What Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Salem, Oregon? [2023]

Written by Kraft Custom Construction | Jul 1, 2022 6:00:45 PM

The cost and scale of your kitchen remodeling project go hand in hand. The more extensive the scope of your project, the more expensive it is, and vice versa. Before you get too far along daydreaming about the possibilities, it's best to set expectations around price and what you can expect kitchen remodeling in Salem, OR to include. 

Here is where Kraft Custom Construction comes in. Home remodeling is what we do. Get an inside look at the factors that impact price, what kitchen remodeling entails, and how much it can cost in this blog with us as your guide.

Kitchen Remodeling Cost Factors 

All kitchen remodeling projects start with three main factors: what you have, what you need, and what's in your budget. 

Kitchen Condition 

To determine what you have, take a look around your current kitchen. How old is it? How big? What kind of updates or repairs does it need? Ask yourself whether you need to rip everything out and start anew, or if you can keep the base of what you have and just revamp. Let these answers serve as the foundation of your kitchen remodeling project. From there, you can decide what you're aiming to accomplish with your remodel. 

Remodeling Goals 

Your remodeling goals are a combination of your kitchen needs and wants; they also directly impact your project cost. You can get away with few expenses if you only desire minor changes, while major improvements require a significant investment. 

Consider what's driving you to seek out a kitchen remodel in the first place. Is it because your kitchen is too small? Maybe you're sick of the outdated look? Overcrowded cabinets mean you need more storage; a lack of preparation space may lead you to want a kitchen island, peninsula, or butler's pantry.

Budget  

Once you get clear on what you want and need from your remodel, it's time to see what you can reasonably achieve within your budget. Dive deep into your finances to determine a price tag you feel comfortable with, and a means of financing the project. Create a budget accordingly. Your kitchen remodeler will help you in the budget-setting process; still, there are steps we recommend all homeowners take:

  • Research kitchen remodeling costs
  • Prioritize expenses based on your wants, needs, and budget
  • Consider the services you'd like to be included
  • Think about alternatives, either in material selections or the scope of the work, in case adjustments need to be made to align with your budget
  • Factor in the prices of eating out or alternative living arrangements while your kitchen is out of commission 
  • Add about 10-15% to your budget for discovered conditions or future changes you might want to add as you see the remodeled space come together

Keep these considerations in mind as we review kitchen remodeling costs and the results your investment yields.

Market Prices & Inflation

Market influences can also affect costs. Every remodeling project can involve products and labor from up to 20 companies, with every one of them setting their own costs. Inflation will push and pull these costs for every individual company, which will be factored into your final kitchen remodel price.
