We combine structural precision with refined design to create kitchens that improve your daily workflow, increase your home's value, and reflect your personal vision for the space.
With extensive experience serving homeowners throughout Lawrenceville, Gwinnett County, and the greater Atlanta metro area, our team understands the unique challenges of remodeling in established neighborhoods : from navigating local permit requirements to working within older home frameworks. We bring both the technical expertise of licensed engineers and the craft of skilled builders to every project, ensuring that your kitchen renovation is built to last and designed with care.
What Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Lawrenceville?
One of the first questions homeowners ask is about budget, and we believe in providing honest, upfront ranges so you can plan accordingly. In Lawrenceville and throughout Gwinnett County, kitchen remodeling costs typically fall within $18,000 to $25,000 for most mid-level projects, though the full spectrum ranges from approximately $8,000 to $40,000+ depending on the scope, materials, and structural changes involved.
Here's how projects typically break down by investment level:
Cosmetic Refresh: $10,000 – $20,000
This range covers projects where the existing layout stays intact, and you're focused on updating finishes : cabinet refacing or painting, new hardware, countertop replacement, updated lighting fixtures, fresh backsplash tile, and new appliances. These projects generally take 2-4 weeks and deliver a dramatically refreshed look without the complexity of layout changes or structural work.
Mid-Range Full Remodel: $20,000 – $50,000
This is the most common scope we see in Lawrenceville, and it includes semi-custom cabinets, quality countertops (quartz or granite), new flooring throughout the kitchen, upgraded appliances, recessed lighting, and modest layout adjustments such as relocating a sink or adding an island. These projects typically require 6-10 weeks and involve permit coordination, electrical and plumbing rough-ins, and inspections.
High-End Custom Remodel: $50,000+
Premium projects involve custom cabinetry built to your exact specifications, luxury countertop materials, structural changes like removing walls or vaulting ceilings, high-end appliances and fixtures, smart home integration, and extensive finish upgrades. These projects require 10-14 weeks or longer and demand meticulous engineering, design coordination, and craftsmanship at every phase.
What Drives Your Kitchen Remodel Cost
Your budget allocates across several core categories, and understanding these components helps you prioritize decisions and avoid surprises:
- Cabinets: $5,000 – $25,000 (typically 25-30% of your total budget). Stock cabinets are the most economical, semi-custom offers better sizing flexibility and finish options, and full custom cabinetry delivers exact dimensions and premium materials.
- Countertops: $2,000 – $10,000. Laminate is budget-friendly, quartz and granite are mid-range workhorses, and marble or quartzite are premium choices.
- Appliances: $3,000 – $15,000. Standard appliances are functional and reliable, while professional-grade ranges, built-in refrigerators, and panel-ready dishwashers drive costs higher.
- Flooring: $2,500 – $8,000. Options range from luxury vinyl plank to engineered hardwood to natural stone tile.
- Lighting: $1,000 – $5,000. Recessed lighting, under-cabinet LED strips, pendant fixtures, and dimmer controls enhance both function and ambiance.
- Plumbing & Electrical: $3,000 – $10,000. Moving gas lines, relocating sinks or dishwashers, upgrading electrical panels, and adding dedicated circuits for appliances all affect this line item.
- Labor, Permits & Project Management: $5,000 – $20,000. This covers skilled tradespeople, inspections, debris removal, site protection, and our engineering-led coordination.
We also recommend building a 10-15% contingency into your budget for unforeseen conditions : older homes in Lawrenceville often reveal plumbing updates, subfloor repairs, or outdated electrical that needs addressing once walls are opened.
How Long Does a Kitchen Remodel Take?
Timeline depends on scope, but most projects follow predictable phases once you've finalized your design and selections:
Design & Selection Phase: 2-4 weeks
This is where we work with you to lock in your layout, cabinetry style and finish, countertop material, appliance specifications, tile choices, lighting plan, and hardware. Decisions made here prevent delays later : indecision or last-minute changes during construction cause the most schedule disruption.
Ordering & Lead Times: 4-8 weeks
Custom and semi-custom cabinets typically require 6-8 weeks from order to delivery. Appliances, specialty tile, and custom countertops also have lead times. We place orders early and coordinate delivery timing so materials arrive when needed, not before you're ready or after the crew is waiting.
Construction Phase: 3-10 weeks
Once materials are confirmed and permits are secured, the build sequence unfolds in stages:
- Demo & Framing Adjustments: 2-3 days to remove old cabinets, countertops, and flooring, plus any structural modifications like opening walls or reinforcing floors for heavy stone.
- Rough-Ins & Inspections: 1-2 weeks for plumbing, electrical, and gas line work, followed by inspections before closing walls.
- Drywall, Mud, Paint: 1 week to patch, texture, prime, and paint walls and ceilings.
- Flooring Installation: 2-4 days depending on material and square footage.
- Cabinet Installation: 2-3 days to set cabinets, level them, and secure them properly to walls and floors.
- Countertop Templating & Installation: Countertop fabricators typically template after cabinets are installed, then return 1-2 weeks later for final installation.
- Tile Backsplash: 2-3 days for setting tile, grouting, and sealing.
- Trim-Out & Final Fixtures: 3-5 days to install appliances, plumbing fixtures, light fixtures, hardware, and complete punch-list items.
Total active construction time typically runs 6-10 weeks for most mid-range remodels. Smaller cosmetic updates may complete in 3-4 weeks, while extensive custom builds may extend to 12-14 weeks.
Our Design-Build Process
Mosier Reisom operates as an engineering-led design-build firm, which means one accountable team handles your project from concept through completion : no handoffs between separate designers, engineers, and builders that create gaps, miscommunication, and change orders.
Initial Consultation & Site Assessment
We begin with a thorough walkthrough of your existing kitchen to understand your goals, evaluate structural realities, and discuss budget and timeline. We measure the space, photograph existing conditions, and identify any constraints like load-bearing walls, plumbing locations, or electrical panel capacity.
Design Development & Engineering
Our team develops layout options that balance your vision with structural feasibility and building code requirements. We coordinate cabinet dimensions with appliance specs, plan electrical circuits and outlet locations, design lighting for task and ambient needs, and integrate plumbing and ventilation routing. Because we engineer our own projects, we catch issues early : before they become expensive surprises during construction.
Transparent Budgeting & Selections
We provide itemized budget breakdowns so you understand where costs allocate and can make informed trade-offs. We guide you through selections with clear timelines : cabinets, countertops, tile, flooring, fixtures, and appliances all locked in before construction begins to prevent delays and budget creep.
Permit Coordination
We handle all permit applications and inspections required by Gwinnett County. Projects involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes require permits, and we schedule inspections at the appropriate construction milestones to keep your project moving without delays.
Phased Construction & Quality Control
Our project managers coordinate trades, maintain a clean and protected job site, and conduct daily quality checks to ensure work meets our standards and your expectations. We provide weekly progress updates and flag any decisions needed from you before they become critical path issues.
Final Walkthrough & Warranty
Before we consider a project complete, we conduct a detailed walkthrough with you to address any punch-list items and ensure every detail meets your satisfaction. We stand behind our work with warranty coverage on both our labor and the materials we install.
