★ Start Your Renovation PlanA kitchen remodel in Minneapolis typically runs $40,000–$120,000 depending on scope, layout changes, and material tier. Full gut rebuilds with structural changes run higher. Targeted refreshes — new cabinetry and countertops without moving plumbing or walls — come in at the lower end.
| Scope | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Cabinet repaint or reface + new hardware | $8k – $18k |
| New cabinetry + countertops, no layout change | $28k – $55k |
| Full gut rebuild — new layout, plumbing, electrical | $55k – $90k |
| Premium full gut — custom cabinetry, quartz, appliances | $90k – $140k+ |
| Commercial kitchen renovation | $80k – $250k+ |
Key cost drivers: layout changes requiring plumbing relocation, load-bearing wall removal, appliance tier, and cabinet construction quality (stock vs. semi-custom vs. custom). Our Highland Hills kitchen rebuild involved full gut, new quartz island, marble backsplash, double wall ovens, and hardwood refinish — typical of a full-scope project.
Bathroom remodels in Minneapolis run $18,000–$45,000 for a full gut rebuild of a standard full bath. Primary suite bathrooms with tile showers, soaking tubs, and double vanities run $35,000–$65,000. Powder bath refreshes start at $8,000.
| Scope | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Powder bath refresh — fixtures, vanity, paint | $8k – $16k |
| Full bath gut rebuild — tub/shower, tile, vanity | $18k – $35k |
| Primary suite full remodel — walk-in shower, soaking tub | $35k – $65k |
