Where the money goes
- Cabinets. Nearly 30% of the budget, HomeAdvisor says. Stock cabinets run $100 to $300 a linear foot; custom $500 to $1,200+.
- Counters. Bob Vila lists laminate at $8 to $35 a square foot and quartz at $15 to $70 for the material.
- Layout changes. Moving the sink or range adds plumbing, gas and electrical work.
- Appliances. A pro-style range can cost as much as the cabinets.
