How the math works
200 sqft mid-range at $200/sqft = $40K. +15% contingency = $46K. Luxury tier at $500/sqft = $100K + $15K contingency = $115K.
Get 3 detailed line-item quotes. Reject contractors who won't break down labor vs materials. Contingency eats fast on cabinet orders that come in wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions
ROI on kitchen remodel?
Mid-range minor remodel: 70-85% cost recovery at resale (NAR 2024). Luxury: 50-60%. Cosmetic refresh: 80-100%. Do the refresh before listing; skip the gut remodel if selling soon.
Biggest budget items?
Cabinets 30-40% of total. Counters 15-20%. Labor 20-30%. Appliances 10-15%. Everything else: electrical, plumbing, flooring, fixtures.
Layout changes?
Moving plumbing: $2K-$5K. Moving gas: $500-$1,500. Moving load-bearing wall: $5K-$15K. Avoid unless the gain is worth it. Most cost-effective: reface cabinets in existing layout.
