What Does a Kitchen Renovation Really Cost in 2025? Here’s the Breakdown You Didn’t See Coming

At first glance, a $5 cabinet knob vs. a $20 knob might not seem like a big deal but multiply that across 25 pieces of hardware and suddenly you’re looking at a $375 difference… on knobs alone. Now imagine that same level of variation applied to cabinetry, lighting, appliances, flooring, and finishes and you’ll quickly understand why kitchen renovation costs in 2025 can range so widely.

💡 Average kitchen remodel costs in 2025:

  • Medium kitchen: $70,000

  • Large kitchen: $100,000

  • Minor remodel: $8,000–$30,000

  • Major remodel: $40,000–$90,000

  • Luxury remodel: $100,000+

The biggest ticket item? Cabinetry costing $400 or more per box. Add in semi-custom upgrades, appliance packages, lighting, and even those deceptively “minor” accessories, and you’ve built a serious investment.
