The price of a kitchen remodel varies substantially based on the size of the kitchen, age of your home, and the finishes you choose. It’s possible then to have a very expensive small kitchen, or a very affordable large kitchen. There are some useful resources that can be helpful in determining a possible cost range for your kitchen. An independent industry publication, called the Journal of Light Construction provides some useful insight by surveying remodelers across the country, then providing specific regional data for how much a kitchen might cost. Their annual Cost vs Value report is cited often by national media outlets, with current cost ranges for a major kitchen remodel in Chicagoland tending to be somewhere between $85,000 and $160,000.
