I think we paid about $8,000 (Canadian Dollars) which included all upper and lower cabinets, full island and laminate countertops. Quality of product is about mid range.Just remember whatever you put into your kitchen you will get back when you sell and then some - one of the best remodels you can do. Worth every penny.Good luck....Show more

Finish with painted walls, trim and ceiling." That average price is nation wide. It depends on so many things though.

Irvin Guiles: We remodeled our kitchen, used thick real hardwood, granite countertops, replaced all appliances BUT refinished existing cabinets; our total costs were about $6500. We didn't hire any contractors,either, we did it all ourselves, so that may be on the low side.

Inell Riesgo: It is not unusual to spend 10,000 on a kitchen remodel. Granite countertops and stainless appliances are as expensive as cabinets in many kitchens.
