If a homeowner plans to renovate his kitchen by spending good deal of money then it might cost you $25,000, $40,000 or $70,000. The cost of kitchen remodeling depends on the design that you choose for your kitchen. The big amount of kitchen remodeling can scare any normal person. Now we will take a look at things that contribute most in the cost of your kitchen remodeling.
In case you will choose to have a gas having six burners then you can obtain it by spending around $10,000. But in case you will go for a gas with 4 burners then that will not cost you more than $4,000.
For getting laminated flooring, you need to spend around $2 to $3 per square foot and for getting hardwood flooring you need to spend $5 to $8 a square foot. Among hardwood, you can get many brands and tiles that will cost near around $10 per square foot.
Outdated electrical appliances fixed in the kitchen and other places of the house can either be repaired or disposed off to purchase new ones, so that the interiors too look fresh and new along with the remaining parts of the house. A house that has been completely renovated after detailed planning gives a delightful living experience to the residents.
Backsplash tiles can be very expensive. It could easily cost your $20 per square foot. Keep in mind that any tile that is meant to be walked on can also work as back splash. You can also install cheap and square (4 x 4) tile diagonally on a backsplash. However, the savings that you will make in these tiles will be used in the additional labor charge.
Counter space in your kitchen can be 23 linear feet and is one of the things where you need to invest a lot. Marble used to make counter top can be obtained in $80 per square foot whereas granite will cost you even more that is $150 per square foot. As granite is becoming cheaper now so you will be able to make some savings in this. Give special attention to countertop as it is the heart of any kitchen.
After counter top the second important thing to consider is cabinets. For setting up cabinets in your kitchen, you need to do a big investment. Just for getting the handles, you need to spend around $4 to almost $15 (per knob and handle).
Next think about the cost of sink and fixtures. For getting a sink also you need to spend a considerable amount of money. A generic stainless steel can be obtained by spending around $200 and for getting branded sinks, you might need to spend $500 or $600. In order to get a faucet, you need to spend between $80 and $200.
It is not a good practice to save $100 in a fixture by using low quality material as that fixture will soon get damaged and for repairing that you will be calling a plumber. A plumber will cost you $150 for just visiting your house. On the other hand if you will get a quality fixture then that will last for at least 15 years and will keep away the plumber.
