Kitchen Remodeling

In a kitchen remodel, there are two different types of costs: labor and materials. Labor will be a significant part of your budget because of the amount of specialty tradespeople involved in every kitchen remodel. When working with a general contractor like Tom Curren Companies, we’ll leverage our relationships with our trade partners to get you great labor rates on your project.

When it comes to materials, the most expensive part of any project is typically the cabinets. Even a minor kitchen renovation can cost up to $20,000 in cabinets alone. This is because cabinets are typically made-to-order, driving the price up. Although this is a significant sum, keep in mind that cabinetry plays an essential part in your kitchen’s aesthetics and storage capacity. Instead of fully replacing your cabinets, painting cabinets that are still in good shape is a great way to save a chunk of money when remodeling your kitchen.

While it is not the most expensive component of your kitchen remodel, picking a countertop is another design decision that will undoubtedly swing your budget. There are a lot of options to choose from at all price points, so you should feel confident that you’ll find something you love that matches your budget.

What’s the next step in pursuing a kitchen remodeling project?

With supply chain issues continuing, lead times for standard products are regularly delayed, and price increases are occurring almost daily. If you’re considering remodeling your kitchen it’s smart to begin the process now, before average cost to renovate kitchen continues to rise, and products go out of stock. At our office in Newton, we have a large workshop designed to store all remodeling materials – so as soon as you decide what you want and finalize your designs with our team, we will order it and store it all at our shop until it’s time for your remodel to start. This helps ensure you’re getting the lowest prices and quickest lead times on all of your materials.
