Kitchen Remodel Cost Calculator
Twin Cities pricing, built from real local jobs.
A kitchen remodel cost calculator is only as good as the data behind it. This one is built from full kitchen renovations we've completed across Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and the surrounding west and south metro. In the Twin Cities, the four biggest drivers of kitchen remodel cost are kitchen size in square feet, cabinet quality tier, scope of work, and your specific neighborhood. A 150 square foot galley kitchen in Richfield with stock cabinets and a quartz counter swap will land in a completely different price range than a 300 square foot open-concept renovation in Edina with custom inset cabinetry, a structural wall removal, and a paneled appliance package.
Labor in the Minneapolis and Saint Paul market has climbed steadily since 2022, and material lead times still push real timelines longer than most homeowners expect. Cabinetry is usually the largest single line item, followed by countertops, appliances, and plumbing or electrical relocation when the layout changes. Permit costs vary by city. Edina and Wayzata typically run higher because of both finish-level expectations and local permitting overhead. South and west suburbs like Bloomington, Plymouth, Maple Grove, and Eagan tend to come in slightly under city core pricing on identical scope.
Use the calculator below to ballpark your project. Pick your kitchen size, choose a finish tier, check the scope items you actually want, and select your city. You'll get a low, mid, and high estimate plus a category breakdown. When you're ready for a real number, request a fixed-price quote and we'll walk your kitchen in person.

How accurate is this kitchen remodel cost calculator?
This estimate gets you within roughly 20 percent of a real Twin Cities project for the scope you select. Final pricing depends on cabinet brand, stone slab selection, appliance package, and any surprises behind the walls. We use it as a starting point, not a contract.
What is included in the Budget, Mid-range, and High-end tiers?
Budget assumes stock cabinetry, laminate or entry quartz counters, and builder-grade fixtures. Mid-range covers semi-custom cabinets, quartz counters, and name-brand appliances. High-end is full custom cabinetry, premium stone, paneled appliances, and designer lighting.
Why do Edina and Wayzata cost more?
Permitting timelines, HOA requirements, and the typical scope of work in those neighborhoods push project costs up. Homeowners there usually want higher finish levels, which compounds the base rate.
Does this include design fees and permits?
The estimate folds in standard permit costs and basic design time for a Twin Cities full-service remodel. It does not include structural engineering stamps, custom millwork drawings, or third-party interior design retainers.
