These are averages to help you create a base for your renovation, and it’s not an estimate. A kitchen renovation will vary depending on the size of the project, if it includes custom cabinets, structures alterations and other factors.
These averages reflects the current market for Osceola County, Orange County, Seminole County and Lake County, Florida.
Important to mention: a kitchen renovation does not necessarily will be “expensive”. Most of the kitchen renovations we’ve done on an average costs around $15,000. Everything will depend on the size of the kitchen and the choice of materials you want installed. Custom cabinets usually rises up the costs.
You should have in mind that every service and material are calculated based on the square footage of the area to be renovated, so, before jumping to conclusions that a kitchen renovation will be “too expensive”, measure the area of your kitchen, decide whether you will choose custom or standard cabinets, backsplash mosaic, and lighting, so you can get a better estimate of the costs.
It’s also important to understand that a kitchen renovation will significantly increase the value of your home, and you should consider that as a main investment.
