Full Kitchen Remodel One Owner. One Visit. One Final Number.
Cabinets, counters, tile, flooring, plumbing, electrical, and finish carpentry — handled by a single owner-operator. Site-visit quoted because the price moves significantly with layout changes, finish level, and rough-in work. No surprise charges.
Kitchen remodels are the most common high-value renovation in Central Indiana, and they're also the most-screwed-up. Most cost overruns trace to one of three things you can't see from photos: walls that turned out to be load-bearing once a contractor opened them up, plumbing or electrical that has to relocate to fit a new layout, or subfloor that's rotted under an old dishwasher leak. NHS quotes only after a site walk-through specifically because of this — a 30-minute visit saves $5,000+ in surprise charges later.

Full strip-out of existing cabinets, counters, flooring, and appliances. Hauled away. Subfloor + drywall inspected for damage.

Pricing
Most kitchen remodels start at $15,000 (basic refresh — cabinet swap, counter swap, paint, tile floor). Full gut + layout change runs $35,000-$80,000+ depending on cabinet level (stock vs semi-custom vs custom), counter material, and rough-in work. Site visit required for any quote — too many variables move the price for a remote estimate to be honest.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a full kitchen remodel cost in Central Indiana?
Most kitchen remodels start at $15,000+ and can run $35,000–$80,000+ depending on layout changes, cabinet level (stock vs semi-custom vs custom), counter material (laminate, quartz, granite), and whether plumbing or electrical needs to relocate. Always quoted after a site visit because the price is highly layout-dependent.
Why is your kitchen quote site-visit-only?
Three things you can't tell from a phone call or photos: (1) whether walls are load-bearing if you want a layout change, (2) what's behind the existing cabinets (plumbing route, electrical, vent stack), (3) the actual condition of subfloor and drywall. A 30-minute walk-through saves $5,000+ in surprise charges later.
Do you handle the plumbing and electrical for a kitchen remodel?
Yes for everything within the minor-electrical and minor-plumbing scope (outlet relocation, fixture swap, GFCI, sink/dishwasher rough-in). For a full panel upgrade or significant gas line relocation we sub to a licensed contractor and coordinate the schedule.
Do you install custom cabinets I bring myself?
Yes. Customer-supplied cabinets (IKEA, Home Depot, custom shops, or imported) are installed at our normal rate. We can also source through our preferred suppliers if you want one-stop shopping.
How long does a full kitchen remodel take?
Most kitchen remodels run 3-6 weeks from demo to final punch list. Critical path items: cabinet lead time (2-8 weeks), countertop template-to-install (1-2 weeks after cabinets), and any inspector visits if permitted work is involved.
