How to Determine the Cost of Kitchen Remodeling
When researching kitchen design and kitchen remodeling, there are so, so, many questions. And not unlike any other large ticket item purchase or significant investment in your home, the common theme is 1. how much will it cost, and 2. what is my return on investment.
All consumers approach remodeling through their own lens and therefore, it is important to know that there is not a single "right" answer to how much a kitchen remodel should cost or how much of the cost you are likely to recoup at the time of sale. For example, "remodel" to one person might mean painting walls, getting a new countertop and new window treatments, whereas to another, it is not a real remodel project if there aren't walls coming down and saw dust flying. All this to say, it could cost $25,000 or it could cost upwards of $90,000.
In this video, we take a look at the 2023 Cost vs. Value Report that is published by Zonda Media (www.costvsvalue.com). We discuss true kitchen remodeling cost in 2023, in Springfield, IL, using a design-build remodeler like DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen. Our examples follow closely with the different categories in the report and are simple descriptions/scenarios ranging from a kitchen update/refresh to a major kitchen remodel with upscale finishes. We are hoping to provide the quick answer to everyone's question, "How to determine kitchen remodel costs".
What is the most helpful information from the Cost Vs. Value Report?
For the typical homeowner wanting to understand expected costs for different home improvement projects, the report offers this information on a national, regional and local level. It could help you identify local bids that are reasonable and bids that are way too good to be true.
Regarding return on investment (ROI), we think this information is best as a very general guide. It is more helpful in identifying the biggest bang for your buck when comparing one specific area of improvement for your home as compared to another. It may indicate trends, but it is important to note that so many other factors collectively play into the return on investment when selling your home, that identifying how one particular design/remodel decision affected the overall resulting gain at time of sale is a tough extrapolation. Besides, you can't put a dollar amount on your level of enjoyment experienced in your new kitchen!

I think framed cabinet looking great
Thanks for showing the different types of cabinet doors and what they look like.
Is there a way to dismantle the soft close mechanism? My drawers have too much resistance when opening.
Unfortunately there is not an adjustment to them. Maybe reach out to the manufacturer of the glides to see if they have a suggestion. Chances are you are not the only person with the issue.
Thank you
Nothing worse, cabinetry speaking, than an out of kilter inset cabinet door. They have to be perfect, or it's very obvious. With time they can misalign. Terrible, as they're much more expensive than other styles. Wouldn't have them again.
BL, thanks for your feedback. Insets do require quite a bit of extra TLC when installing to help with staying square. To your point, we don’t install many kitchens using inset for those reasons. When we do. It requires lots of plums and level checks, hardwood shims, extra screws and great adjustable shims. 0:04
Excellent, thank you!
I’m not sure what you call that kind of cabinet. I’m guessing I would call it “custom”.
What do you call the built-in cabinets where there is a frame of lets say 2x2" studs and only plywood on the side and not inside the cabinet?
Superior explanation, thank you!
Thank you!
Hi, I am building kitchen frameless cabinets. I wandering if I install full overlay doors will they touch where the 2 cabinets meet on the hinge side? What gap should I leave between the door and the cabinet frame? Thanks for the video.
Are they slippery? I want to install some but have elderly parents and do not want them to go sliding across the floor and fall. Thanks for the info
Most are not slippery. If you want to get technical look for the coefficient of friction" rating. That is how the industry rates flooring. There will usually be a rating for the flooring product dry and then one for the product wet. I think you will find that most LVT and LVP will perform well in most wet conditions.
Percentage wise, how much 😂more expensive is the inset over the framed for the same amount of cabinet space?
I really like the inset. Sorry to hear it’s the most expensive. It’s a great look.
Please more video on cabinets.
😳 Promo sm
I just bought that medicine cabinet. Very pricey but well worth it.
I am building a house with frameless. What size overhangs do you recommend? Beyond the doors and drawers and on the paneled sides?
I agree, your price is competitive. Note that in a full bath remodel we have to use several trade professionals to get it done right, a licensed plumber,licensed electrician, tile installer, countertop installer, a carpenter for cabines, drywall installer, patching and painters, trash dumpster company, plus all material and equipment, accessories cost. All projects have a lot of moving parts. Best investment for your home that potential buyes will appreciate at first glance are bathrooms, kitchen, floors, windows...
but now the inset and the frame can use the same cabinet box ,just change the door panel and hinge
Hi, please may you tell me, could I do inset cupboards without a frame? Thank you!!!! 🙂
A frame is required for an inset style cabinet.
yes ,you can do that without frame,and just need change the hinge
@@DMBKspringfield You can do frameless inset - it is almost every hotel room in a furniture sense.
Thank you, amazing on how many people want a range and none of the bathroom "one day" won't even give a range. Appreciate the info.
Thank you Dreammaker. This was exactly what I needed. I wonder about my once remodeled bath in my 100+ yr old home. Your explanations were right on point.
Glad it was helpful!
I guess this depends on where you live
What model hinges are used in this inset cabinet example?
I believe these are Blum hinges. I'm away from our showroom so I'm not able to verify. Most important feature is that you are able to adjust as many directions as possible. Having that ability will make your installers happy.
This is spot on! Thank you for giving us guidance as we are now DIY (hubby is a mechanical engineer).
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative, thanks!
You're welcome!
Wow all that for $15000. I just wanted a new shower and nothing else was quoted $13000
Great content guys. Redesigning bathrooms is something we deal with everyday and you hit a lot of these points right on the head!
You can do the demo yourself, . . .remove vanity, remove tile floor, remove tub and shower enclosure and save yourself between $500 and $2000. Just be careful of the pipes!
I want walk in shower. But our bathroom is very small and tight to. I mean when you sit in the toilet the dink it right there and then there the bath tub/ shower combo. So i was wonder if a walk in shower would work in there we only one bathroom it a very small house 2 bedrooms. And how long will it take do it our only bathroom to?
Nice
Thanks
Thank you for the informative video.
So glad you found it useful!
Dont skip the biggest thing in the bathroom piping. A lot of homeowners will skip this believing theres no issue with the drainage and delivery of water . If its galvanized pipes please replace dont believe any contractor and dont replace them with galvanized use copper . A lot of bathrooms are not done right either they leave the old plumbing or old electrical wires which could be a fire risk .
Good turnkey work isn’t cheap. I’m sure it comes with a good warranty. 👍🏻
Very realistic pricing. Bathroom renovations can be much more expensive than you might first budget for. Having done 2 bath remodels and now going on my third, it always ends up costing double what I initially think it might cost!
I'm thinking mine will be about $12-$15,000. I cannot stand modern "luxury" stuff, so I will be nothing fancy like these. Tub/shower at $6,000 really isn't bad at all.
Here in Florida when I first meet the customer , showing samples , getting a 3D drawing if a lot of changes are made , or just a shop sketch once agreed upon design I get a deposit cabinets arrive in normally 10 days . I then start the install within days , from start to finish three weeks at the most . I have to compete with the big companies recently they sometimes give the cabinets away and make money on the granite . Anyway a small guy like me averages maybe $ 2 to 3,000 profit after all cost on small kitchens , I do not advertise due to the cost and results , I get my leads by offering Formica / Wilson Art mica tops that not many people offer but there is a good customer base for these products .
I needed this I have to renovate my disabled parent's bathroom. HGTV has given me an unrealistic perspective :(
10,000 to 15,000
Your way over charging people😡
Emier, sorry to hear you feel that way. With over 22 years in business we find that once you explain to people what is all included in our pricing they're are plenty of people in our market who value what we deliver. We like to use the formula Time + Materials + Pain/Frustration = Cost to help clients understand the true cost of a remodel project.
No he is not. They are priced right. If you want cheap then hire Craigslist contractors they will give you what you want to hear.
Mike, you are correct. We like to let potential clients know that when you take on a bath project in an older home (plaster included) it can significantly increase the price of project as well number of surprises.
If your walls are plaster prepare for you wallet to be plastered
