How Much Will It Cost? The cost of a kitchen remodeling project typically varies by region. Expect higher costs in states where labor costs are higher such as the mid-Atlantic states and New England.

A small kitchen remodeling project may take no longer than a single weekend or even one day. However, a a larger kitchen remodeling project may take much longer. Plan for at least a week if you are going to redo your entire kitchen.

At the high end, you can expect a choice of custom tiles in bright colors and lots of new appliances. if you are on a budget, you might wish to explore options such as standard tiles and basic appliances to upgrade your kitchen.

Should I do it Myself? The answer to this question really depends on your own comfort level. If you do this for a living, obviously you'll have no problem doing your own kitchen remodeling project.
