Estimated cost: Kitchen Remodeling: Mid-size project
$11,500 to $29,000
Typical: $20,000
Based on construction prices in the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ area (ZIP 10301, Staten Island, NY).
In this metro area, half of the hired kitchen projects that households reported in the 2023 American Housing Survey cost less than $19,500, small updates and full remodels together (33 projects).
Estimate confidence: Medium. The data behind this project level are less precise than for other levels.
Mid-size project: The middle of what households paid contractors for a kitchen remodel. Many kitchen projects are partial, so this is below the cost of replacing a whole kitchen. The survey records cost, not scope.

- Your actual cost depends on your home, your choices and your contractor, and quotes may be lower or higher.

How It Works
How This Estimate Works
An estimate, not a quote
The estimate describes published public data, adjusted for the area. It is not a quote and not a Goodhaus price.
Priced for your area
The area adjustment is set for the metro area (or the state outside metros). ZIP codes in the same area get the same adjustment.
Same scope, local prices
The area adjustment reflects construction price levels for the same scope. Local habits in project size or finish are not included. In the survey, spending rises with home value, so owners of high-value homes often spend at the upscale end or above.
From a smaller update to a full remodel
The three levels are parts of what households reported paying contractors to the Census Bureau, from a smaller update to a full remodel, not fixed scope packages.
The full remodel range
Full remodel is the upper quarter of hired projects (75th to 95th percentile). Permitted full remodels in San Francisco fall in this band at that area's price level.
Local figures
Where the survey has enough projects in your metro area, the median that local households reported is shown beside the estimate; it mixes small and full projects.
Room size
Room size is not used because the public data do not record it; an unusually large or small room can fall outside the range.
