How Much Should Kitchen Remodeling In The Bay Area Cost?

Simply asking the question, "how much should kitchen remodeling cost in the Bay Area?" will not leave you with an accurate answer in dollar terms. I mean there are a lot of factors to consider when trying to cost a kitchen remodeling project. The best you can do is ask for a range and even then it wouldn't be accurate.

Let me try and break this down for you so you can understand. I do, however, mention some few things kitchen remodeling prices and ranges as I go so read on.

What do you want to be done in the kitchen?

Providing a clear answer to this question should enable you to get a pretty good estimate of how much it would cost to remodel your Bay Area kitchen. You need to decide whether you want everything to be new or you will simply do some replacements.

For example if you want your kitchen gutted and started from scratch i.e. new appliances, tiles, cabinets and everything it could cost you something like $15,000. Of course this also depends on the size of your kitchen.

If you choose to simply reface your kitchen and do some minor replacements such as changing cabinet doors, door knobs etc. then it could be 50% cheaper. For example, refacing about 15 cabinets could cost your something like $7500. This is excluding all the other changes you might have to make.

You can, however, choose to reface with affordable refacing material like plastic laminates. I always recommend refacing with veneer, thermafoils or better but it really depends on how much you have to spend. You can even choose to simply re-paint the cabinets. Ideally you could take the kitchen remodeling cost as low as $500 but if you were to directly ask me how much should a kitchen remodeling cost, I would say somewhere between $5000 and $8000 for a standard Bay Area house.
