We have renovated 8 kitchens over the years. No walk through estimates. At this point I can give an estimate by looking and knowing what someone wants for cabinets, floors, appliances.
Our last renovation with complete gutting was $78,000 which also included flooring in the laundry and adjoining powder room with new cherry vanity. Cherry wood cabinets with large crown moulding $25,000, construction $25,000 and appliances $28,000. New wiring plumbing and lighting fixtures included.
My best part of the kitchen is the warming drawer, induction cooktop, Sub-Zero fridge and double oven. Wine cooler is also a nice addition.
It's only money and I've never seen anyone take it with them. Well, maybe the guy wo was buried in his Corvette.

Can never understand the fascination of dumping huge sums of money into kitchens. Is that not where the help is placed to do the cooking? Same with bathrooms that are larger than many bedrooms. After all no matter how much one spends, the toilet still flushes the same way.
