What Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost? We have been designing kitchens for a long time and I have some ballpark figures for what the things cost.

Countertops There’s a range; for granite, from around $2500-$4800. Custom laminate countertop are $1200 to start; in a granite look $2000.  Corian is about $2000. The actual cost will depend on the size of your kitchen, of course.

Sinks An undermount stainless sink starts at $250 A granite sink could be $800 or more Faucets A decent new faucet starts at $175

Appliances  There’s a wide range but you don’t want bottom of the line. Refrigerator $2000 Dishwasher $900 Electric stove $1500

Lighting Center light fixture, wide range is available, budget $500. Add undercabinet lighting $800.

Backsplash tile backsplash $850

Knobs and Pulls New cabinet knobs/pulls are around $350 Kitchen remodels of 10% of the value of your house are in line with industry guidelines.

A new kitchen won’t necessarily add $30K to your house value but will make it likely to sell faster and at a higher price.
