Cost To Renovate A Kitchen In Boston In 2024
Thinking about renovating your kitchen in Boston? It is important to consider several factors such as the size of the kitchen, the scope of work, design services, and the quality of finishes.
Please continue reading for a rough estimate of how much renovating your kitchen in Boston may cost.
Size of the Kitchen: The size of your kitchen, typically measured in square feet, is an important factor. Cabinets and countertops are measured in linear feet. Many older condos and single-family homes in Boston have smaller kitchen footprints. In some cases, load-bearing walls may need to be removed to open up the kitchen, which can add significant costs to your budget.
Scope of Work: The scope of work needs to be carefully planned. Boston is an expensive city for renovations. We can help you estimate the cost of the work. Consider the scope of work as all the construction activities needed to complete the renovation. Typically, this is categorized as either a full gut rehab or simply removing and replacing the existing kitchen. During a gut rehab, layouts may change and water fixtures may be moved.
Design Services: It is important to determine if you will need to hire a designer, architect, or engineer. Boston has strict permitting requirements, so any structural or layout changes will need an architect or engineer. Design fees vary; sometimes it is a flat fee, while other times it is 5–15% of the construction cost.
Finish Quality: The level of finish can vary significantly in Boston. Some kitchens are done on a budget, while others are luxurious and very expensive. This applies to both labor and materials. Different contractors may be suitable for different finish levels.
A medium-sized kitchen renovation in Boston typically starts at $25,000 and can cost more depending on the level of work involved.
Price Ranges for Medium-Sized Kitchen Renovations in Boston
Budget Kitchen: A budget kitchen costs around $25,000. Materials may come from stores like Home Depot, Ikea, Lowe's, and Floor & Decor. These kitchens are often designed for rental properties. The cost may be reduced by reusing existing components or reducing the scope.
Mid-Range Kitchen: A mid-range kitchen starts at $40,000 and features higher-quality materials and more custom components than a budget kitchen. It offers more design and material options.
Luxurious Kitchen: A luxurious kitchen includes high-end finishes and custom features. These kitchens require a designer and are more expensive than other options. Cabinets are often custom-manufactured, and high-end appliances and extra features such as a pot filler above the stove, heated floors, and a wine fridge may be included.
