Kitchen Remodel Cost Boise (2026 Planning Ranges)

Homeowners in Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Kuna, Star, Middleton, Nampa, and Caldwell ask us about kitchen remodel cost more than almost any other line item on a remodel budget. This article is part of our Boise Cabinet Cost Guide—the definitive hub for Treasure Valley remodeling costs.

Numbers below are planning ranges from design-build consultations, not advertisements. Your home, layout, and finish level will move you within or beyond these bands.

Use our project estimator for a rough range, then request an in-home visit for written scope.

Most full kitchen remodels we plan in Ada County fall between roughly $45,000 and $120,000+, with layout changes and custom cabinetry at the upper end. Cosmetic refreshes—doors, counters, backsplash—can land lower if plumbing and gas stay put.

Meridian and Eagle kitchens often include larger islands, walk-in pantries, and panel-ready appliances. Kuna and Star homes may have builder-grade layouts worth reconfiguring for open concept living.

Cabinetry commonly represents 30–40% of a full kitchen construction budget. Semi-custom lines balance selection flexibility with lead time; fully custom shops extend design time but fit odd ceiling lines in North End homes.

Quartz and quartzite countertops range widely; waterfall edges and thick mitered builds add fabrication labor. Tile backsplashes, under-cabinet lighting, and recessed cans are frequently underestimated.

Moving the sink, dishwasher, or range requires plumbing and often electrical panel work. Removing a wall may need a beam, engineering, and Ada County plan review.

Open concept requests from Boise Bench homeowners frequently combine kitchen, dining, and living flooring transitions—another cost layer beyond cabinets.

Kitchen remodels typically run 8–16 weeks after permits and materials are released. Long-lead cabinets can add 8–12 weeks to the front of the schedule—order at design lock.

Ada County cities share many permit conventions; Canyon County (Nampa, Middleton, Caldwell) uses different portals. HOA review in Eagle may add design time without changing construction unit costs dramatically.

Lock appliance models before rough-in. Confirm soft-close hardware, crown, and filler details at cabinet sign-off. Hold contingency for drywall and subfloor after demo.
