How Much Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Spokane? A Realistic Guide for Homeowners

June 7, 2025

Kitchen remodels are one of the most popular home improvement projects in Spokane and North Idaho—and for good reason. Your kitchen is the heart of your home. It’s where families gather, coffee is brewed, meals are made, and memories are built. So when it stops working for your lifestyle, it makes sense to consider an upgrade.



But let’s talk about the question every homeowner asks first:

How much is this going to cost me?

So here’s what you need to know about kitchen remodeling costs in the Spokane area.

Kitchen Remodel Costs: What to Expect in Spokane & North Idaho

There’s no one-size-fits-all price when it comes to kitchen remodels. Most projects in our region fall somewhere between $32,000 and $100,000+, depending on scope, material selections, and layout changes.


Yes, that’s a big range—and here’s why:

  • Material choices matter. Flooring can cost $3/sq ft for basic LVP or $15+/sq ft for reclaimed hardwood. Countertops might range from $40/sq ft for budget-friendly laminate to $120+/sq ft for high-end quartz or granite. Cabinets can be stock, semi-custom, or full custom—each with their own price tiers.
  • Layout changes drive up cost. Moving walls, plumbing, or electrical systems significantly increases the price.
  • Finish level varies. A mid-range kitchen with solid surfaces and prefabricated cabinets looks very different from a luxury kitchen with custom millwork, smart appliances, and statement lighting.

If someone gives you a single number without asking questions, they’re guessing. And guessing is how budgets get blown.
