Frequently Asked Questions About Reico Kitchen & Bath
What is the cost of a kitchen remodel?
According to the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), cabinets and hardware will make up close to a third (29%) of your kitchen remodel costs, followed by installation, appliances and countertops. The total cost to consider is directed by home value, with spending ranging from 5% to 20% of that value. Other factors that can influence spending include kitchen size and the project scope. A straight pull and replace of existing cabinets with changes typically costs less than changes to the design or the entire space.

How much should I plan to spend on a bathroom remodeling project?
In determining bathroom remodeling costs, the general rule of thumb based on studies by the NKBA is to spend 5% to 10% of the current value of your home. Exactly how much you do spend on your bathroom remodeling project is always up to you. Ask yourself “Why are you remodeling?" If you are selling the home, you may want to consider spending less on your bathroom remodeling project or using in stock cabinets to move quickly and re-coup any investment. If it is going to be your dream bathroom, spending 10% on your bathroom remodeling project may or may not be enough. In any instance, consider your investment and these questions:
• Are you keeping any fixtures or other items?
• Will you be moving or adding any plumbing?
• Will any switches or outlets require new wiring or location?
• Is a new floor needed?
The more yes’s to the above questions, the greater the likelihood that the cost of your bathroom remodel will be higher.
