What a $100,000 Kitchen Remodel Includes in Lake Country
One of the first questions we hear is, “What will my kitchen actually cost?” The honest answer depends on your space and the choices you make. To make it easier to picture, here is a recent estimate for a small Lake Country kitchen, updated to current pricing and broken down by category.

What you see is only part of the picture
Roughly two-thirds of a kitchen remodel is what makes the new kitchen work and last: wiring brought up to code, plumbing, insulation, a protected and clean home during construction, and one team managing every trade. It’s also the part that’s easiest to underestimate when comparing numbers.
Why design-build pricing looks the way it does
With design-build, one team carries your project from the first conversation through 3D design, selections, construction and the final walkthrough. That includes the planning that prevents surprises later, trade partners we know and trust, weekly updates, and a finished project we stand behind. When two numbers look far apart, it’s worth asking what each one includes.
Is Platinum the right fit for you?
We’re a good fit for homeowners who want one team responsible for the whole project, from design through the final walkthrough, and who value planning and craftsmanship as much as the finished look.
We may not be the right fit if the priority is the lowest possible price, or if you’d like to handle parts of the project yourself, such as demolition or sourcing materials. Our pricing reflects a complete scope managed by our team, and that’s how we’re able to stand behind the finished work. If that’s not what you’re looking for, we’re always glad to point you in a good direction.
