Kitchen Remodeling in Minnesota: Costs, Timelines, and What to Expect
A kitchen remodel is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your home outside of bathroom remodels and home additions— but it’s also one of the biggest investments. For Minnesota homeowners, understanding costs, timelines, and what goes into the process helps set realistic expectations and avoid surprises.
Average Kitchen Remodel Costs in Minnesota
Kitchen remodeling costs vary depending on scope, materials, and layout changes. According to national and regional data:
Minor kitchen remodel: $25,000–$40,000
Mid-range kitchen remodel: $45,000–$75,000
Major or luxury remodel: $80,000+
Factors that affect cost include cabinetry quality, countertop materials, appliance upgrades, plumbing or electrical changes, and structural modifications.
Typical Kitchen Remodel Timeline
Most kitchen remodels follow a general timeline:
Planning & Design: 3–6 weeks
Permits & Ordering Materials: 2–4 weeks
Construction Phase: 6–10 weeks
Total time from start to finish is usually 8–14 weeks, depending on material availability and complexity. Project timelines are incredibly dependent on the speed that permit approvals come back, your individual responses to us as a contractor, and delivery timelines with outside sources to get your materials.
What to Expect During Construction
Homeowners should expect:
Temporary loss of kitchen use - yes, we do tend to demolish before we put it back together. This means you may need to adjust & have a secondary plan of action for using your kitchen.
Increased noise and foot traffic
Scheduled inspections - these come outside of AOS Home Solutions. The City Members are likely to come do an inspection to ensure the project is up to code.
Regular communication with the contractor - there are a lot of moving parts; and we like to stay in contact with you as those updates happen.
Working with a contractor who provides clear timelines and updates helps reduce stress during the process.
