Kitchen Remodels: Kitchen Remodeling Dollar Amount
Everyone looking to remodel a kitchen has the important question to consider – “How much does a new kitchen cost?”
Guess what? There is an answer!
And your Answer – How much does a new car cost?
Amazingly the investment for a new car is very close to the investment for new kitchen cabinets. As there is a wide range in car selections and car quality, so is the range and selection for new kitchen cabinets. A basic little Geo Metro, Ford Escort, Saturn, and a small car like my first car (Toyota Corolla) all differ greatly in price from a top of the line SUV shall we say Hummer, Jeep, or Bigfoot himself.
To get the right price on the right vehicle usually doing your homework and understanding your investment is in your best interest. This is the case with new cabinets, in almost the exact same manner and price range. Going with used cabinets offers the same type of problems as buying a used car does to the purchaser.
Know what goes into each task when you talk to kitchen designers or remodel contractors. By taking time to understand the kitchen planning you will be able to control the cost of the new kitchen.
You are still reading! You are doing better than 6 out of seven readers! You love knowledge and I know you are on your way to Kitchen Remodeling Success! Keep up the diligence!
Remodeling your own kitchen in this manner will seem scary at first. As you put together your planning information box, all at once things will fall into place. If you like putting together 5,000 piece jig saw puzzles you may not like this task as the jig saw puzzle will only be around 100 pieces. It still will be a challenge to most of us, and understanding the kitchen design will not be easy until we can look at the jigsaw puzzles box cover and see the big picture.
“Let me see the cover,” my sister would say to my brother who were both big into jigsaw puzzles. Although I did not have this skill, they both would fight over the box cover and by looking at the cover they could clearly see where each puzzle piece was to be placed.
Read the cover to your new kitchen carefully. Analyze your existing kitchen. Then – choose the right hardware, material, products, and appliances for your kitchen’s needs.
Plan a kitchen layout that suits your lifestyle. Include the kitchen dollar investment that is right for you – by doing your homework and taking time to understand the kitchen remodeling process.

Very good work. I like the style and the information is always, “priceless”. Thanks 5*
If the ceiling above is insulated, you cannot use non-IC rated cans. Other than that, most light fixtures are allowed. Hope this helps.
I agree, the pale yellow sounds nice. But if the color concerns you, try a pale yellow with a bit more earthy brown tones in it. When you look at your paint samples, you will see the pure yellows that are crisp in color and you will see the more muted yellows. Try out a couple of the more muted yellows.
Also, go ahead and collect samples of what you want to eventually do in your home, like the granite color. This will help to cordinate everything as you go.
Also the paint stores sell small quart and smaller samples of paint that you can test out colors to see if you like them. I love these. You can buy several colors, paint them side, by side and then make a final decision.

Great job! I’ve seen the finished product. Its beautiful! You two are a great pair. Love your new kitchen. Love YOU 2!!
Most electrical contractors charge a minimum of $350-$600 per job. If the electrical breaker box is near the kitchen then the minimum charge may cover the whole job. If wires need to be run a long way to get to the kitchen, then the charge could be much more.
And, it’s nice for my husband to be married to someone who also understands carpentry, having been a carpenter once upon a time myself. He never has to convince me it’s a good idea to buy a new tool. And best of all, I’m a very good carpenter’s helper -you don’t think he cleans up the messes, do you?
Being able to keep my dear husband busy also keeps him off the streets. You’re right, I’m a very happy camper with such a talented partner.

It took 3 months….. we did it ourselves and it cost 27,000$ Canadian….
Unexpected expenses: wiring that was no longer any good, having to buy more tiles, redoing the floor base to make it smooth for the new tiles (because pulling up the old ones ruined the floor underneath) and having to make a new countertop instead of just being able to relaminate the old one (the wood underneath the old laminate was rotting).
Yes… very happy with the outcome! We have just sold the house… paid it 133 500.00$ just over 5 years ago…. just sold it for 279 500.00$… I'd say that definitely covers the cost of the kitchen renovation!
Great job Patt and it looks fabulous. So what’s for dinner?
Nice to be married to such a talented man!

Nicely Done Thanks for sharing
Great video, and lots of nice tips. Thanks
Hello-
I am a kitchen & bath designer but in a different geological area. I would suggest that you do what is called a "comp" (comparesion) of the houses around you. If they have granite tops and stainless appliances, go for it!!! If not, you are going to price yourself out of the neighborhood. You will never get your money back (it is projected that from the "get-go" you are only getting 86% at the time of the sale anyway) But on the flip side, you will sell your house much faster if you do remodel it. I would suggest keeping the price resanable by keeping the fixtures in the same location (e.g.: sink), doing a semi-custom line of cabinets and maybe splurging on granite. After all, you are going to live there for another 5 years!
good job bobboe!!!! this is a fresh video.
