Short answer

Cabinet-and-countertop refresh: $50K-$85K. Mid-tier kitchen with new cabinetry, island, appliance package, and one-wall move: $95K-$180K. High-end kitchen with custom millwork, stone slab, Sub-Zero/Miele package, and structural beam for open plan: $190K-$385K. Gas-line sign-off and a DOB Alt-2 typically add $8K-$18K in soft costs alone.
