Costs

Kitchen Remodeling cost in Salt Lake City

Typical Salt Lake City range: $14,000 - $78,000 per kitchen. Reflects Utah labor and material costs. Estimate for planning, not a quote - call (844) 624-3161 for a written scope.

Moving the sink or range means moving supply, drain and vent. A drain needs its fall, so relocating a sink across the room is a floor-system question, not a cosmetic one.

High-altitude UV, big temperature swings and real snow load mean assemblies rated for a mild climate fail early here.

Ventilation gets skipped and should not. A sealed modern kitchen with a high-CFM hood and no make-up air can backdraft a water heater or fireplace.

Subway-tile backsplash partially set in thin-set with spacers, a notched trowel and a mixing tub on the covered counter.

What the job includes

  • Layout and work-triangle planning
  • Cabinet refacing or replacement
  • Countertop templating and install
  • Plumbing and electrical relocation
  • Range hood and make-up air
  • Flooring, tile and backsplash
