Edina kitchen and bathroom remodeling costs in 2026: kitchen refresh $30K–$65K, gut remodel $75K–$150K+, bathroom remodel $25K–$70K. What to expect remodeling a Country Club Tudor, mid-century rambler, or 1980s colonial in one of the Twin Cities' highest-value suburbs.
Edina carries one of the highest median home values in the Twin Cities metro at around $615,000, and many homes in the Country Club, Indian Hills, and Interlachen neighborhoods trade well above $1 million. That real estate context shapes every remodeling conversation: a kitchen or bathroom remodel in Edina is a significant investment in a high-value asset, and the finish expectations match.
The practical effect is that Edina remodels start where many suburban remodels peak. A kitchen refresh that runs $16,000 to $30,000 in Bloomington or $20,000 to $40,000 in Plymouth typically costs $30,000 to $65,000 in Edina because the baseline for materials and finishes is higher. Quartzite and marble countertops, custom inset cabinetry, and panel-ready appliances are standard requests, not upgrades.
The most common Edina kitchen remodel involves a Country Club Tudor, a Morningside mid-century rambler, or a 1980s colonial where the kitchen was either designed as a closed room or was last updated in the 1990s. The renovation goal is almost always to open the layout to an adjacent living or dining space, modernize the finishes, and bring the kitchen up to a level that matches the rest of the home's value.
Semi-custom cabinets from manufacturers like Dura Supreme, Medallion, or KraftMaid Select give Edina homeowners substantial flexibility in door style, finish, and interior organization without the lead times of full custom. A semi-custom kitchen with quartzite countertops, a furniture-style island, high-end appliances, and new hardwood or tile flooring runs $75,000 to $110,000 depending on kitchen size and scope. This is the most common range for Edina kitchen remodels that do not involve structural changes.
Custom cabinetry from local fabricators or national brands lets an Edina kitchen incorporate unusual dimensions, integrated appliance panels, and details like fluted columns, carved feet, and in-cabinet lighting that semi-custom cannot match. Full custom kitchens in Edina run $110,000 to $150,000 and up, depending on the square footage and the complexity of the layout. These projects often involve structural work to open the kitchen to a family room or create a larger island footprint.
Country Club Tudors and mid-century ramblers both have closed kitchen layouts that do not match how people use kitchens today. Opening a wall between a kitchen and a dining room adds $8,000 to $20,000 to a remodel budget depending on whether the wall is load-bearing. A load-bearing wall removal requires a structural engineer and a beam installation, which adds cost but is a routine project. We handle this frequently in Edina homes.
Edina bathroom remodels follow the same pattern as kitchens: the baseline for materials is higher, and the finish expectations match the home value. A primary bath in an Edina home typically involves a curbless shower, a freestanding soaking tub or a deep built-in, a double-sink vanity with custom cabinetry, heated floors, and large-format porcelain or natural stone tile.
A full primary bath rebuild with a curbless shower, soaking tub, double-sink vanity, heated floors, and high-end tile runs $40,000 to $70,000 in Edina. Projects at the lower end keep the existing plumbing rough-in locations; projects at the upper end involve relocating plumbing, expanding the room footprint, or adding radiant heat under a large-format stone floor.
A secondary bath or hall bath remodel with new tile, a new vanity, updated fixtures, and a tub-surround replacement runs $18,000 to $35,000. Edina homeowners frequently update secondary baths alongside a primary bath remodel to bring the whole home up to a consistent finish level.
Edina building permits are handled by the city's Building Inspections division. Permit fees in Edina are calculated as a percentage of project valuation and run higher than Minneapolis permit fees. For a $100,000 kitchen remodel, expect permit costs of $1,500 to $2,500. Work involving plumbing, electrical, structural changes, or project valuations over $1,000 requires a permit. The Edina Building Inspections page has the current fee schedule and online application.
Plan review typically takes 5 to 10 business days for a standard kitchen or bath remodel. Projects in the Country Club neighborhood may be subject to additional review if the home is on the Heritage Preservation Commission's inventory, though most interior remodels proceed without HPC involvement.
A kitchen refresh (no layout changes, new countertops and cabinet paint) takes 3 to 5 weeks from permit approval. A full gut remodel with a semi-custom cabinet order takes 10 to 16 weeks: about 2 weeks of demolition and rough-in, 6 to 10 weeks of cabinet lead time, then 3 to 4 weeks of installation and finish work. Full custom cabinetry can add 4 to 8 weeks of lead time.
Bathroom remodels without a room expansion take 3 to 6 weeks. A primary bath with a curbless shower and heated floors typically takes 4 to 6 weeks once the permit is in hand.
Edina has an active real estate market, and kitchen and bathroom quality matters at resale. In the Country Club and Indian Hills neighborhoods, an outdated kitchen in an otherwise well-maintained home can suppress an offer by $50,000 to $100,000. A well-executed remodel that brings the kitchen and baths up to neighborhood standard typically adds more value than it costs in this price range, which is different from lower-priced metro markets where remodel ROI is harder to capture.
The highest-ROI projects in Edina are primary bath updates that add a curbless shower, and kitchen remodels that open the floor plan and add a functional island. Projects that spend heavily on appliances alone without updating cabinets or layout do not hold their value as well.
