How Much Does it Cost to Remodel or Renovate a Kitchen in Boca Raton?

 

---

 

What is the difference between a simple kitchen remodel in Boca Raton VS a kitchen renovation in Boca Raton? Many people use these terms interchangeably not understanding that there is a difference between the two types of projects.

 

A kitchen remodel is the least expensive solution, it is simply a cosmetic solution, replacing tired appliances, refacing or replacing cabinets and countertops without moving the location or redesigning the kitchen.  Many times a remodeling project can be done without pulling building permits depending on the type home you own (i.e. single family, townhouse or condo) and the scope of work.  

First, let’s talk about the price range for an average-sized kitchen project. When design-build experts discuss price ranges, they’re typically broken into three distinct categories:

Size and finish level contribute heavily toward the total price of any Boca Raton kitchen remodeling or renovation project. The size of your kitchen is determined by its total square footage. The finish level of your project refers to the quality and price of fixtures, materials, and finishes on countertops, cabinetry, flooring, and appliances. These costs can typically be planned for in advance during the design phase and can even be reduced with the help of a qualified design-build company expert on your side.

 

The scope of a kitchen project refers to the type and amount of work you’ll need to complete your project. The question you should ask yourself when you set out to transform your kitchen space is: Do I need a simple kitchen remodel, or a full renovation? 

There are two primary types of kitchen projects homeowners can opt for:

 

A “rip-and-replace” remodeling project, is a cost-effective solution. This is because you won’t have to move appliances around, forcing you to overhaul your kitchen’s electrical layout, plumbing, HVAC or structural components. However, the reason most people want a full renovation (rather than a simple facelift remodeling project) is to have a more functional design with modern storage options and varied appliances. This forces the project into a complete overhaul – also called a gut renovation.

 

A gut renovation is far more complex and thus, more expensive. A kitchen renovation project often involves stripping your kitchen down to the studs and subfloor to totally transform the layout of your space. Appliances will be shifted around to accommodate more modern storage solutions. New electrical, plumbing, HVAC and structural components may be involved in the project. This requires professional design services, permitting, and a licensed general contractor.

There are two main services to consider when estimating the total price for a kitchen renovation or remodeling project in Boca Raton: design and build services. Design services include the conceptualization, planning, and construction drawing necessary to pull a building permit and communicate to the builder the scope of services needed to build the project. Build services cover the actual construction process of the kitchen remodeling or renovation project. 

Design-build services combine the two services and provide a more economical and integrated solution for homeowners. When you hire a design-build firm to perform a remodeling or renovation project, they fully understand the cost and ramifications of their designs. Homeowners will never discover they’re dramatically over budget when it comes to building out what they planned.
