Why homeowners overpay

Designer-showroom kitchens often carry a 35–55% markup over what a vetted local cabinet shop charges for the same construction (½″ plywood box, soft-close hardware, painted Shaker door). The cabinet brand on the door doesn't matter — the wood, joinery, and hardware do.

FAQ

Kitchen Remodeling questions, answered

How much should a kitchen remodel cost?
A cosmetic refresh (paint, hardware, counters) runs $8,000–$18,000. A mid-range remodel with new cabinets and appliances is typically $25,000–$55,000. A full layout-change gut runs $55,000–$80,000+.
How long does it take?
Cosmetic: 1–2 weeks. Mid-range: 4–8 weeks. Layout change with structural work: 10–16 weeks.
Are stock cabinets worth it?
For starter homes and rentals, yes — stock cabinets are $80–$150 per linear foot. For your forever home, semi-custom ($150–$300/lf) is the sweet spot of quality and price.
Do I need an architect?
Only if you're moving load-bearing walls, adding square footage, or relocating major plumbing. For most remodels, a designer/contractor team is enough.
