What a kitchen remodel covers, and who it is for
A kitchen remodel replaces more than one surface. It can mean new cabinets, counters, tile, a sink and faucet, or a new layout with the wall to the dining room gone and an island in its place.
Most of our customers live in older houses. Galley kitchens in triple-deckers and two-families, Victorian kitchens with tall windows, and closed-off kitchens in 1950s to 1970s capes, ranches and split-levels. Each brings different work, from stacked plumbing to a wall that may be structural.
If the room itself no longer works, start with kitchen layout changes or adding a kitchen island. If the layout is fine and the finishes are worn, we can change only the parts you want.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Massachusetts?
Published 2026 figures for Massachusetts kitchens, grouped by how much changes. These are a guide, not a quote.

| Best for | Sound cabinets, tired surfaces | Worn cabinets, same layout | A room that doesn't work |
Boston-area costs run about 22% above the national average, driven by older housing, trade wages and permits. Ask whether any price includes appliances, permits, lead-safe work, asbestos testing and electrical upgrades.

Choose what goes in
You pick cabinets, counters, tile, sink and fixtures, and decide whether the layout or an island changes.
Wait on the cabinet order
Allow 8 to 14 weeks for delivery. For a kitchen by the holidays, start in spring or early summer.
We remodel the kitchen
Published figures put a refresh at 3 to 5 weeks of work and a mid-range job at 6 to 9, with inspections on permitted work.
Start cooking
The sink, faucet and fixtures go in last and the kitchen is yours again.

The layers of a kitchen, from the floor up
Every remodel is built in the same order. Read about the layer you're weighing.
Floor
Tile goes down first, under the cabinets. In older houses we find out what is under the existing floor before anything comes up.
Cabinets
New kitchen cabinets set the layout and the schedule. Their 8 to 14 week lead time decides when everything else happens.
Read about kitchen cabinet installation
Countertop
Counters go on once the cabinets are level and fixed. Quartz or granite is usually the first question.
Compare quartz and granite countertops
Backsplash
Tile goes on the wall between counter and upper cabinets, behind the stove and sink where cooking leaves its mark.
Faucet
The sink, faucet and fixtures go in last. On outside walls of older houses we plan for cold Massachusetts winters.
Kitchen remodel questions
Plain answers using published Massachusetts figures. Your free estimate turns a range into a number for your kitchen.
What is a realistic budget for a kitchen remodel?
Published 2026 Massachusetts figures put a refresh at about $25,000 to $45,000, a mid-range remodel at $50,000 to $85,000, and a full gut with a new layout at $90,000 to $175,000 and up. In Cambridge and Somerville, mid-range kitchens are published at $85,000 to $160,000. Leave room for what older walls can hide.
What is the average cost of remodeling a kitchen in Massachusetts?
One published average for Massachusetts is about $33,000, and about $36,000 for Boston, but the spread is wide. National aggregators tend to come in at roughly half of what area installers quote for the same work, so treat averages as a starting point, not a budget.
Is $30,000 enough to remodel a kitchen?
Often enough for a refresh: new counters, a backsplash or a sink and faucet while keeping sound cabinets and the same layout. It is usually short for new cabinets with plumbing and electrical work, and well short of a layout change around Boston.
Is $10,000 enough for a kitchen remodel?
Not for a full remodel here. It can cover a single part, such as a new sink and faucet or a tile backsplash, depending on size and materials. Tell us what you want to change and we will price it for free.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel?
Plumbing and electrical work need permits, each with rough and final inspections, and wall removals involve structural work. If you pull a permit yourself, you give up your protection under the state's home improvement contractor law.
How far ahead should I book a kitchen remodel contractor?
Plan around cabinets, which usually take 8 to 14 weeks to arrive. Published figures put first call to finish at often 3 to 9 months. If you want the kitchen by the holidays, sign in spring or summer.
