A small-kitchen refresh runs roughly $10,000–$25,000, with a lot depending on cabinets and counters. You can do a lot for less by keeping the layout, refacing or repainting cabinets, and updating counters, hardware, and lighting. Moving plumbing/gas or gutting to the studs is what spikes the price. Decide your must-haves, then get a few itemized quotes.
