A kitchen remodel typically runs $85,000–$250,000 depending on scope — a refresh at the lower end, a full gut with structural changes at the higher end.
A cosmetic refresh often doesn't require a permit. Moving plumbing, electrical, or walls does — we handle the SF DBI submission as part of the project.
A refresh can take 3–5 weeks. A reconfiguration or full gut with permitting typically runs 3–5 months from design through completion.
