Can I keep my existing cabinets?

We install new cabinets rather than dressing up old ones. New boxes, doors, and hardware cost surprisingly close to a cosmetic redo, and the result is a kitchen we can stand behind for decades.

Do you handle countertops too?

Granite countertop installation is part of the same job, so there is one crew and one schedule.

What a kitchen remodel costs in Mechanicsville

Dave TitusOwner, Advanced Kitchen ConceptsUpdated August 2026 · 9 minute read

Most homeowners asking this question want one number. The honest answer is a range, and where you land inside it comes down to three things: the size of the room, the cabinet line you choose, and whether the layout moves.

The three things that set the price

Room size sets the cabinet count, and cabinets are the largest line on almost every kitchen invoice. A galley kitchen in a Mechanicsville rancher and an open-plan kitchen with an island are different orders of magnitude before anyone picks a finish.

The cabinet line matters next. Our catalog runs from standard wood doors through custom wood to modern foil and Parapan, and the spread between the entry and the top of the range is significant. Over 100 design, style, and finishing combinations means there is usually a way to hit a number you are comfortable with.

Moving the layout is the third lever, and the one people underestimate. Relocating a sink means plumbing. Moving a range means gas or electrical, and often venting. None of it is exotic work, but it adds trades and days.

We would rather tell you a full tear-down is the wrong spend for your house than sell you one.

Three paths, three ranges

Rather than average everything into one figure, it helps to think in terms of which project you are actually doing.

01Counters and hardwareThe cabinets stay. New granite counters, sink, and hardware change how the kitchen reads without opening a single wall.

02New cabinets, same footprintEverything comes out, new cabinets and countertops go in where the old ones were. No plumbing or electrical relocation, so the schedule stays tight.

03Full gut renovationBack to studs, layout free to change, walls open if that is what the space needs. As a full-fledged remodeler this is where we strip a room down and rebuild it around how you actually live.
