What is a light kitchen remodel?
A light kitchen remodel replaces the surfaces and storage in your kitchen, such as cabinets, countertops, backsplash, hardware and flooring, while the sink, range and walls stay where they are. It's the kind of kitchen remodel Monty's does.
Keeping the layout is what keeps a light remodel faster and more affordable than a full renovation. There's no need to open walls for new supply lines, run new circuits or wait on structural permits, so the work goes straight to the parts of the kitchen you see and use every day. A typical project might replace dated upper and lower cabinets, add a new countertop and tile backsplash, update the pulls and hinges, and finish with new flooring and trim. If your plan does call for moving the sink, adding an island with power, or taking out a wall, that part needs a licensed plumber, electrician or contractor, and we can recommend one and work around their schedule.
What does a small kitchen remodel include?
A small kitchen remodel updates a galley, condo or compact kitchen by replacing the cabinets, countertop, backsplash and hardware in the existing footprint, often with added storage to make the most of limited space.
In a small kitchen, a few changes go a long way. New cabinet doors or full cabinet boxes, a lighter countertop and a tile backsplash can make the room feel larger, and smarter storage does the rest: pull-out shelves, a pantry cabinet, open shelving or organizers inside existing cabinets. Because a small kitchen has less cabinetry and countertop to replace, it sits at the lower end of the price range and usually takes less time on site. Many homeowners also fix the small things that make a compact kitchen frustrating to use, like doors that won't close, drawers that stick, loose hardware or worn flooring in front of the sink. The result is a kitchen that works better, without changing where anything is.
Does Monty's do kitchen cabinet installation?
Yes. Kitchen cabinet installation is the center of most Monty's kitchen remodels, from replacing a single run of uppers to installing a full set of new cabinets in the same layout.
We set new cabinets level, secure them to the wall studs, and fit the fillers, crown molding and toe kicks so the finished run looks built in. Cabinet installation often comes with related work we handle on the same job: removing the old cabinets, repairing the drywall behind them, installing new hardware, and adding storage inside, such as pull-outs and organizers. If you're keeping your cabinet boxes, we can also replace doors and drawer fronts or update the hardware on its own. New cabinets are usually the longest lead-time item in a kitchen remodel, so we schedule installation once they've arrived rather than leaving your kitchen half finished while you wait.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost with Monty's?
Most Monty's kitchen remodels cost $3,000 to $10,000 for a standard-size kitchen, based on our cost estimator. Where your project lands in that range depends on the scope, the size of the kitchen and the countertop material.
At the low end are hardware updates and smaller jobs in a galley kitchen. In the middle are new countertops and a backsplash with updated hardware. At the high end are new cabinets and countertops together in a standard or open-concept kitchen, especially with quartz or granite counters, which cost more than laminate or butcher block. Large and open-concept kitchens can run above the range because there's more cabinetry and countertop to replace. Every project starts with a free walkthrough, after which we send a written, line-item quote, so you can see exactly what each part of the job costs and adjust the scope before any work starts.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
A light kitchen remodel with Monty's usually takes 24 to 48 hours of work on site, and two to four weeks from start to finish once materials are ordered.
Most of that calendar time is waiting on materials rather than work in your kitchen. Cabinets and countertops are often made or cut to order, so we schedule the job once they're on hand instead of leaving your kitchen torn apart while you wait. A typical sequence is removal of the old cabinets or counters, drywall repair, cabinet installation, countertop installation, then backsplash, hardware, flooring and trim. Smaller projects, such as a backsplash and hardware update, can be done in a day or two. Your quote lists the expected days on site, and we keep you updated if anything changes once the old cabinets come off and we can see what's behind them.
