Overview

About budget kitchen remodeling

A smaller budget does not mean a disappointing kitchen. The key is deciding where money makes the biggest visible and functional difference, and where you can economize without regret.

Refacing or painting cabinets, updating counters and hardware, adding a backsplash and improving lighting can change a kitchen dramatically without moving a single pipe.

Cabinet painting or refacing

Options

Choices to consider

Cosmetic refresh

Paint, hardware, lighting and a new backsplash for the biggest look change per dollar.

Partial remodel

Replace the worst elements, such as counters and flooring, and keep the rest.

Phased approach

Complete the project in stages over time to spread the cost.

What affects the price

Cost drivers

Keeping the existing layout
Refacing or painting instead of replacing cabinets
Material choices for counters and floors
DIY-friendly tasks you take on

Timeline

Cosmetic updates can often be completed in a couple of weeks of on-site work.

Before you start

Set a contingency amount for surprises.
Do not skimp on the parts hidden behind walls, like plumbing and wiring.
Focus first on the elements you touch and see every day.
