What should I have ready for a kitchen remodel estimate?

Your address, rough room dimensions and photos of the current kitchen are a useful starting point. Separate what must change from the features you would like if the budget allows.

  • Layout: note whether the sink, appliances and walls will stay in place or move.
  • Selections: identify cabinets, counters, appliances and flooring to keep or replace. Mark undecided finishes so you can compare the allowances used in each proposal.
  • Budget and timing: share your planning budget, priorities and any dates that affect access to the home.
  • Quote scope: ask which demolition, installation, related trade work and debris removal are included, and how additional work would be priced and approved.

A planning range helps you choose a direction. A written project estimate should identify the measured scope, selections, allowances and exclusions. Compare those details before comparing totals; a lower figure may cover less work.

For a narrower project, use our cabinet-only quote checklist. If you want to enlarge the room, review kitchen-extension scope. Then request a kitchen estimate.

What Our Clients Say

★★★★★
"We had our kitchen completely redone, and I was honestly dreading living through construction. The crew kept everything cleaner than I expected, and every afternoon someone walked me through what had been finished that day. The cabinets fit perfectly, the island turned out exactly like the drawing, and they even caught a plumbing issue behind one wall before it became a much bigger problem. I'd hire Southeastern Renovation again in a heartbeat."
— Jonathan, Fort Mill
★★★★★
"I had about a hundred ideas saved on Pinterest and wasn't sure what would actually work in our house. Jared helped narrow everything down without trying to upsell us. The finished space feels like something out of a magazine but still feels like our home."
— Paige, Daniel Island

Common Questions

For context, JLC/Zonda's 2025 Charleston Cost vs. Value benchmarks are approximately $28,000 for a minor midrange kitchen remodel, $80,000 for a major midrange remodel and $160,000 for an upscale remodel. These reference projects assume a 200-square-foot kitchen with 30 linear feet of cabinetry. The minor scope retains cabinet boxes; major scopes replace cabinetry and differ in finishes and appliances. These are third-party planning benchmarks, not Southeastern Renovation quotes. Your written estimate depends on room size, selections, trade work, structural changes, allowances and existing conditions.
Construction time and the full project schedule are different. Cabinet-front installation is a narrower scope than refacing combined with countertop replacement, and a full kitchen remodel adds other trades and inspections. Design decisions, approvals, cabinet ordering and countertop templating can affect the schedule before and during construction. Ask for a project-specific sequence and expected kitchen downtime after the scope, selections and product availability are confirmed; no single duration fits all of these projects.
Yes, but it requires planning. We recommend setting up a temporary kitchen in another room with a microwave, coffee maker, and mini fridge. Expect dust and noise during business hours (7am-5pm). We keep your home as livable as possible with dust barriers and daily cleanup. Some homeowners stay with family for major renovations.
Cabinet refacing keeps your existing cabinet boxes and replaces the doors, drawer fronts, and veneers for a fresh look at $8,000-$15,000. A full remodel replaces everything including cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, plumbing, and often changes the layout. Refacing can involve less work than a full remodel, but installation time and the full project schedule depend on the selected work, product availability and existing conditions. Compare the written scope and schedule before choosing.

If your cabinet boxes and layout work, a finish update may be the scope to discuss first. Our cabinet painting, refacing and replacement comparison helps separate a colour change from new doors or a broader kitchen remodel.

Plan the cost around your scope and location

Charleston kitchen benchmarks: compare the scope first

The 2025 Cost vs. Value Report © Zonda Media — Charleston provides these rounded reference points. Each describes a 200-square-foot kitchen with 30 linear feet of cabinetry; none is a Southeastern Renovation quote or a measured 2026 local average.

  • About $28,000 — minor midrange: retain cabinet boxes and replace fronts and hardware, with selected appliances, laminate counters, sink, flooring and paint. This is more than cabinet painting alone.
  • About $80,000 — major midrange: replace cabinetry with semi-custom cabinets and an island, plus laminate counters, specified appliances, lighting, flooring and paint.
  • About $160,000 — upscale: custom cabinetry, stone counters, premium appliances and upgraded fixtures, lighting and flooring.

See the publisher's minor, major midrange and upscale project definitions. A limited refresh, a different room size or an addition needs its own scope. Confirm appliance supply versus installation, trade work, permits, allowances and concealed-condition treatment in your estimate. Use our kitchen estimate checklist to prepare.

Separate cabinet finish work from new cabinets, countertops, appliance changes and structural layout work. Compare allowances and what happens if concealed plumbing, wiring or framing needs repair.

Compare the West Ashley kitchen guide or Rock Hill kitchen guide, then find the guide for your location.

Published ranges are planning references for the scope and location named in each guide. Confirm your address, selections, allowances and exclusions in a written estimate. Fixed-price and cost-plus contracts are both available depending on scope.
