NEW YORK (PRWEB) August 09, 2021
Kitchens continue to be the most commonly renovated room in the home. Smart upgrades can yield high returns on the investment upon the sale of a home.
Sweeten, a home renovation marketplace that partners with thousands of general contractors across the country, has detailed the most common New York City kitchen renovation expenses, including price guidance for renovations ranging from budget to high-end.
The pandemic has caused a backlog in the supply of many construction materials and fixtures. For homeowners interested in remodeling, it’s smart to quickly sign with a contractor to lock in material prices. Sweeten also advises locking in a start date on the contractor’s calendar. Waiting could lead to longer delays and even more severe price inflation on materials.
Some of the key findings in the guide include:
Permitting costs can be significant:
- Plumbing permits: $2,000 – $5,000
- Electrical permits: $900
- Asbestos inspection: $500 – $1,000
Ancillary service costs depend on complexity:
- Design or architectural service can represent 15-35% of the total cost of renovation
- Average demolition costs are $4,000
- Plumbing services typically $2,000 – $3,500, but can go much higher depending on the project scope and the condition of existing plumbing
Materials costs vary significantly with quality level. Sweeten calculated average costs for 9 different materials categories, including:
- Cabinets can start as low as $130/linear foot, while the average is closer to $1000/linear foot for mid-grade quality
- Countertops can start at $5/linear foot for budget materials, but go as high as $100/linear foot for high end materials
