Your Complete Kitchen Remodel Guide: Design, Cost & Tips

Thinking about remodeling your kitchen? Whether you’re looking to improve functionality, refresh outdated finishes, or increase home value, this guide walks you through everything you need to know. As one of the most important spaces in your home, your kitchen deserves thoughtful design, quality materials, and expert craftsmanship. That’s exactly what we deliver at Urban Design & Remodel.

How to Plan a Kitchen Remodel

Define Your Goals

A successful kitchen remodel starts with planning. Begin by identifying what matters most—more space, modern style, better lighting, or improved layout. Once you have your goals in mind, it’s time to determine a budget.

Set a Realistic Budget

In Utah, kitchen remodels typically range from $15,000 for smaller upgrades to over $50,000 for full-scale custom renovations. Knowing your range early helps us build a realistic plan that fits your needs.

Choose a Functional Layout

Next, we help you select a layout that suits your lifestyle. Popular configurations include L-shaped kitchens, galley-style layouts, U-shaped designs, and open-concept spaces with islands. Each has unique advantages for flow, storage, and cooking efficiency. Our team works with you to design a kitchen that looks great—and works even better.

Materials That Make the Difference

Cabinet Styles

For cabinets, we offer shaker-style, slab, or fully custom designs. We’ll help you choose the look and storage style that complements your home.

Countertop Options

Countertop options include quartz, granite, butcher block, and more. We guide you through the pros and cons of each so you can make informed decisions.

Durable Flooring

Flooring materials such as tile, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), and engineered hardwood are all available to match your style and stand up to daily wear.

Kitchen Remodel Timeline

Most kitchen remodels follow a similar timeline. After design approvals and permits, demolition and rough work begin. Cabinet installation, surfaces, lighting, and finish work follow over the course of 6 to 12 weeks, depending on project size. We’ll provide you with a clear schedule and frequent updates to keep everything on track.

What Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost?

Curious about cost? Here’s a general idea:

• Smaller remodels: $15,000–$25,000

• Mid-range remodels: $30,000–$45,000

• High-end/custom: $50,000+

We offer transparent quotes and honest recommendations so there are no surprises.
