Kitchen Remodel Cost by Scope (Las Vegas)
A Las Vegas kitchen remodel runs $19,300 to $28,900 for a mid-range remodel that keeps the layout, $26,100 to $43,400 with some layout changes, and $48,000 to $86,400 for a full gut, or $64,800 to $129,600 with a new layout. Contractors already know these numbers; they bid from published construction cost guides adjusted for local labor. GetProEstimate hands you that step first.

Source: the construction cost guides contractors bid from, adjusted for Las Vegas labor; a typical 1990–2009 valley kitchen of 150–250 sq ft. Clark County kitchen-remodel permits (28 since January 2025) ran $24,940 to $63,500 for the middle half, median $36,000: the permitted kitchens are the bigger, layout-changing jobs.
What Drives the Price in Las Vegas
Layout changes: moving the sink, range or a wall is where plumbing, electrical and permits enter the job.
Cabinets: reface, stock, semi-custom or custom is the single largest line.
Counters: quartz and granite dominate Las Vegas kitchens; slab size and edge detail move the price more than the material name.
Appliances: a package upgrade can be a quarter of a mid-range budget.
Electrical: older valley homes often need a sub-panel or dedicated circuits for a new range, microwave or dishwasher; a panel upgrade is a separate line.
Finish level and flooring: tile versus luxury vinyl, backsplash height, under-cabinet lighting.
The valley’s typical kitchen. Most Las Vegas kitchens being remodeled now are in the 1990–2009 tract homes of Summerlin, Green Valley, the northwest and the southwest, where the original builder-grade cabinets and tile counters are 20 to 30 years old. Those kitchens usually keep their layout, which puts them in the mid-range rows above.
Before You Sign
Four permit offices cover the valley: Clark County, the City of Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas. Your contractor pulls the permit; HVAC change-outs, water heaters, repipes, panel changes, solar, pools and patio covers all need one. Like-for-like shingle re-roofs and window replacements generally do not.
Nevada gives you three business days to cancel a door-to-door sale (NRS 598.230).
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Las Vegas?
$19,300 to $28,900 for a mid-range remodel with new cabinets and appliances in the same layout, $26,100 to $43,400 with some layout changes, and $48,000 to $86,400 for a full gut ($64,800 to $129,600 with a new layout). The estimate asks your kitchen's size, the scope and whether walls, plumbing or gas move, then shows your range.
What is the average cost of a kitchen remodel in Las Vegas in 2026?
Most Las Vegas kitchens being remodeled keep their layout, which puts them in the mid-range row: $19,300 to $28,900 for an average 150 to 250 sq ft kitchen. Averages hide the spread; the estimate prices your kitchen instead.
Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen in Las Vegas?
Yes if you touch plumbing, electrical, gas or a wall; no for cabinets, counters, paint and flooring alone. The four valley offices (Clark County, the City of Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas) each issue their own permits, and your contractor pulls them. Clark County's permitted kitchen remodels (28 since January 2025) carry a median declared value near $36,000, because the permitted ones are the jobs that move plumbing, electrical or walls.
Does the HOA care about a kitchen remodel?
Interior work is normally outside HOA review. Exterior changes tied to the remodel, such as a new window over the sink, a range-hood vent through a stucco wall or a dumpster on the street, can need HOA notice in master-planned communities.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Las Vegas?
Two to three weeks for a refresh, four to eight for a mid-range remodel, eight to twelve for a gut with layout changes, plus cabinet lead time. Summer is the busy season for trades here because of AC work, so a kitchen booked for fall or winter often starts sooner.
Why does the GetProEstimate range differ from a contractor's quote?
Because the range is the published cost-guide price adjusted for Las Vegas labor, and a quote is one contractor's price for one scope. If a quote comes in above the range, ask the contractor to itemize what is above it.
