OT Contractors - Kitchen renovation costs
Posted on 2/9/16 at 10:25 am
Posted on 2/9/16 at 10:25 am
I am about to put a bid in for an apartment and was wondering what the cost would be to renovate the kitchen excluding the labor. How much should I expect to spend on cabinets and appliances? I know the range can vary, but I am hoping to keep the appliance budget under $5,000 and the cabinets under $6,000. The kitchen is 7'3" by 12'3". The appliances are a range, fridge, microwave and dishwasher. Are my budgets low?

with no labor costs?
We remodeled my kitchen ourselves, which was much larger than yours, and materials plus appliances were around $8k
are you buying pre-made cabinets or building yourself?

Cabinets can range roughly $120-$150 per foot. Paint grade would be on the lower end and stain grade would be toward the higher end. Depending on how fancy you get with them they could be over $150 as well.

Sounds like you've over-budgeted which is good

Stainless appliances shouldn't cost more than 2k.
I've seen stainless range, dishwasher, microwave packages for $1100.

As mentioned, your budget sound reasonable.
New lighting fixtures can also upgrade a dated-home.
Do you have "popcorn" ceilings i.e acoustic blown-on sheetrock mud on the ceiling.
If so, smoothing the ceiling would be priority. I saw a vacum-ceiing sander recently on the inter webs that smooths it out.

Kitchens average about 20k so what you budgeted should cover.
