Planning a kitchen renovation can be a challenging task, and the kitchen design phase may feel like a rollercoaster of excitement and stress. An ideal kitchen design will be beautiful, and also be custom made to work well for you and your family.

“How much will my kitchen remodel cost?” is probably top of mind after you’ve been considering your dream kitchen remodel.

When taking one of the first steps of determining the budget for your new kitchen, understanding the average costs is a great starting point. On average for a Washington DC kitchen remodel cost without changing the floor plan can range $50k-80k* for a mid-range remodel cost. A high end kitchen remodel cost is more likely to run between $80k-$120k*. The difference in these always falls on quality and longevity; a high-end material and finish always upholds the best and usually the longest.

Your personal design selections will greatly impact the cost. When it comes to remodeling there is no one size fits all.

There are three main areas that impact your kitchen remodel cost. These include the size of project, infrastructure, and fixtures/finishes.

Any home alteration will require a building permit that will be obtained for you by your design build firm of choice. Supplemental permits (mechanical, electrical or plumbing) may be required as well: only skilled, licensed trade professionals may apply for these.

The permitting process for a kitchen renovation will vary depending on the scope of your project, and our team is here to guide you and support you along the way. For more information on the permitting process visit DCRA.gov.

The most obvious advantage of hiring a design build firm is dealing with one company for the duration of your projects from start to finish. Things tend to go more smoothly when there are less parties involved and when you work with a design build firm in DC, you don’t have to work with outside designers or project managers. With all construction parties being on the same team, it brings total accountability to the firm.

A design build firm is one company that is hired for the design and construction of a project. The design build process is an efficient way to save time, money and stress. When you hire a design build firm you enjoy working with one company instead of multiple companies. It simplifies an otherwise stressful remodeling process. Think of us as your one stop shop for your entire home remodeling project.

Financing a kitchen renovation will mainly depend on two things: desired value to add to your home and your personal valuation. However, with the DMV area being a central hub for home appreciation, the search for financing should not be a problem and that’s where we come in. We are more than happy to help you find multiple local banks and mortgage lenders that will thoroughly explain the process and options you have readily available.

One of the ways we help many clients in the DC, MD, & VA enjoy their homes sooner, is through flexible, secure, and affordable payment plans. Our financing programs cannot be found at your local bank and are often not available to “Chuck in the Truck” or your average contractor. Enjoy a range of programs that include absolutely NO money down and even NO monthly payments for up to 18 months, your Hammer design consultant will be able to find a promotional plan that makes your project completely affordable.
