The cost of a kitchen renovation can vary greatly depending on several factors, such as the choice of materials, the size of the room, and the appliances. Below, you’ll find a realistic cost estimate that will help you plan the budget for your new kitchen.
A turnkey kitchen renovation involves many elements, which is why its price can vary greatly. Often, the cost is split 60/40 proportion ed between the kitchen designer and the kitchen contractor for design, materials, and labour.
Generally, a turnkey kitchen renovation costs between $19,000 and $60,000+ (labour and cabinets included). This range has been set based on an average observed over time. But the cost of a kitchen has no real upper limit and will vary according to the dimensions, the quality, and the type of materials used. Also, most of the time, the kitchen designer can include the plans for your new kitchen in their fees.
