The kitchen, one material course at a time
A Lincoln kitchen is several decisions. Each course has its own page.
Layout and island
Opening the kitchen to the dining room can be structural work in an older house. We plan layout changes and islands as part of a full remodel.
Kitchen layout changes
Cabinets
New cabinets usually take 8 to 14 weeks to arrive, so the order sets the calendar for the whole job.
Kitchen cabinet installation
Countertops
Quartz or granite is usually the first question. We replace counters to suit the cabinets you keep or the ones you choose.
Kitchen remodeling
Backsplash and floor
Tile behind the stove and underfoot. In an older house it is worth knowing what is under the existing floor before anything comes up.
Kitchen remodeling
Sink and faucet
A new sink, faucet and fixtures go in last. Sinks on outside walls of older houses face cold winters, and we plan for that.

What Lincoln's older houses mean for a kitchen remodel
Lincoln housing is mostly pre-1978. Federal and Massachusetts lead rules apply to paid work in those houses once a job disturbs more than 6 sq ft of painted surface in a room. Remodeling, plumbing and demolition all count. A free estimate is where we talk through your house's age and what the price should allow for.
Cost expectations
Published Massachusetts figures, not a quote: a refresh runs about $25,000 to $45,000 and often 3 to 5 weeks of work. Mid-range runs about $50,000 to $85,000, often 6 to 9 weeks. A full gut with a new layout runs about $90,000 to $175,000 and up. Older houses can hide problems behind walls, so leave room in the budget.
Ask what any price includes: appliances, permits, lead-safe work, electrical upgrades. Check with the town building department about permits, and about gas lines before you add one. For wall removal, read about kitchen layout changes or a kitchen island.
Samples, measure, install
Start in spring or early summer if you want the kitchen done by the holidays.

Questions from homeowners in Lincoln
How much does a kitchen remodeling cost in Lincoln, MA?
Published Massachusetts ranges are about $25,000 to $45,000 for a refresh, $50,000 to $85,000 mid-range, and $90,000 to $175,000 and up for a full gut with a new layout. These are guides, not quotes. Your free estimate gives a number for your kitchen.
Does kitchen remodeling in a pre-1978 Lincoln home need a lead-safe contractor?
Lead rules apply to paid work in housing built before 1978 when a job disturbs more than 6 sq ft of painted surface in a room. Most Lincoln houses fall in that group. Ask any contractor how lead-safe work is handled and priced.
Is $30,000 enough for a kitchen remodel?
It sits inside the published refresh range of about $25,000 to $45,000, so it can cover a refresh. It is below the mid-range and full-gut ranges. Ask what the price includes, such as appliances, permits and electrical work.
What is the average cost to redo an entire kitchen?
For a full gut with a new layout, published ranges are about $90,000 to $175,000 and up. Older houses can hide problems behind walls, so leave room in the budget.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
A refresh often takes 3 to 5 weeks on site and a mid-range job 6 to 9 weeks. Cabinets usually take 8 to 14 weeks to arrive, so plan around them.
Can you add a custom kitchen island?
Yes. Islands are part of our full remodels, including layout changes. Moving plumbing or electrical to an island adds to the price, and we cover it in the estimate.
