What’s a REALISTIC Budget for a Kitchen Remodel?
Sticker shock is a real thing! If you’ve started looking into kitchen remodels, you’ve likely come across price tags that range from $30,000 to over $60,000. For many homeowners in the Merrimack Valley and Southern NH, that just doesn’t feel feasible.
So, where does all that money go? In a typical "gut" remodel, almost 40% of your budget goes straight to the cabinet boxes and the labor involved in tearing out the old ones.
The "Smart" Alternative: Cabinet Refacing. At Ideal Home Improvement, we can help you achieve that "magazine-cover look" without the hefty custom-build price tag.
• Full Remodel: $30,000 – $60,000+ (Weeks of chaos)
• Cabinet Refacing: Usually 30–50% less (Days, not weeks)
By keeping your sturdy existing cabinet frames and just swapping out the doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, you can redirect those savings towards high-end quartz countertops, a stylish new backsplash, or simply keep that cash in your pocket!
