Use national data as orientation
Angi’s 2026 data reports a national average professional kitchen remodel around $26,990, with many projects between about $14,590 and $41,620. Lancaster County bids depend on scope, materials, labor, and existing conditions.
Cabinets and layout are major levers
Keeping serviceable cabinets or the existing footprint can preserve budget. Replacing cabinetry or moving plumbing, gas, electrical, walls, and appliances can raise both cost and schedule.
Finish levels create large differences
Countertops, cabinetry, appliances, flooring, tile, hardware, lighting, and plumbing fixtures can move from modest to luxury quickly. Make allowances explicit.
Plan for infrastructure
Older kitchens may need electrical upgrades, plumbing changes, subfloor work, ventilation changes, or wall repairs. Those items deserve contingency rather than surprise.
