Overview
Kitchen remodel costs range enormously depending on scope — a cosmetic refresh (new counters, paint, hardware) costs far less than a full gut renovation with new cabinets, layout changes, and premium appliances.
Why Illinois prices differ
Labor-heavy markets (major metros, coastal cities) run well above the national average; rural and Midwest markets tend to run below it.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a kitchen remodel add to home value?
Kitchen remodels typically recoup 60-80% of their cost at resale, making them one of the better-ROI renovations.
Can I remodel a kitchen without moving plumbing?
Yes — keeping the existing layout is one of the biggest ways to control cost, since moving sinks or gas lines adds significant labor.
