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!
We say remodel for you and your family. Make changes to make your home work best for you and then enjoy!

    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

    • @DMBKspringfield
      @DMBKspringfield Рік тому

      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.

    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...

    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 .

    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 .
