What Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Charleston, SC?
Kitchen renovation costs in Charleston vary widely depending on the size of the space, cabinet and countertop selections, whether layout changes are involved, and the level of customisation. Kitchen remodels are generally a larger investment than bathroom renovations due to the complexity of plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, and appliance work involved.
- Minor Update — $15,000 to $30,000
New countertops, hardware, backsplash, lighting, and paint. Existing cabinet boxes remain. No layout changes. - Mid-Range Remodel — $30,000 to $60,000
New semi-custom or custom cabinetry, countertop replacement, updated appliances, tile backsplash, and flooring. - Full Gut Renovation — $60,000 to $100,000+
Complete demolition, layout redesign, custom cabinetry, premium countertops, new plumbing and electrical, and high-end appliances. - High-End Custom Kitchen — $100,000+
Full custom cabinetry, luxury countertop materials, integrated appliances, structural changes, and designer finishes throughout.
Factors that affect pricing include the size of the kitchen, cabinet selection and customisation level, countertop material, whether plumbing or layout changes are required, appliance specifications, and the condition of the existing space. Older Charleston homes may also require additional work behind the walls once demolition begins. The best way to get an accurate number is a written estimate based on your specific project.

Cabinet lead times can also affect the schedule — LITN accounts for this during planning so there are no unexpected delays. Your written estimate will include a detailed project timeline.
What countertops work best for coastal Charleston kitchens?
In Charleston kitchens, it’s important to choose countertop materials that hold up under everyday use and the region’s humidity. Quartz is a popular choice for its durability and low maintenance. Quartzite and granite perform well in coastal conditions when properly sealed. We help you weigh the performance, maintenance requirements, and design goals for your specific kitchen during the estimate consultation.
