How much does kitchen remodel cost without appliances cost?

Asked June 19, 2026 by a contractor in Kitchen Remodeling (Handyman Mod)

The cost of a kitchen remodel without appliances can vary greatly depending on the extent of the project and the quality of materials used. A basic kitchen remodel, which includes things like painting, new countertops, flooring, and cabinets, can range from $10,000–$30,000. However, if you're looking to do a more extensive renovation that includes moving walls, plumbing, or electrical work, the cost can easily exceed $50,000 or more.

To get a better idea of how much your specific project will cost, it's important to get quotes from local professionals. A licensed contractor can provide you with a detailed estimate based on your specific needs and budget. They can also advise you on any permits that may be required for the work you want to do.

Before committing to any contractors, make sure to do your research and get multiple quotes. This will help you ensure you are getting a fair price for the work you need done. Additionally, be sure to set aside a contingency budget of 10–20% of your total project cost to cover any unexpected expenses that may arise during the renovation process. Getting multiple quotes will help you compare prices and find a contractor who is both reputable and within your budget.
