Kitchen Renovation Costs in New Orleans

Kitchen remodeling in the New Orleans area averages $15,600 to $21,400, with projects ranging from $7,000 for basic updates to $35,000+ for full custom renovations. Louisiana construction costs run approximately 14% below the national average.

Project Type Cost Range What Is Included
Cosmetic refresh $5,000 – $10,000 New paint, hardware, fixtures, backsplash
Standard remodel $10,000 – $20,000 New countertops, cabinet refacing, flooring, appliances
Full renovation $20,000 – $35,000 New cabinets, countertops, layout changes, plumbing, electrical
High-end custom $35,000 – $50,000+ Custom cabinetry, granite/quartz, premium appliances, island, lighting

Cabinets typically account for 30% of the total kitchen remodel cost. Stock cabinets cost significantly less than custom builds. Quartz and granite countertops run $60 to $110 per square foot installed depending on slab selection, edge profile, and cutouts.

What We Renovate

Cabinets

We install stock, semi-custom, and custom cabinetry. For budget-friendly updates, cabinet refacing (new doors and drawer fronts on existing boxes) saves 40-50% versus full replacement while giving your kitchen a completely new look.

Countertops

We install quartz, granite, marble, butcher block, and solid surface countertops. Quartz is the most popular choice for New Orleans kitchens because it is non-porous (resists mold in humid climates), does not require sealing, and is available in a wide range of colors and patterns.

Layout Changes

Many older New Orleans homes have closed-off galley or L-shaped kitchens. We open walls, add islands, relocate sinks and appliances, and create open-concept layouts that connect the kitchen to living and dining areas.

Plumbing and Electrical

We handle all rough-in work including sink relocation, dishwasher hookups, garbage disposal installation, dedicated circuits for appliances, under-cabinet and recessed lighting, and outlet additions to meet current code requirements.

Flooring

We install tile, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), hardwood, and engineered wood flooring. For New Orleans kitchens, porcelain tile and LVP are the most practical choices due to their water resistance and durability in humid conditions.

Our Kitchen Renovation Process

  1. Consultation where we visit your home, discuss your goals and budget, and assess the existing kitchen layout and infrastructure.
  2. Design and material selection including cabinet style, countertop material, flooring, fixtures, and hardware.
  3. Demolition with dust barriers and floor protection throughout your home.
  4. Rough-in for any plumbing, electrical, or structural changes.
  5. Cabinet installation followed by countertop templating and fabrication.
  6. Countertop, backsplash, and flooring installation.
  7. Fixtures, appliances, hardware, and paint.
  8. Final walkthrough to verify everything works and meets your expectations.

A standard kitchen renovation takes 4 to 8 weeks. Projects with custom cabinetry add 2 to 4 weeks for fabrication lead time.

Frequently Asked Questions: Kitchen Renovation in New Orleans

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in New Orleans?

The average kitchen remodel in New Orleans costs $15,600 to $21,400. Basic updates run $5,000 to $10,000, standard remodels $10,000 to $20,000, and full custom renovations $35,000 to $50,000+.

How long does a kitchen renovation take?

Standard renovations take 4 to 8 weeks. Custom cabinetry adds 2 to 4 weeks for fabrication. We provide a timeline estimate during consultation.

Can I use my kitchen during the renovation?

Not fully. During demolition and rough-in phases, the kitchen is not usable. We recommend setting up a temporary kitchen area with a microwave, hot plate, and cooler in another room.

What is the best countertop material for New Orleans kitchens?

Quartz is the top choice because it is non-porous (resists mold in humid climates), requires no sealing, and is extremely durable. Granite is a close second but requires annual sealing.

Should I renovate my kitchen before selling?

Kitchen remodels offer 60-80% ROI and are the number one feature buyers evaluate. In the New Orleans market, an updated kitchen consistently helps homes sell faster.
