Kitchen And Bathroom Remodeling

Light Remodeling

This is where the homeowner leaves the main fixtures and appliances in their existing locations and only replaces certain aspects, such as counter tops, faucets, flooring or re-facing of the cabinetry. This process has many options and can cost one-quarter the budget of a full kitchen or bathroom remodel. Building permits are sometimes not required. Check with your city planning department as a first step.

Major Remodeling

Here the homeowner decides to replace the existing cabinetry along with moving main fixtures and/or appliances. The options are endless. City building departments generally require plans before issuing a building permit. The cost for such projects (SF Bay Area), start at $35,000 and can reach more than $75,000 for a kitchen depending on the scope of work. A full bath remodel can range between $12,000-$30,000.

Things To Think About At Project Conception

  • Design and overall look
  • Limited walking distance within the cooking triangle
  • Cabinet type and style (custom or module)
  • Counter top and back splash type
  • Fixtures (Sinks, faucets, bathtubs, toilets, etc.)
  • Appliances (Cook top, oven, microwave, refrigerator, etc.)
  • Lighting
  • Flooring

Kitchen and bathroom remodeling requires much planning, research, and legwork. The more answers and decisions you have for the contractor at bidding will better define the costs.
