The Bismarck Tribune recently featured a news article with the 6 home projects that return the most at resale.
Not surprisingly, kitchen remodels made that list.
One interesting note on this, though, is the highlight of the article says an “average minor kitchen remodel” runs $22,507 with an average resale value added to the home of $18,123. So, the homeowner actually recoups about 80.5% of the cost. In home improvement terms, that is a substantial return on investment. Comparatively, a mid-range backyard patio gives a return of about 48%, a sunroom about 49%, and a bathroom addition about 55%.
What makes this information even MORE interesting is, with Kitchen Refresh, our makeovers typically run just $4,800 to $6,800, but can deliver the look of a high dollar remodel. So, with Kitchen Refresh – you’ll spend considerably LESS than that $22,507 average, yet it’s still perfectly feasible that the average cost recoupment of $18,123 remains the same – meaning you’d actually have a POSITIVE outcome with a Kitchen Refresh remodel, particularly important if you’re looking at selling your home.

Estimate nowA standard Kitchen Refresh focuses on transforming the look of your cabinets efficiently and affordably. It includes:
Replacing all your existing cabinet doors and drawer fronts with brand new, solid, custom-made ones in the style and finish you choose.
Professionally painting your existing cabinet boxes (frames) to perfectly match or complement your new doors and fronts.
Installing new concealed, soft-close hinges for a modern touch and quiet operation.
Adding stylish new cabinet hardware (handles and knobs).
This targeted approach creates a dramatic update without needing to tear out your entire kitchen. While some locations may offer additional services like countertops or backsplashes, the core Refresh is focused on the cabinets themselves.
Additionally, we offer options to replace countertops or backsplashes.
One of our biggest advantages is speed! The on-site installation portion of your Kitchen Refresh is typically completed in just 1 to 5 days, depending on the size and complexity of your kitchen. This is significantly faster than a traditional remodel, which can take weeks or even months, minimizing disruption to your home and routine. The process includes preparation, cabinet box painting, and final installation of your new doors, drawer fronts, and hardware.
The best part? Your kitchen remains functional throught the whole process!
