Most kitchen remodels in the Augusta area land between $15,000 and $75,000+, depending on how much you change. A refresh with paint, new counters and fixtures sits at the low end. A full gut with new cabinets, layout changes and new plumbing or electrical sits at the high end.
Online cost sites put the Augusta average around $20,000 (Homeyou) or $100 to $250 per square foot (HomeGuide). Those averages mix in a lot of small cosmetic jobs, so here is how it breaks down by scope.
| Scope | What's included | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh | Paint, cabinet refinishing, new hardware, sink and faucet, backsplash | $15,000 – $25,000 |
| Mid-range remodel | New stock or semi-custom cabinets, quartz or granite counters, flooring, lighting, appliances | $30,000 – $55,000 |
| Full remodel | Gut to the studs, custom cabinets, layout changes, moved plumbing and electrical, new walls or openings | $60,000 – $100,000+ |
What drives the price
- Cabinets. They are usually the biggest single cost, often around 30% of the project. Stock cabinets cost far less than custom.
- Layout changes. Moving a sink, range or wall means new plumbing, electrical and sometimes structural work.
- Countertops and appliances. The jump from builder-grade to premium adds up fast.
- What's behind the walls. Older Augusta homes can hide outdated wiring, plumbing or water damage that has to be fixed once walls are open.
- Permits and inspections. Plumbing and electrical changes need permits. A licensed contractor pulls them and handles the inspections.
How to get the most for your budget
- Keep the sink, range and fridge where they are if the layout already works.
- Put your money into cabinets and counters, the things you touch every day.
- Set aside 10% for surprises, especially in homes built before 1980.
- Get a detailed, line-item estimate so you can compare apples to apples.
