Kitchen Remodeling in Las Vegas

Las Vegas, Nevada · Updated October 2026 · Every figure from published sources — nothing made up

Whether your kitchen just looks tired or you're ready to tear it down to the studs and start over, the right first step is the same: a licensed contractor walking your actual kitchen and pricing the actual work. Tell us what you're planning, and we'll match you with a licensed Las Vegas kitchen contractor for a free in-home estimate — no phone auction, no obligation.

What we can match you for

• Cabinet replacement, refacing, or professional cabinet painting
• New countertops, backsplash, sink, and faucet
• Full kitchen remodels that keep the existing layout
• Complete gut remodels with layout changes — moved walls, relocated plumbing, new islands
• Flooring, lighting, and appliance updates as part of a larger project
• Accessibility-minded updates, like wider clearances and easier-to-reach storage

What it typically costs

According to Angi's 2026 cost data, a kitchen remodel averages $26,988, with a typical range of $14,592–$41,616. Angi breaks the work into three tiers, and knowing your tier is the fastest way to a realistic budget:

• Minor refresh — $10,000–$20,000 (Angi). Same layout, surface-level updates: cabinets painted or refaced, new counters on existing boxes, new sink and hardware, fresh paint.
• Major remodel — $20,000–$65,000 (Angi). New cabinets and countertops, new flooring and appliances, with the sink and stove staying roughly where they are.
• Complete gut — $65,000–$130,000+ (Angi). Down to the studs: layout redesigned, plumbing and electrical relocated, custom or premium finishes.

Cabinets are usually the largest single line in the budget, which is why cabinet painting is such a popular middle path — published anchors for professional cabinet painting run $3,000–$5,000+ (Rise and Prime Painting), a fraction of replacement cost when your existing boxes are solid.

How it works

1. Tell us about your kitchen. Fill out the short form — whether you're thinking refresh or full remodel, and when you'd like to start.
2. We call to confirm and book. We'll call to go over your plans, confirm the details, and schedule a free in-home visit at a time that suits you.
3. The contractor visits and quotes in writing. Your matched contractor measures your kitchen, checks the cabinets, plumbing, and electrical, talks through material choices, and provides a written quote. You decide — there is no obligation.

Las Vegas specifics

• Permits follow the plumbing and electrical. A refresh that moves nothing is mostly cosmetic. Relocating plumbing, gas, or electrical — or removing walls — requires permits from the City of Las Vegas or Clark County, depending on your address, plus inspections. Your contractor pulls them.
• HOA review is rare for kitchens, but not never. Interior work in master-planned communities like Summerlin is usually exempt — unless the project touches something visible from outside, like a new window or vent. Worth a quick check before work starts.
• Keep materials out of the hot garage. Las Vegas garages in summer reach temperatures that warp cabinet doors and ruin adhesives and finishes. Good local crews stage materials inside the home and let wood products acclimate before installation.
• Hard water is a kitchen issue here. If your remodel includes a sink, dishwasher, or water lines, it's smart to have the supply valves and lines inspected — and often replaced — while everything is open. Las Vegas water is hard on them, and it's far cheaper now than as a separate plumbing call later.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Las Vegas? According to Angi's 2026 cost data, the average kitchen remodel costs $26,988, with a typical range of $14,592–$41,616. In practical terms: a minor refresh runs $10,000–$20,000, a major remodel $20,000–$65,000, and a complete gut remodel $65,000–$130,000 or more.

How long does a kitchen remodel take? Most take 4–8 weeks of construction, per Modernize's published data. Refreshes can finish in two to three weeks; gut remodels with layout changes, permits, and custom cabinetry run longer. Permit inspections and cabinet lead times are the two most common schedule extenders.

What is the most expensive part of a kitchen remodel? Cabinets, usually — often a third or more of a major remodel's budget. If your cabinet boxes are solid and the layout works, painting or refacing them ($3,000–$5,000+ for professional cabinet painting, per Rise and Prime Painting's published anchors) is the single biggest saving available.

Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel? If you're moving plumbing, gas, or electrical, or removing walls — yes, from the City of Las Vegas or Clark County depending on your address, and your contractor should pull it. Surface-level work like paint, cabinet refinishing, or counters on the same footprint generally doesn't require one.

Can I live in my home during the remodel? Usually, yes. Most homeowners set up a small temporary kitchen — microwave, coffee maker, paper plates — in another room. You'll be without a sink and stove for part of the project, but a full move-out is rarely necessary for a kitchen-only job.
