## FAQ

### How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Nashville?
A mid-range Nashville kitchen remodel runs $35,000–$65,000 in 2026. High-end remodels with custom cabinets and premium appliances run $75,000–$150,000+.

### How long does a kitchen remodel take?
A typical mid-range kitchen takes 6–10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Custom cabinets can extend this if lead times stretch.

### Cabinet refacing vs. replacement?
Refacing saves 30–50% of replacement cost if your existing cabinet boxes are structurally sound and you're keeping the layout. Replace if you're changing the layout or the boxes are damaged.

### Quartz, granite, or butcher block?
Quartz is the most popular pick in Nashville — non-porous, no sealing, durable. Granite is harder and cheaper but needs annual sealing. Butcher block adds warmth but requires more maintenance.

### Does a kitchen remodel pay off at resale?
Mid-range kitchen remodels typically recoup 50–60% of cost at resale, but the bigger effect is speed of sale and competitive offers.
