Over the years, the kitchen has transformed from the practical room in your home where food is prepared and served to the focal point and entertaining hub for guests. Think about it - when people come over, where is the first place they go to sit? It's most likely the bar stools in your kitchen while you're preparing snacks or drinks. This causes lots of families to take a step back and get a real look at their kitchen. Are you bumping into each other around dinner time? Are there too many TV tray meals going on? If so, you may be in the market for a kitchen renovation. However, kitchen renovations can range in price. We're here to give you a better understanding of what you can expect when thinking about remodeling.

A complete renovation consisting of knocking down walls, changing plumbing location, and just overall changing the structure of your kitchen, can range anywhere from $75,000 - $125,000.
