen remodeling quote?
Use the HomeTarget cost calculator for a range based on your project size, then request quotes — local pros price the actual job, and requesting quotes is free for homeowners.
How long does a midrange kitchen remodel take?
Once materials are on site, the construction phase commonly runs several weeks, and ordering cabinets and counters adds lead time before work begins. A written schedule from your contractor, with long-lead items ordered before demolition starts, is the main protection against the job stalling halfway through.
Can I use my kitchen during the remodel?
Plan on being without a working kitchen for most of the construction phase — the sink, stove, and counters are out of service for stretches of the job. Many households set up a temporary station in another room with a microwave, a kettle, and a small fridge for the duration.
