Where Your Budget Actually Goes in a Kitchen Remodel

Kitchens are the most complex room in a house to remodel because nearly every trade is involved: demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, tile, painting and appliance installation, all on one schedule.

Cabinetry and countertops usually represent the largest single share of a kitchen budget, followed by labour. Electrical and plumbing changes are where budgets move unexpectedly, particularly in older Long Island homes where existing systems need bringing up to current code.

We price the work against the real condition of the space after a walkthrough, so the number you receive accounts for what is behind the walls rather than assuming the best case and revising later.
