Same size kitchen, same region — different material tiers.
Cabinets typically take the largest share of a kitchen budget — often 30–40% of total cost. Custom cabinets can cost 5x what stock cabinets cost. Countertops, flooring, and appliances follow, with labor accounting for 20–35% of a typical project. A full-gut remodel that moves plumbing or electrical can easily double the cost of a cosmetic refresh of the same kitchen.
