How Much Does a Kitchen or Bathroom Remodel Cost?
One of the most important decisions homeowners face is determining the true cost of a remodel. While it's tempting to seek a simple number, the reality is more nuanced. Remodeling is a layered process—shaped by design vision, space functionality, material preferences, and the condition of your existing home. At Lincorp Borchert, we believe in giving homeowners a thoughtful, transparent understanding of what goes into your investment—so you can make decisions confidently and realistically.
The Honest Answer: It Depends
There’s no flat rate for remodeling, because no two homes—or homeowners—are alike. But we can give you a realistic starting point based on typical project types and what factors most influence cost:
Kitchen Remodeling
Most kitchen remodels range from $40,000 to $90,000+. Costs depend on:
-
The size and shape of the space
-
Whether you're altering the layout (e.g., moving plumbing or walls)
-
Cabinetry (custom, semi-custom, or stock)
-
Countertops (laminate, quartz, granite, etc.)
-
Appliance packages and upgrades
A smaller pull-and-replace kitchen may be on the lower end, while a full custom remodel with structural changes and high-end finishes will land higher.
Bathroom Remodeling
Expect bathroom remodels to fall between $25,000 and $60,000. Key cost drivers include:
-
Tile selection and square footage
-
Plumbing changes (e.g., moving the tub, toilet, or sink)
-
Fixture quality (standard vs. designer brands)
-
Custom cabinetry or vanities
-
Lighting and ventilation improvements
1-Day Showers
Our 1-day shower systems start around $9,500. These are high-performance, low-maintenance shower solutions featuring:
-
Seamless, waterproof wall surrounds
-

-
Fast and clean installation (often completed in one day)
-
Optional built-in shelving and seating
Perfect for homeowners looking for a quick upgrade without major demolition.
Whole-House Remodeling
Whole-house projects typically begin at $100,000+, depending on the square footage and scope. These comprehensive renovations may include:
-
Multiple room remodels
-
Floor plan reconfiguration
-
Updated systems (electrical, HVAC, insulation)
-
Custom design and permitting
These are transformative projects and require close collaboration between design and construction to deliver long-term value.
What Factors Influence Cost?
Remodeling costs are shaped by a number of variables. Here are the most significant:
-
Scope of Work: Are you refreshing finishes or rebuilding from the studs?
-
Material Selections: Mid-grade vs. high-end materials can double (or triple) total cost.
-
Home Age and Condition: Older homes often require updates to electrical, plumbing, or framing to meet modern code.
-
Permits and Engineering: Structural changes may require architectural plans or engineering, adding to both time and budget.
-
Accessibility Features: Designing for aging in place (e.g., walk-in tubs, curbless showers) adds long-term value but can increase cost.
