How Much Does a Kitchen Renovation Cost in New Jersey?
If you’re planning a kitchen renovation, you’re probably asking: How much will it cost—and what am I actually paying for? While the final number depends on the size of your space, design choices, and materials, having a ballpark breakdown can help you set realistic expectations.
At My Soho Kitchen Cabinets, with locations in both Springfield and Red Bank, NJ, we work with homeowners across Union County, Monmouth County, and surrounding areas to design beautiful kitchens with transparent pricing, trusted contractors, and direct-to-supplier value. Here’s what to know when budgeting for your kitchen remodel.
📊 How Much Should I Budget for a Kitchen Renovation?
A common rule of thumb:
🏡 Homeowners typically spend 5%–15% of their home’s value on a kitchen renovation according to the National Kitchen and Bath Association.
So, if your home is valued at $500,000, a kitchen remodel might reasonably range from $25,000 to $75,000 depending on the scope and materials. Mid-range projects tend to sit right in the middle of that window.
💰 Where Does the Money Go? Percentage Breakdown
Here’s a general idea of how your renovation budget might be distributed:
Category | Approximate % of Total Budget |
---|---|
Cabinetry & Hardware | 25%–35% |
Installation / Labor | 15%–25% |
Appliances | 10%–15% |
Countertops | 10%–15% |
Flooring | 7%–10% |
Lighting & Electrical | 5% |
Plumbing | 5% |
Walls, Paint, & Finishing | 3%–5% |
Design, Permits, Contingencies | 5%–10% |
At My Soho Kitchen Cabinets, we offer direct-to-supplier pricing and use our own licensed contractor team, which helps control costs and reduce delays—so more of your budget goes into materials and craftsmanship, not overhead.
🧱 What Affects Your Final Cost?
Scope of Work
Structural changes, new plumbing or gas lines, or changing the layout entirely will add to your total cost and timeline.
Material Choices
From high-end natural stone countertops to budget-friendly engineered surfaces, the materials you select will influence price. Our design team helps you balance beauty and value.
Kitchen Size
Naturally, larger kitchens (or those with open-concept expansions) require more labor and materials.
Product Sourcing
Many renovation delays come from backordered materials. Our direct relationships with cabinet, countertop, and fixture suppliers help keep your project on track—and often more affordable.
