Frequently Asked Questions

What is a realistic budget for renovating a kitchen?

A realistic kitchen renovation budget varies substantially with the project’s scope, existing conditions, cabinetry, appliances, finishes, structural changes, permitting needs, and construction requirements. Ortiz Mexia Projects, Inc. does not publish a standard price because each project is custom. A design consultation can help clarify priorities, define the intended work, and establish a more informed project direction before detailed planning begins.
