Frequently Asked Questions

What is a reasonable budget for a kitchen remodel?

A reasonable kitchen remodeling budget cannot be determined responsibly without reviewing the home's existing conditions, desired scope, cabinetry, appliances, finishes, permitting needs, and construction complexity. A full-service design practice can help define the program and coordinate decisions before pricing. Ortiz Mexia Projects, Inc. does not publish standard kitchen pricing, so project-specific costs should be developed after the scope is understood.
