Custom kitchen remodels with a design-build firm in the Twin Cities typically run from about $40,000 for a refresh-level project inside the existing footprint, $60,000 to $120,000 for a standard remodel with new cabinetry and countertops, and $120,000 to $250,000+ for premium kitchens with structural changes, marble, or paneled appliances. Cost is driven by size, cabinetry style, countertop material, appliance level, and whether walls are coming down. We give a written budget range at the first free consultation.

Custom design-build bathroom projects in the Twin Cities typically run: powder rooms from about $12,000; standard hall baths $25,000 to $50,000; standard primary suites $55,000 to $110,000; and premium primary suites $110,000 to $225,000+ with marble, heated floors, steam shower, and custom paneled storage. These ranges sit above big-box and handyman pricing because we replace old plumbing and electrical in pre-1980 homes, build the vanity in our own shop, and install with our own carpenters — not above premium-luxury benchmark.
