Have Your Kitchen Remodeled in Erie, PA

The most expensive part of a kitchen remodel is the cabinetry. This is true even in smaller remodels. Most homeowners allow 15 to 30 percent of the total remodeling budget to cabinetry (not including islands). Appliances are the second most expensive aspect of a kitchen remodel, followed by countertops.

Unless you or your support team (family, spouse, friends, etc.) have ample experience with and access to power tools and equipment for plumbing and wiring, you should always hire kitchen remodeling contractors instead of going DIY for your kitchen upgrade. Professional contractors have the experience, knowledge, and tools to make the project a success. Kitchen remodels often take a long time to begin with. Tackling it yourself could mean having a kitchen that is out of order for 6 months or more. Not to mention, professionals do projects like this all the time. They know how to make everything perfect in the image of your dream kitchen — from the counters to the finishing hardware.

While it is always suggested that you have a vision in mind before embarking on any home remodeling project, an experienced kitchen remodeling contractor will be there to help you design your dream kitchen. Once you have an official on-site estimate done — which allows the contractor to see the space — the two of you can start picking cabinets, tile, countertops, and everything else. Review past projects of the contractors you are considering working with to make sure their taste matches your vision.

In the U.S., the average cost to remodel a kitchen is slightly over $20,000. Of course, this number is a generalization and doesn't account for the many variables that go into each project. A kitchen remodeling project can cost as little as $5,000 or as much as $50,000...or more! That said, typical kitchen remodeling costs range from $10,000 to  $30,000 depending on the size and scope of the project.
