“Fulfilling these functional needs often requires a full overhaul of the kitchen and its layout.”
Simple changes like that can make a big difference," Lin says.
How Much Does It Cost to Remodel a Kitchen?
The average cost to remodel is about $25,000.
That’s why creating a budget and factoring in every possible cost for a kitchen remodel is so important.
That’s why it’s important to confirm your budget is as comprehensive as possible before you get started.
Do Your Research
Both Lin and Steckel also emphasize the importance of doing your research.
“This will help to minimize back and forth and help you avoid potential headaches.”
Consider Your Home’s Layout

“All of these things are very personal and family-specific, and its not one-size-fits-all.
And again, doing your research beforehand will only benefit you.
This is especially true if you have to get cabinets custom fit or if you want them custom designed.
Even refreshing old cabinets with paint and hardware can be pretty costly, both in time and money.
