What Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Marietta, GA?
Kitchen remodeling costs in Marietta vary because every home has a different layout, age, structure, and finish level. A newer kitchen in East Cobb may need a very different scope than an older home near Marietta Square or Whitlock. A project that keeps the same layout is usually different from one that moves plumbing, changes appliance locations, removes a wall, or adds custom cabinet features.
For many Grand Home Designs clients, a full upper-mid kitchen remodel falls in the $60,000 to $120,000 range.
Some projects cost less. Some cost more. The best way to understand cost is to look at the level of change involved.
Cosmetic Kitchen Refresh:
$25,000-$50,000
A cosmetic refresh may make sense when the existing kitchen layout works and the main goal is to update the look of the space.
This type of project may include new countertops, backsplash, sink, faucet, cabinet hardware, decorative lighting, paint, and limited finish updates. It can make a dated kitchen feel much fresher, but it usually does not solve major layout or storage problems.
A cosmetic refresh is not the right category if you want to move plumbing, replace all cabinetry, change appliance locations, remove walls, or redesign the room.
Upper-Mid Kitchen Remodel:
$60,000-$120,000
This is the range where many Grand Home Designs kitchen remodels fit best.
A project in this category may include new cabinetry, better storage, updated countertops, backsplash, appliance coordination, improved lighting, flooring updates, electrical and plumbing coordination, ventilation planning, and 3D design work before construction.
For many Marietta homeowners, this range allows for a meaningful transformation without moving into a fully luxury budget.
Luxury/Highly Customized:
$120,000+
Some kitchen remodels require a larger investment because of extensive layout changes, structural work, premium appliances, custom cabinetry, specialty stone, large-format surfaces, detailed millwork, or a larger kitchen footprint.
This level of remodel may include integrated appliances, a custom range hood, luxury cabinet details, expanded openings, high-end lighting, and more complex trade coordination.
During the design process, we help you understand which investment level matches your goals, your home, and your priorities.
Our Process
-
We start with a conversation about your kitchen, your home, your goals, and your budget range.
You can tell us what isn’t working, what you hope to change, and what you have already been considering. We may talk about layout, storage, appliances, finishes, timing, project location, HOA needs, and whether the investment range makes sense for the scope you have in mind.
-
Once the project moves forward, the existing kitchen needs to be documented. Measurements, ceiling heights, doors, windows, appliance locations, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, flooring, and visible constraints all matter.
This is also where questions start to surface. Is there enough room for the island you want? Can the refrigerator move? Will the flooring need to continue into nearby rooms? Does the existing ventilation path work?
The more we can learn early on, the smoother the process will be.
-
Many homeowners have trouble visualizing a kitchen from a flat drawing. That is completely normal.
3D design helps you see how the cabinet layout, island, appliances, storage, and major design features can work together. It also makes it easier to discuss changes before materials are ordered or construction begins.
This step is especially helpful for island sizing, cabinet proportions, appliance placement, and overall flow.
-
After the layout direction is clear, we help organize the major selections. This may include cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, sink, faucet, hardware, lighting, flooring, appliances, paint, and other details.
At the same time, the scope becomes clearer. What is included? What still needs to be selected? What assumptions need to be confirmed? What work may require licensed trade involvement or permits?
A clear scope helps avoid vague expectations.
-
Some kitchen remodels are mostly cosmetic. Others involve electrical work, plumbing changes, gas, ventilation, structural review, inspections, or permit requirements. Grand Home Designs only works with licensed trades to ensure the highest quality of work is performed.
-
Before construction starts, we review access, schedule expectations, deliveries, dust control, work areas, and communication.
A typical kitchen remodel may include demolition, rough electrical or plumbing, framing adjustments if needed, inspections, drywall, cabinet installation, countertop templating, countertop installation, tile, fixtures, appliance installation, finish work, and a final punch list.
No remodel is completely disruption-free, but good planning makes the disruption easier to manage.
-
At the end of the project, we walk through the finished kitchen with you, review details, identify punch-list items if needed, and discuss care for your new materials.

Local Considerations in Marietta
-
Many communities in East Cobb and country-club neighborhoods have HOA/ARC review processes. We prepare drawings/specs and coordinate submissions when required.
-
Homes closer to the Square and established neighborhoods may need electrical updates, improved ventilation, and layout corrections. We plan those early so they don’t surprise you mid-build.
-
A common goal: better storage, a pantry wall, and lighting that makes daily cooking easier. We focus on durable finishes that hold up to everyday wear.
Materials That Last
Cabinetry
Choose quality semi-custom lines or go fully custom for specialty storage and a seamless fit.
Counters & Tile
We balance look, durability, and maintenance. We’ll explain the trade-offs between quartz and natural stone and ensure correct installation.
Ventilation, Electrical & Safety
Correct ducting, makeup air (where applicable), and safe circuits are always part of the plan.
