Cost questions

Before you set a budget

Q1What drives a kitchen price higher?

A larger room, custom cabinets, natural stone, moving the sink or range, or removing a wall. In the older homes of Mariemont, Terrace Park and Madeira, new wiring and leveling the floor add to it.

Q2What is left out of this number?

Appliances, plus any moved walls, windows, plumbing or gas lines.

Q3Do kitchens cost more in Indian Hill than in Loveland?

Labor costs about the same anywhere in the metro, since the same crews drive to all of it. Finishes and the house itself matter more: a 1940s home usually hides more surprises than one from the 1990s.

Q4If labor is not the whole price, what is the rest?

Materials, permits, overhead like insurance and trucks, and a normal margin fill in the rest. Every one of them is listed on this page.
