Kitchen Remodel Cost

As what others say, the kitchen is the heart of the house and that’s all because the kitchen is one of the most important places in our home where we prepare meals and gather during celebrations and parties. Sure, not everyone can cook but regardless of our skills when it comes to cooking, most of us still loves to stay in our kitchen and have a munch of our favorite snacks.

Having a nice and appealing kitchen is indeed an important matter for those who like to spend most of their time in their kitchen and having a kitchen remodeling is also a great idea if you wanted to boost your kitchen’s facade.

Compared to other areas in the house, remodeling the kitchen is actually one of the most challenging and complicated where there are a lot of things that you still have to think about. Aside from being complicated, kitchen remodeling can also be too expensive depending on how big will be the remodeling.

Kitchen Remodel Cost

So how much would it cost us to have a kitchen remodeling? As mentioned, it would depend on how big will be the job but for an average kitchen remodeling in Los Angeles, it typically costs between $12,500 and $34,000 with the majority of it costs $22,000.

• Measurement

Aside from the amount of remodeling the kitchen needs, the area of the kitchen that needs to be remodeled would also affect the cost of the total remodeling. If we are remodeling a kitchen in a condo then expect to pay lesser but if we are going to remodel a kitchen from a big house then we will also pay bigger.

Consequently, we should make sure that we are able to mention to the person that would do the remodeling the size of the kitchen so he can have a rough estimate of the kitchen remodel cost.

• Appliances

What we also have to include on our list for the kitchen remodel cost are the appliances that we need to buy. There are some that would still use their old kitchen appliances such as their refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers and cook tops while there are also others who would prefer changing them or add more appliances to the kitchen.

There are a lot more kitchen appliances that we can add on our kitchen as we do the remodeling and here is a list of those usual energy-efficient kitchen appliances and some add-ons and their average cost:

Range – the range or stove is the main component of the kitchen and when having a remodeling of the kitchen, we may opt to change our range and upgrade it to a newer one. Ranges today may range from $400 to $600 depending on its brand and quality.

Refrigerator – having a new refrigerator at our newly remodeled kitchen is also a great idea especially with those modern refrigerators that has a lot of uses already. There are a number a few types and sizes of refrigerator but they usually costs from $800 to $1,000.

Microwave – one of the most valuable appliances in the kitchen is the microwave where you can simply put our previously cooked food inside and we can already eat it warm a few seconds after. A microwave may costs $400 to $600 but we still have to add the electrician fee for the installation since most newly bought microwaves doesn’t have a free installation.

Dishwasher – a dishwasher is also a very helpful appliance in the kitchen where we don’t have to manually wash our dishes every time we have our meals. Just like with the other kitchen appliances, a dishwasher costs $400 to $600 and this would include the installation already.

Sink and faucet – the kitchen’s remodeling won’t be complete without a sick and faucet. Installing sink may costs us around $220 to $380 while the faucet may also costs us $100 to $200, for an average cost of $450 for both the sink and faucet.

Cabinets – we would also want to have a few cabinets in our newly remodeled kitchen where we can store our food. Having a cabinet installation may be a bit expensive especially if the carpenters still have to remove the old cabinets in the kitchen and reinforce the walls. So, when it comes to the carpentry costs, it usually prices at $70 per hour and an additional costs for the materials to be used.

Flooring replacement – are you also thinking of having a floor replacement? Having a floor replacement is one of the biggest jobs when doing a kitchen remodeling. When it comes to the costs of the floor replacement, it usually depends on the size of the kitchen with an average cost of $25 to $35 per square yard.

So if we think that we are going to buy some more appliances for the kitchen, make sure we are able to account each appliance’s cost to the overall kitchen remodel cost since some appliance are a bit expensive.

Other costs:

Aside from the kitchen appliances and some necessary add-ons to complete the kitchen remodeling, we have to include the cost for the electrical wiring and lighting. The costs for these may vary on the amount of work that the electrician should do but they typically charges from $65 to $85 per hour and an additional payment for the items that will be installed.

We should also include in our list the plumbing costs where most plumbers ask $45 to $65 per hour plus the materials for the plumbing job.
