Kitchen Remodeling Costs
Kitchens remain one of our most requested projects, and for good reason. As the heart of modern homes, kitchens serve as both functional cooking spaces and social hubs where families gather and entertain. In the Valley, we’re seeing increasing demand for open-concept kitchens that blend seamlessly with living areas while incorporating smart storage solutions and energy-efficient appliances. Your investment will vary based on the scope of work, material selections, and whether structural changes are needed.
Basic Kitchen
- Labor: $8,000 - $18,000
- Materials: $10,000 - $25,000
- Total: $18,000 - $43,000
A basic kitchen remodel typically focuses on cosmetic updates while maintaining the existing layout. At this price point, expect stock cabinets, standard countertops (such as granite or basic quartz), and mid-range appliances. We often update lighting fixtures, add a tile backsplash, and install new flooring. While the layout stays the same, these updates can dramatically improve both functionality and appearance, making this an excellent choice for homeowners seeking a significant impact on a modest budget.
Mid Range Kitchen
- Labor: $20,000 - $40,000
- Materials: $30,000 - $60,000
- Total: $50,000 - $100,000
Mid-range kitchen remodels offer more flexibility in design and material choices. This budget allows for semi-custom cabinets, high-quality quartz or granite countertops, and premium appliances. We can typically accommodate minor layout changes, such as adding an island or expanding into adjacent space. Additional features might include under-cabinet lighting, a custom tile backsplash, and upgraded fixtures. This range hits the sweet spot for many Valley homeowners, providing substantial improvements that maintain their value well over time.
Luxury Kitchen
- Labor: $42,000 - $80,000
- Materials: $65,000 - $100,000
- Total: $107,000 - $180,000
Luxury kitchen remodels represent the pinnacle of design and functionality. These projects often involve significant structural changes to create the perfect space. Custom cabinets, exotic stone or premium engineered countertops, and professional-grade appliances are standard at this level. Luxury features might include built-in coffee stations, wine refrigerators, and smart home integration. We often incorporate statement lighting fixtures, custom hood vents, and specialized storage solutions. These kitchens are truly custom spaces, designed to meet the specific needs and preferences of discerning homeowners.
Master Bathroom Remodeling Costs
Master (primary) bathroom remodeling has evolved significantly in recent years, with Valley homeowners increasingly viewing these spaces as personal retreats rather than just functional rooms. Today’s master bathrooms often incorporate spa-like features, advanced technology, and luxury finishes. The investment range varies based on room size, layout changes, and your chosen amenities. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you can expect at different price points.
Basic Master Bathroom
- Labor: $15,000 - $23,000
- Materials: $6,000 - $9,000
- Total: $21,000 - $32,000
A basic master bathroom remodel focuses on updating essential elements while maintaining the existing layout. This typically includes new tile flooring, a standard vanity with quartz or granite countertop, basic ceramic tile shower surround, and updated fixtures in chrome or brushed nickel finishes. While working within budget constraints, we ensure proper waterproofing and ventilation to protect your investment. This level of remodel is perfect for homeowners wanting a fresh, clean look without major structural changes.
Mid Range Master Bathroom
- Labor: $24,000 - $45,000
- Materials: $9,000 - $20,000
- Total: $33,000 - $65,000
Mid-range master bathroom remodels offer more design flexibility and upgraded materials. At this price point, we can typically modify the layout to improve flow and functionality. Expect semi-custom vanities, premium tile work including accent strips or decorative inserts, frameless glass shower enclosures, and higher-end plumbing fixtures. Additional features might include dual sinks, a separate soaking tub, improved lighting, and heated flooring—amenities that significantly enhance daily comfort and convenience.
Luxury Master Bathroom
- Labor: $46,000 - $75,000
- Materials: $22,000 - $40,000
- Total: $68,000 - $115,000
Luxury master bathroom remodels transform the space into a true spa-like retreat. These projects often involve expanding the footprint or complete reconfiguration of the space. Custom vanities, premium natural stone or large-format porcelain tiles, rain showerheads with body sprays, freestanding soaking tubs, and smart toilets are common features. We frequently incorporate custom lighting schemes, heated floors throughout, steam showers, and built-in audio systems. The focus is on creating a personalized sanctuary with the finest materials and latest technology.
Guest Bathroom Remodeling Costs
Guest (secondary or kid’s) bathroom remodeling requires a careful balance of durability, style, and budget-consciousness. These spaces need to accommodate various users while maintaining their appearance over time. Whether it’s a powder room for guests or a full bathroom for children or visitors, the design should be both welcoming and practical. Here’s what different investment levels can achieve.
Basic Guest Bathroom
- Labor: $14,000 - $19,000
- Materials: $2,500 - $5,000
- Total: $16,500 - $24,000
A basic guest bathroom remodel provides essential updates while maximizing value. At this level, we focus on durable, low-maintenance materials that look great and withstand frequent use. The package typically includes a new vanity with cultured marble or granite top, ceramic tile flooring, a fresh tub/shower combo with tile surround, and updated fixtures. While keeping costs modest, we ensure proper waterproofing and ventilation to prevent future issues. This approach works well for rental properties or homes where a clean, functional space is the priority.
Mid Range Guest Bathroom
- Labor: $20,000 - $30,000
- Materials: $5,000 - $12,000
- Total: $25,000 - $42,000
Mid-range guest bathroom remodels offer more design flexibility and upgraded finishes. At this tier, we can often modify the layout slightly to improve functionality. Expect a quality vanity with quartz countertop, porcelain tile flooring, a modern shower system with glass doors, and coordinated fixtures in premium finishes. We frequently add features like improved lighting, medicine cabinets with integrated lighting, and accent tiles to create visual interest. This level strikes an excellent balance between style and practicality.
Luxury Guest Bathroom
- Labor: $32,000 - $50,000
- Materials: $13,000 - $30,000
- Total: $45,000 - $80,000
Luxury guest bathroom remodels elevate the space to rival high-end hotel amenities. These projects often include complete layout redesigns to maximize space efficiency. Custom vanities, premium stone surfaces, frameless glass shower enclosures, and designer lighting fixtures are standard. We frequently incorporate touches like built-in storage solutions, heated flooring, and high-end ventilation systems. While guest bathrooms don’t typically require the same level of personalization as master baths, these spaces are designed to impress visitors and maintain consistency with the home’s overall luxury aesthetic.
Living Room Remodeling Costs
- Labor: $10,000 - $40,000
- Materials: $7,000 - $20,000
- Total: $17,000 - $60,000
Living room remodels in the Valley often focus on creating open, airy spaces that complement our indoor-outdoor lifestyle. At this investment level, we can typically update flooring, add or modify lighting, and potentially remove non-load-bearing walls to open up the space. Premium features might include built-in entertainment centers, custom millwork, accent walls, or new sliding doors to outdoor spaces. The wide price range reflects the variety of possible modifications, from simple updates to complete transformations including structural changes and high-end finishes.
Dining Room Remodeling Costs

Dining room remodeling in the Valley homes often involves creating flexible spaces that can accommodate both casual family meals and formal entertaining. Common updates include new flooring, upgraded lighting fixtures, and architectural details like wainscoting or crown molding. We frequently incorporate built-in storage solutions, wine storage, or butler’s pantry features. The investment range varies based on the complexity of architectural details, quality of materials, and whether structural changes are needed to create a more open floor plan.
Bedroom Remodeling Costs
- Labor: $8,000 - $15,000
- Materials: $5,000 - $15,000
- Total: $13,000 - $30,000
Bedroom remodeling focuses on creating serene, comfortable spaces adapted to Arizona’s climate. Typical projects include updating flooring, adding or improving lighting, and installing new windows for better energy efficiency. Custom closet systems, built-in storage solutions, and upgraded electrical systems to accommodate modern technology are common additions. While bedrooms generally require less intensive work than kitchens or bathrooms, careful attention to detail in design and material selection ensures a comfortable retreat that promotes rest and relaxation.
Arizona Specifics
Remodeling in Arizona presents unique considerations that impact both design choices and costs. Our intense summer heat necessitates careful attention to energy efficiency through proper insulation, high-performance windows, and HVAC considerations. Local building codes require specific adaptations for our desert climate, particularly regarding water management and dust control during construction.
Material choices often favor those that perform well in extreme temperatures and intense sunlight. Additionally, the Valley’s hard water conditions influence plumbing fixture selections and installation methods. We also see strong demand for indoor-outdoor living spaces, requiring careful planning for shade structures and climate control transitions. These regional factors are built into our pricing and project planning to ensure long-lasting, climate-appropriate results.
While these costs represent typical ranges in the Phoenix-Scottsdale area, each project is unique. Factors such as design complexity, material choices, and existing conditions can significantly impact the final investment. We encourage homeowners to focus on value and quality, as well-executed remodeling projects typically yield strong returns in our robust real estate market.
