The kitchen remains the most requested remodeling project for a reason — it’s where homeowners spend the most time and typically see the strongest return on investment when selling.

Cabinet Refacing vs. Full Replacement

Refacing existing cabinet boxes with new doors and hardware can refresh a kitchen at a fraction of the cost of full replacement, and is a popular middle-ground option for homeowners not ready for a gut renovation.

Countertop Upgrades

Quartz has overtaken granite as the most requested countertop material thanks to its durability and low maintenance, though granite remains a solid, less expensive alternative.

Layout Changes

Opening a kitchen to an adjacent living space is one of the most popular — and most expensive — changes, since it typically involves removing load-bearing walls and requires a permit and structural review.
