How Much Will My Remodel Cost?
If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, one of the first questions that comes up is: How much is this going to cost? In Maryland, especially in areas like Baltimore and Harford County, kitchen remodels can range widely depending on the scope of work, materials selected, and the specific needs of your home.
At Kitchens Rx, we believe remodeling should be both transparent and personal. Your budget should reflect your lifestyle, your priorities, and the way you use your kitchen every day. We work with you to define what matters most, and guide you through every choice that affects cost and value.
Kitchen Remodel Cost Tiers
Minor Kitchen Updates | $10,000–$20,000
This tier covers smaller-scale projects and partial remodels, perfect for homeowners looking to refresh their space without a full renovation. This range often includes:
- Material-only orders for DIY
- Hardware swaps
- Light fixture updates
- Utilizing existing pieces
These projects typically stay within the existing layout and don’t involve plumbing or electrical rework, keeping costs focused on materials rather than structural changes.
Mid-Range Remodels | $25,000–$50,000
This tier suits homeowners who want a more substantial update with enhanced aesthetics and functionality. Typical projects in this range include:
- Semi-custom or custom cabinetry
- Built-in storage solutions
- Quartz or granite countertops
- New flooring and lighting
- Small layout adjustments
These projects also include professional installation of cabinets and finishes, offering a turnkey experience while improving daily kitchen use and appearance.
High-End, Custom Remodels | $60,000+
At this investment level, your kitchen remodel is a full transformation tailored completely to your lifestyle and home. Features often include:
- Fully custom cabinetry built to fit your space
- Luxury countertop materials (quartzite, porcelain slab, or exotic granite)
- Wide array of integrated storage solutions
- Structural changes, including wall removal or layout reconfiguration
- Designer lighting, high-end fixtures, and tailored finishes
Projects at this tier involve detailed planning and coordination among multiple trades, resulting in a kitchen that is both beautiful and perfectly suited to your daily needs.
What Affects Kitchen Remodeling Costs?
Many factors influence your final investment. Some of the biggest drivers include:
Cabinet Construction
Custom plywood cabinets with soft-close drawers and dovetail joints cost more than stock options, but offer superior durability and fit.
Countertop Selection
Prices vary between laminate, solid surface, quartz, granite, and ultra-premium options like quartzite or porcelain slab.
Layout & Structural Changes
Moving plumbing or electrical, removing walls, or expanding the kitchen footprint will increase labor and permitting costs.
Finish & Fixture Choices
Flooring, backsplash tile, hardware, lighting, and plumbing fixtures all come in a wide range of quality and price points.
