Cabinetry is typically 30–40% of a kitchen remodel budget. RTA (ready-to-assemble) starts lower; semi-custom adds $8K–$20K; full custom can exceed $40K for a large kitchen.

Countertops

Laminate is the most affordable option ($25–$50/sq ft installed). Quartz runs $70–$120/sq ft. Quartzite and marble can reach $150+/sq ft. Most Everett kitchens need 40–60 sq ft.

Layout Changes & Plumbing

Moving the sink or dishwasher requires replumbing — typically $2,000–$6,000 additional. Structural wall removal can add $5,000–$20,000 for engineering, permits, and beam installation.

Appliances

Builder-grade appliances run $3,000–$6,000 for a full set. Mid-range (Samsung, LG, Bosch) runs $6,000–$12,000. Professional-grade (Thermador, Wolf) can exceed $25,000.
