Cost Factors

Kitchen Square Footage

🔴 high

Larger kitchens require more materials, cabinets, countertops, and flooring, significantly increasing total project cost. A 200+ sq ft kitchen can cost 2-3x more than a 100 sq ft space.

Renovation Scope

🔴 high

Cosmetic updates (paint, hardware) cost $5K-15K, partial remodels (new counters, appliances) run $15K-40K, while full gut renovations (moving plumbing, walls) range $40K-100K+.

Cabinet Quality & Material

🔴 high

Stock cabinets cost $100-300 per linear foot, semi-custom run $150-650, and custom cabinets range $500-1,500 per linear foot. Cabinet selection typically represents 30-40% of total budget.

Countertop Material

🟡 medium

Laminate costs $20-50/sq ft installed, granite $50-100, quartz $60-150, and marble $75-250. Premium materials like quartzite or exotic stone can exceed $300/sq ft.

Geographic Region

🔴 high

Labor and material costs vary dramatically by location. Urban coastal markets (NYC, SF, LA) run 30-50% higher than national average, while rural areas may be 20-30% lower.
