Where Does the Kitchen Budget Go?
- Cabinetry & Hardware (35–40%): The single largest line item. Plywood boxes with solid wood dovetail drawers outlast particleboard.
- Skilled Trade Labor (25–30%): Licensed electrical circuits, plumbing rough-in, and finish carpentry.
- Countertops & Backsplash (12–15%): Quartz slabs, fabrication template, undermount sink cutouts, and tile labor.
- Permits & Haul-away (5–8%): City inspection fees, trade plan reviews, and roll-off dumpster rentals.
- Contingency Reserve (10%): Essential for hidden dishwasher subfloor rot or non-code wiring.
