Most medium kitchens land in one of three bands: $12,500–$28,000 for a refresh, $30,000–$68,000 for a full replacement in the same layout, and $61,000–$143,000 for a custom remodel. Cabinets and layout changes move the number most.
Hidden problems and changes of mind. In older homes, opening walls can turn up outdated wiring, galvanized pipes or ungrounded outlets that have to be brought up to code; a good quote names this risk up front. Keeping 10–15% of the budget in reserve covers most of it.
Start from the level of remodel, then decide where to spend: cabinets and counters you touch every day are usually worth it; trendy finishes less so.
It can be, but it is the fastest way to grow a budget, because plumbing, gas, venting and wiring all have to follow. Often better storage or an island fixes the problem for less.
