Why Kitchen Remodeling Costs Vary So Much
One homeowner may spend $60,000 for a kitchen remodel in St Louis while another invests more than $200,000. Yet both projects may appear similar at first glance.
The difference comes down to hundreds of decisions involving cabinetry, countertops, appliances, lighting, flooring, labor, and construction complexity.
At Thompson Price, we guide homeowners through these decisions every day. Therefore, we built this estimator to provide a realistic starting point rather than an unrealistic “too good to be true” number.
Several factors influence kitchen remodeling costs, including:
- Cabinet selection
- Countertop materials
- Appliance packages
- Layout modifications
- Electrical upgrades
- Plumbing relocation
- Flooring replacement
- Structural changes
- Permit requirements
- Project size
While no online calculator can replace a detailed design and planning process, it can help establish a comfortable investment range before moving forward.
The Biggest Factors Affecting Kitchen Remodeling Costs
Kitchen Cabinetry
Kitchen cabinets typically represent the largest portion of a kitchen remodeling budget.
For example, a kitchen using semi-custom cabinetry from Waypoint may have a significantly different investment than one featuring handcrafted custom cabinetry built to exact specifications.
At Thompson Price, we offer everything from contractor-grade cabinetry to fully custom cabinetry built in 1/16-inch increments.

Kitchen Layout Changes
Keeping your existing kitchen layout typically costs less than moving walls, plumbing, or electrical systems.
However, many homeowners find that removing barriers between rooms creates a more functional and enjoyable living space.
Common changes include:

- Opening kitchens to living rooms
- Relocating sinks

Many homeowners underestimate how much flooring and lighting contribute to the overall appearance of a finished kitchen.
New flooring, under-cabinet lighting, decorative fixtures, and recessed lighting can transform a space while improving daily usability.
