Published kitchen and bathroom cost examples
These are one provider’s published regional examples, reviewed in October 2026. They are not citywide averages, offers from this website or a promise of what your project will cost.
| Project | Published example | Scope to keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen remodel | $15,000–$60,000 or more | Phoenix describes cabinet-and-counter refreshes at the lower end and full layout/custom-cabinet projects higher |
| Bathroom remodel | $8,000–$30,000 or more | Phoenix relates the range to room size, tile, fixtures, waterproofing and layout changes |

Phoenix is an independent provider, not the operator of this website. The figures do not establish a referral relationship or a quote for your home.
A project may fall outside those examples. Ask a provider to assess the room and give you a written price for the actual work, including what is excluded.
Kitchen budget: refresh or redesign?
For a kitchen remodel, distinguish the cabinet and countertop purchase from the finished-room total. Check removal, installation, appliances, trade work, backsplash and repairs around retained finishes.
If you want to move appliances or change the room’s openings, ask for that option to be priced separately from a plan that keeps the arrangement. That comparison helps you decide whether the extra change matters enough to you. It does not assume that either option is right for every home.
Treat allowances as unfinished selections. An allowance is an amount included for an item that has not been fully chosen. Ask what it covers, how the final cost is calculated and whether extra labor could follow from a different selection.
Bathroom and shower budgets are different
A full bathroom renovation may include the vanity, lighting, floor and room finishes alongside the bathing area. A shower replacement or tub conversion may leave those other items in place. Do not use a full-bathroom range as the price of a shower-only project.
When comparing shower proposals, identify removal, preparation, the complete shower system, plumbing, enclosure and adjacent repairs. If one proposal excludes the finishing work, the two totals do not yet describe the same result.
Compare remodeling quotes side by side
Use this worksheet with the providers you choose. It is a planning checklist, not an estimate calculator, and does not submit or save any information.
| Compare this item | Proposal A | Proposal B |
|---|---|---|
| Exact rooms and work included | Included / excluded? | Included / excluded? |
| Products and quantities | Named or allowance? | Named or allowance? |
| Removal and disposal | Who handles it? | Who handles it? |
| Surface preparation and repairs | Fixed scope or extra? | Fixed scope or extra? |
| Trade work and approvals | Responsibility clear? | Responsibility clear? |
| Condo access, if relevant | Arrangements priced? | Arrangements priced? |
| Payment stages and changes | Written process? | Written process? |
| Completion and corrections | What closes the job? | What closes the job? |
For an excluded item, ask who will arrange it and whether you need a separate price. Keep those costs beside the proposal so you can compare the overall project, not just the largest invoice.
Condo access and work you cannot see yet
Existing conditions can change what is needed after removal. Agree how the contractor will explain a finding, price additional work and obtain your decision. Avoid assuming an unseen problem exists, or that no extra work will ever be needed.
Pompano Beach’s housing plan documents older owner-occupied housing and large multi-unit buildings. Those patterns support asking about retained finishes and shared access; they do not justify adding a standard “Pompano surcharge.” Use the condo checklist for building arrangements.
Payments and changes to the plan
Before hiring, agree the payment stages, how a change is approved and how unfinished or incorrect items will be addressed. Keep product selections, drawings, written changes and receipts together. Verify the contractor and business using the resources in the permit and contractor guide.
Request a Remodeling Quote for your actual room. You can enquire without a final budget. If you do have a budget in mind, discuss what work it should cover rather than treating a published range as a fixed package.
