Cabinetry, countertops, and labor for plumbing and electrical work account for the largest share of kitchen remodel costs. Custom cabinetry alone can represent 30 to 40 percent of the total budget, followed by countertop fabrication and installation, then skilled trade labor for moving gas lines, water supply, and electrical circuits. Layout changes that require relocating plumbing or load-bearing walls add structural engineering fees and additional permit costs.
