Range Of National Averages
For nearly the last 20 years, Remodeling Magazine has published their annual Cost vs. Value Report, which breaks down average kitchen remodeling costs, as well as for other areas of the home. These averages are further broken down by area of the U.S.
Remodeling Magazine’s national figures range from around $18,856 to $54,509.
Understand that they derive their data from remodeling industry professionals such as Realtors, builders, remodelers, etc. Thus, these renovations are full-on, pro-level kitchen remodels. No do it yourself work; no shortcuts; no skimping; nothing that is not by code.
Average Cost
Average cost is $36,882, or to round it up, $37,000.
Most kitchen remodels in this $19,000 to $36,000 range will involve some kind of do-it-yourself work, obviously more on the lower end of the scale.
