Planning a kitchen remodel? One of the first questions we hear at PHS General Contractor Philadelphia is: How much should I budget for my project?
Here’s a helpful breakdown for homeowners in Germantown and nearby neighborhoods.
Basic Kitchen Remodel: $15,000–$25,000
Includes drywall repair, paint, new countertops, updated appliances, and refreshed cabinetry. Perfect for homeowners wanting a facelift without structural changes.
Mid-Range Remodel: $25,000–$50,000
Involves a more substantial transformation — new cabinetry, premium countertops, tile backsplash, flooring, lighting upgrades, and layout changes. Most of our clients in home renovations opt for this level of investment.
High-End Remodel: $50,000+
Think custom cabinetry, luxury finishes, professional-grade appliances, structural reconfiguration, and premium tile work. Ideal for large kitchens and historic homes in neighborhoods like Brewerytown and Fairmount.
Tips for Budget Success:
✔ Prioritize must-haves vs. nice-to-haves
✔ Build in a 10–15% contingency fund
✔ Work with a licensed kitchen remodeler who offers transparent estimates
