Most Maryland kitchen remodels cost $75–$150 per square foot. A 150 sq ft kitchen lands around $15,000–$25,000 at mid-range finishes — but kitchens don’t price like other rooms. Here’s why, and how to use the number correctly.
These are planning ranges, not quotes. Every project is different. What you actually pay depends on the size of the space, the condition of what is behind the walls, your material selections, and whether plumbing, electrical, or framing has to move — none of which can be judged from a photo or a phone call. Think2Remodel provides a firm written price only after an on-site consultation where we measure and inspect the space in person. Book a free on-site consultation.

Why Per-Square-Foot Is Only a Starting Point
Unlike flooring, most of a kitchen’s cost is in fixed items — cabinets, countertops, and appliances — that cost about the same whether your kitchen is 90 or 120 square feet. That’s why a small kitchen can actually cost more per square foot than a large one. Use per-square-foot for a ballpark, then price the actual cabinets, counters, and scope.
What’s Included
