Find out exactly how much your bath remodel will cost.

When searching online, you'll often come across misleading "average" renovation costs. For example, a $6,000 full kitchen remodel in NY is simply not realistic.
That’s why it’s so important to get accurate, local knowledge from experts who understand your specific needs. An informed client is a smart client.
We believe in being upfront about pricing so that you can have a clear understanding of the costs involved and be better prepared. At Dream Home Creators, transparency in pricing is one of our core values.
In discussing renovation costs, I’ll break it down from multiple angles—considering the size of the kitchen, potential hidden expenses, and the overall value you'll gain from the process.
When it comes to value, remodeling your kitchen will create an environment that you can enjoy daily for years to come. It can also help you sell your home easier when the right time comes.
It’s also the renovation that has the highest joy score reported by the National Association of Realtors. A solid ten. 95% of the survey respondends said they have an increased sense of enjoyment when they are at home.
When planning a kitchen renovation, it's common to allocate 7-15% of your home's value for the project. For a home valued at $300,000, this means budgeting between $21,000 and $45,000, ensuring you enhance your kitchen without compromising the resale value.
Besides the look you- want and your favorite appliances, there are many things that factor into a kitchen remodel involves.
> Choosing who to work with
> See a budget (and sticking to it)
> Designers and design fees
> Materials and functionality
> Permits and paperwork
> Should you DIY or not?
> How much do things really cost
Because there are so many variables involved in a kitchen remodel, I highly advise getting an exact quote for your unique project.
Unexpected Issues In Your Walls
A kitchen remodel may begin with updates like new paint or appliances, but often reveals hidden problems like water damage, mold, or structural issues. It’s essential your contractor inspects and addresses these, rather than suggesting shortcuts. If they do, it’s time to find a new contractor.
The Real Cost Of Everything
We all love a bargain, but if a kitchen remodel estimate seems too low, it probably is. Higher prices often mean better quality because we pay our team well, keep up with trends, and use top-notch tools. This investment ensures you get the best service and results.
Permits And Paperwork
A reputable contractor will handle permits and include their cost in your quote. If they don’t, you'll need to obtain permits yourself and may face extra costs and inspections. Without proper permits, your work could be rejected, so securing them is essential.
Protecting Your Home And Keeping It Clean
Even though you're remodeling just the kitchen, other areas of your home will be impacted. Expect moving items, dust, and disruption. Ensure your contractor protects unaffected areas with sheets and tape, minimizes dust, and cleans up regularly. After the remodel, professional cleaners should leave your kitchen spotless and ready to use.
Things You'll Want But Didn't Budget For
Once your kitchen is done and clean, you might find yourself wanting to upgrade your old pots, mismatched dishes, and worn-out cutting boards. To avoid an unexpected shopping spree, set aside some budget for these finishing touches. It’s easier and more comfortable to spend from funds you’ve already planned for.
Choosing the right contractor can be challenging. While a low price may seem attractive, it’s essential to ask why it’s so low. In many cases, low bids can result in poor workmanship or the need to hire another contractor to fix mistakes, leaving you with a project that doesn’t meet your expectations.

There are two primary ways to save money on your kitchen remodel:
What initially seems like a cost-saving decision often results in paying twice to fix the issues. There's a reason reputable contractors charge what they do—licenses, insurance, fair wages for employees and subcontractors, marketing, and more are all part of the equation. So when we discuss pricing, know that I take full responsibility for delivering quality work.
According to the National Kitchen and Bath Association‘s 2023 design trends study, the average mean for a medium sized kitchen is around $40,000. It’s not uncommon for a large kitchen with a full workout to pass the $100K mark.
It’s also in line with what we’re seeing throughout NY & CT, and the surrounding areas. See our kitchen remodel service page for other insights.
