Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling

Kitchen remodel costs in the Burlington, Vermont area vary widely based on scope, materials, and the existing kitchen's condition. A cosmetic kitchen update — cabinet refacing, new countertops, backsplash tile, and appliances — typically ranges from $15,000 to $35,000. A mid-range kitchen remodel with new cabinets, quartz countertops, tile floor, new fixtures, and updated lighting typically ranges from $35,000 to $75,000. A high-end full gut remodel with custom cabinetry, premium countertops, tile work, and appliances can exceed $100,000. Pro-Tech provides written, itemized estimates with no vague numbers so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Bathroom remodel costs in Vermont typically range from $8,000 to $30,000 for a standard bathroom remodel and $20,000 to $60,000 for a primary bathroom with a custom walk-in shower, heated tile floor, and high-end fixtures. Key cost drivers are tile selection, fixture quality, whether plumbing is relocated, and the condition of the existing substrate (wet areas with water damage behind old tile require more prep work). Pro-Tech provides detailed written estimates that break out materials and labor so you understand exactly where the cost is going.

A standard bathroom remodel — new tile floor, updated vanity and toilet, fresh paint, and fixture replacement — typically takes 1–2 weeks. A full bath gut with custom walk-in shower takes 2–4 weeks. A partial kitchen update takes 1–2 weeks. A full kitchen remodel with cabinet replacement, countertops, tile backsplash, and appliances typically takes 3–6 weeks depending on cabinet and countertop lead times. Material lead times are a significant factor in kitchen projects specifically — custom cabinets can take 4–8 weeks to arrive. Pro-Tech factors these lead times into the written project schedule so there are no surprises.

In Vermont, kitchen and bathroom remodels that involve structural changes, electrical panel upgrades, or plumbing modifications — particularly moving drain or supply lines — require permits. A cosmetic remodel that does not move any plumbing, change the electrical service, or alter structural elements typically does not require a permit. Pro-Tech assesses permit requirements based on the specific scope of each project. In Burlington and Chittenden County specifically, we are familiar with the permit process and timelines. We handle all permit applications and do not begin permit-required work until approvals are in hand.
