The overall cost of a kitchen remodel depends on the size of the kitchen, chosen materials, and the cost of labor. For example, replacing the cabinets and upgrading appliances will cost significantly more than refurbishing the existing cabinets and adding a new coat of paint. Use the “one-third rule” when planning for the cost of your kitchen remodel; that is, divide your budget into thirds as so:
Cabinet replacement or refinishing
Updating additional features such as countertops, floors, backsplash, sinks and faucets, and appliances
Installation and labor costs
