Understanding Kitchen Remodeling Costs
When renovating your kitchen, it’s natural to be concerned about costs. However, understanding the value of your investment can go a long way before diving into the numbers. By making informed decisions, you can enhance your home and create a space perfectly tailored to your lifestyle.
This comprehensive kitchen remodeling cost guide outlines the average expenses for various kitchen renovations, accounting for differences in home sizes and project complexities.
Average Cost to Remodel a Kitchen
You will constantly see false “typical” kitchen remodeling costs on the internet. In Detroit, Michigan, you won’t find a whole kitchen renovation for $11,000.
It’s essential to get local information from experts who can relate to your requirements. A knowledgeable customer is a wise customer.
At LHS Remodeling & Design, we firmly support being transparent about prices so that clients can better plan and have a complete understanding of the situation. Being open and honest about prices is one of our core values.
True Value of a Kitchen Remodel
In terms of value, updating your kitchen will produce a space you can use every day for many years to come. When the moment is right, it might also make it easier for you to sell your house.
When selling a property, a midrange kitchen renovation yields a 77.0% return on investment.
According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2023 Cost vs. Value study for Detroit MI. When you consider how it affects your daily life, what initially appears to be an expense multiplies tenfold.
| Project Type | Job Cost ($) | Resale Value | Cost Recouped |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minor Kitchen Remodel | Midrange | $27,341 | $21,063 | 77.0% |
| Major Kitchen Remodel | Midrange | $84,680 | $31,761 | 37.5% |
| Major Kitchen Remodel | Upscale | $164,200 | $48,153 | 29.3% |

Let’s break it down: A $27K kitchen remodel, with an expected $21K recouped on resale, means a true investment of just $6K. Over 10 years, that breaks down to only $50 per month—an affordable way to enjoy a beautifully upgraded kitchen that adds real value to your home and daily life.

Finding the right contractor can be challenging. Low pricing can sometimes give the impression they’re able to handle your project, but it’s essential to ask questions to understand why the kitchen remodeling cost is low. In our experience, a low quote often means you might later need to hire someone else to correct issues or may be left with a kitchen that doesn’t meet your expectations.
