Cost for kitchen renovation in NW DC

[Anonymous]

counter tops including replumbing a new sink + disposal unit - aprox $7,500

New appliances $4,000 + (sky is the limit depending on your brand choices you could easily spend $30k or more)

New wood floors $2000 for the floor, $1,000 installation

Repainting and new brackets and handles on cabinets (they were new but a horrible color so we had them painted). Aprox $5000

We are in the beginning stages of looking into a similar project. Honestly, if you want a nice kitchen, it looks like cabinets are about 15-20k alone. Mid to high range appliances will run you 10-20k. Countertop- 2-5k. The rest will depend on plumbing, whether you have a load bearing wall, finishes and hardware, etc.

100k sounds about right if it's incorporating high end finishes, cabinets and appliances. If it's more modest, then more like 50-70k.

We renovated our 9x20 kitchen a few years ago and ended up spending 50K. We did not move anything around but it was a gut job that involved replacing just about everything. We used Arlington Kitchen & Bath Factory and had a good experience. We didn't go completely top-of-the-line, but got nicer than average appliances, quartz counters, and custom cabinets.

if you're moving things around do you need a designer or an architect?

What are your $25K countertops made of? Solid gold?

This is a silly question, I know, but is HDTV all bs? It seems that kitchens are renovated on a bunch of shows for closer to 30-50k. I know that DC is an expensive area compared to say, Waco, TX, but so are some of the locations in shows I like to watch (e.g. House Hunters Renovators).

I don't think they factor in labor costs.
