By Bryan Slowick | Jan 23, 2022

The best way to obtain an accurate kitchen remodel quote, of course, is to contact your Chicago contractor for an in-home consultation. Before placing this call, however, many of our clients prefer to research ballpark figures of remodeling costs and plan their budgets accordingly. This post will provide you with area-specific information for 2023 kitchen remodel projects of different scopes and sizes in Chicago and the surrounding areas.

 The figures cited here are according to https://www.remodeling.hw.net/cost-vs-value/2023/

 

Minor Kitchen Remodel

The average cost for updating a 200-square-foot kitchen with 30 linear feet of countertops and cabinetry in the Chicago area is $26,790. In this renovation, cabinet boxes are preserved but new cabinet panels and drawer fronts are added with new hardware. New laminate countertops are installed, along with a mid-priced sink and faucet. A new, energy-efficient cooktop/oven range and refrigerator are also added. A wall covering is installed, alongside repainted trim work, and a new, resilient floor. Kitchens with these specifications typically recoup 85.7% of the initial investment, or $22,963.
