Quick Guide: How Much to Renovate a Kitchen? - Nuenza

Deciding to remodel your kitchen is a big step. You may have hundreds of ideas and are itching to get started, but like any home improvement, there’s a lot to consider. 

From the appliances to the backsplash to the flooring – not to mention changing the plumbing and lighting – the costs to renovate a kitchen will require a decent amount of coin, particularly for one that’s professionally remodeled.

No matter your goals, the Nuenza team is here to help you figure out what is the best Montreal kitchen design for your home.

Kitchen Renovation Costs

Here is the average cost of what you can expect to pay for a new kitchen, depending on the size you have:

  • A small one of 70 square feet or less will cost between $12,000 – $26,000.
  • A medium one of 100-150 square feet will cost between $19,500 – $52,000.
  • A medium one of 150-175 square feet will cost between $26,000 – $52,000.
  • A large one of 200 or more square feet will cost between $40,000 – $78,000.

Remember, the costs listed above are just an approximation. Only after a detailed consultation with our team will we be able to determine a more accurate amount for the kitchen renovation costs per square foot at your home. 

Tips on How to Budget

The best way to ensure that your project goes smoothly is to create a budget. This will give yourself and our team a solid footing for materials, layout, design, everything.

We advise you to create a breakdown of your budget, so you can cover every aspect of the renovation. It’s up to you to decide what portion will cover:

  • Designs
  • Installations
  • Appliances & Ventilation
  • Cabinetry & Hardware
  • Countertops
  • Flooring
  • Lighting
  • Plumbing
  • Doors & Windows

While our team is experienced, professional, and knowledgeable in remodelling a kitchen, there is always the possibility of problems arising, such as pests, weakened structures, and toxic materials. 

A good amount of your budget should be set aside to cover surprises, which should be between 15%-20%. Although this may seem like a high number at first glance, it’s always best to be prepared, and the good news is that if there are no surprise issues, you can immediately deduct that amount from your overall budget!

Ways to Save Money on Your Kitchen Renovation

When it’s time to renovate the kitchen, there are some smart choices you can make to get the design you want while protecting your wallet.

While choosing customized designs can come with a hefty price tag in some cases, this is not always necessarily true. In large part, the cost will depend on the materials used. While Nuenza does not reface existing cabinets, the price of new cabinets will vary according to the design, which is why speaking to the design professionals at Nuenza is your best bet when trying to cut costs for your kitchen renovation. 

Also, you don’t have to do everything all at once. This means you can save up for certain elements, such as appliances, and then have a rest period to save up for the next sections you want to tackle.
