Kitchen Remodel Cost Guide: What Should You Expect to Pay in Lexington?
October 28, 20267 min readBy MKB Remodeling
A kitchen is the biggest remodeling investment most Lexington homeowners make. Here is how we explain cost ranges and what drives them.
Typical Lexington price ranges
- Minor kitchen updates (refaced or painted cabinets, new countertops, backsplash, fixtures): roughly $15,000 to $25,000.
- Major renovations with new custom cabinetry and layout changes: often $40,000 to $80,000 or more.
Every kitchen is different. These ranges are a planning starting point, not a quote.
Where the money goes
- Cabinetry is usually the largest single cost.
- Countertops such as quartz or granite.
- Labor: demolition, carpentry, plumbing, electrical and drywall.
- Appliances, lighting, flooring and backsplash.
- Permits and inspections when plumbing, electrical or walls change.
What drives cost up or down
- Keeping the sink, range and refrigerator in place saves the most.
- Removing walls or moving gas and plumbing lines adds cost.
- Stock vs. semi-custom vs. custom cabinets.
- Older Lexington homes may need electrical upgrades to support modern appliances.
