Before you start

The layout sets the price.The cabinets set the schedule.

Three choices drive most of a kitchen’s price: whether the sink, range and fridge stay where they are, the cabinets, and the counters. Keeping the layout skips new plumbing, gas and electrical runs. Good cabinets often take six to eight weeks to arrive, so they’re ordered as soon as the design is final and the schedule is built around them. The kitchen projects we show signed between $74,866.25 and $130,000.00.

Scope of Work

What each part involves

Six parts make up a kitchen. Here’s what to know about each one before you pick.

What a kitchen costs
  1. 01

    Layout

    Keeping the sink, range and fridge where they are saves the most. Moving them means new plumbing, gas or electrical runs, and taking a wall down can need an engineered beam so the ceiling stays flat. Any permit the work needs is in place before that work starts.

  2. 02

    Cabinets

    Stock is the fastest and costs the least. Semi-custom gives you more sizes and finishes. Custom or inset fits any wall in any color. Good cabinets often take six to eight weeks to arrive, so they’re the first thing ordered.

  3. 03

    Countertops

    Quartz needs no sealing but doesn’t like hot pans. Granite handles heat and needs sealing now and then. Marble etches from lemon, vinegar and wine. Quartzite looks like marble and is much harder. Counters are templated after the cabinets are in, so the fit is exact.

  4. 04

    Plumbing and electrical

    A new kitchen usually needs dedicated circuits for the appliances, a 240V circuit for an electric range, and outlets at the island to code. Plumbers and electricians we manage do this work while the walls are open.

  5. 05

    Lighting and the hood

    Decide the lighting before demolition: recessed and under-cabinet lights get wired while the walls are open. A range hood ducted to the outside takes smoke and grease out of the house instead of filtering it back in.

  6. 06

    Floors, backsplash and paint

    The floor goes in before the cabinets are set. The backsplash can be ceramic subway, handmade-look tile or a full-height stone slab, each at its own price, and the walls get paint last.

Why The Home X

One point of contact.
Scope and changes in writing.

01

Written scope after our visit

After our visit you get it in writing: what we do and don’t do, the materials, allowances, schedule and price. If it isn’t in the scope, it isn’t in the job.

02

A crew we manage

A crew we manage does the work; plumbing, electrical and HVAC work goes to subcontractors in those trades, and other specialty trades when a job needs them. You have one point of contact.

03

Written change orders

If you change something, or we open a wall and find a problem, you get a written change order with the price. That work starts only after you sign it.

04

1-year workmanship warranty

Your contract carries a 1-year workmanship warranty. Manufacturer warranties on fixtures, appliances and materials pass through to you.

How it runs

From first call to
final walk-through.

01

Discovery call

First

Call (609) 874-0990 or send the form. We talk about the room, your timeline and your budget, then come to the house, measure, and look at what it's hiding: framing, plumbing, the electrical panel.

02

Scope and design

After the visit

After the visit you get a written scope: what we do and don’t do, the materials, allowances, schedule and price. Anything you haven’t picked yet is carried as an allowance. You owe nothing until you sign.

03

Construction

On site

A crew we manage does the work; plumbing, electrical and HVAC work goes to subcontractors in those trades, and other specialty trades when a job needs them. Any permit the work needs is in place before that work starts, and any change is a written change order you sign first.

04

Final walk-through

At the end

We walk every room we touched with you, write the punch list down and work through it. Your 1-year workmanship warranty is in your contract, and manufacturer warranties pass through to you.

It depends on the scope and on lead times for cabinets and countertops, which are usually the longest wait. For a wider view, Houzz’s 2026 survey of more than 20,000 U.S. homeowners found kitchen remodels averaged 5.8 months of construction. Your written scope includes the schedule before you sign, so you know the plan up front.

A crew we manage does the work; plumbing, electrical and HVAC work goes to subcontractors in those trades, and other specialty trades when a job needs them. You still deal with one company and one point of contact the whole way through.

Yes. We pull the permits the work needs, and the fee is in your scope. Any permit is in place before that work starts.

A 1-year workmanship warranty on our installation, written into your contract. Manufacturer warranties on the products themselves pass through to you.
