How Much Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Montclair and Northern NJ?

Kitchens are popular rooms for homeowners to focus their remodeling attention when looking to refresh their residences. Your kitchen is likely one of the most high-traction areas in your home since it serves multiple important purposes. Unfortunately, as one of the rooms that see the most use, it's more susceptible to general wear and tear and can quickly become outdated or impractical if the needs of your family change. 

Luckily, kitchen remodeling is possible. A remodel can improve the aesthetics of your kitchen and ensure it's well-maintained with perfectly functioning appliances, electrical and plumbing components, and fixtures and features. Ultimately, we’ve found at G&L and Sons Renovation that a kitchen remodel can improve the value and livability of a Montclair or Northern NJ home. 

Yet, how much does a kitchen remodel cost in Montclair and Northern NJ? In this blog, we’ve discussed the cost of remodeling a kitchen in Montclair, NJ, and Northern NJ to help you decide if it's time for a small or large remodel. 

How Much Does It Cost On Average To Remodel A Kitchen In Montclair and Northern NJ

A kitchen remodel in NJ is an exciting endeavor, but it can be somewhat challenging, especially if you’re grappling with trying to uncover costs. A kitchen remodel cost in NJ can vary based on many factors, which we’ll discuss later, but you shouldn’t feel too daunted. 

If you choose a reliable and fair company like family-owned G&L and Sons Renovation, you can trust that they will provide you with the average cost of a kitchen remodel in NJ and that it will be fair. For example, G&L and Sons Renovation have revealed that the average cost of kitchen renovation in N is between $75,000 and $200,000.  

The lower end of this spectrum usually only includes basic remodeling, such as semi-custom cabinetry, fresh paint, new countertops with cheaper materials, and new appliances that might not be high-end, depending on how budgetary spending has been allocated. 

In contrast, a major kitchen renovation in New Jersey usually includes custom cabinetry, high-end or luxury appliances, new flooring, and luxury finishes like granite countertops. A major NJ kitchen remodel can also include a reconfiguration of the kitchen's original layout or a kitchen addition that requires structural changes. 

Of course, for a full kitchen remodel cost breakdown and to know what it will include, you must talk with G&L and Sons Renovation. However, knowing the average pricing and what's included should give you an excellent basis to judge whether a kitchen remodel is in your future. G&L and Sons Renovation will work alongside you within your budgetary constraints to help you plan and execute a kitchen remodel you’ll love. 

Factors That Influence The Cost Of A Kitchen Remodel In Montclair and Northern NJ

The average cost of kitchen remodeling in NJ can be influenced by many different factors. To help you learn more about what can affect kitchen upgrade costs in Montclair, NJ, we’ve shared key factors that affect the full kitchen remodel cost breakdown you’ll receive from a Montclair kitchen remodel contractor.

The Size Of The Kitchen 

How big your kitchen is will affect the cost of your remodel. If it's larger, you’ll need more materials and appliances, not to mention more labor hours to renovate it. These elements push up the price of your remodel and increase the total expenditure. 

On average, a small kitchen is considered to be less than 70 square feet, a midsize kitchen is about 100 square feet, and a large kitchen is around 200 square feet. Based on these estimates, you can prepare to pay more or less than you might imagine for your remodel. 

The Quality Of The Available Materials and Finishes

This one might seem like a no-brainer, but the quality of the materials and finishes—like the kitchen cabinets, countertops, flooring, and lighting—you choose for your kitchen remodel can also impact its price. 

High-quality materials typically have higher price tags, so you’ll need to budget for them if you want materials that will provide durability and improved aesthetics. However, this is not to say that more budget-friendly materials and finishes are a no-go. At G&L and Sons Renovation, we can guide you toward budget-friendly items that will last and be worth buying. 

You should also note that ectopic materials and custom features like one-of-a-kind custom cabinetry or custom porcelain tiles will cost more than the run-of-the-mill materials available for your kitchen. So you’ll need to decide what you ‘need’ and what is more of a ‘want.’ when budgeting. 

The Kitchen’s Design and Layout 

If you have a smaller kitchen and don't plan on changing the size or configuration – floorplan – and want to keep most of your current appliances and make no changes to counters, lighting, and plumbing, you will pay less. This is because not much work is being done, and the project will be referred to as a ‘pull and set.’ You’ll likely pay closer to the $75,000 mark for this type of remodel. 

On the other hand, if you decide to change the kitchen's configuration but not the size or structural elements, it will be more expensive, but not as expensive as changing the structural elements and configuration. 

Usually, your remodel will be considered a mid-level renovation if you’re only planning the former, as it will include repairs to issues found and the installation of new appliances and fixtures. Cost-wise, you can expect between $100,000 and $125,000. The latter requires the most work and thus is the most costly since everything is being changed, including floorplan and structural elements. You can expect it to hit the upper limits of around $200,000 if not more.
