Kitchen Quote Analysis: 25/100 — Red Flag

Total quoted: $175,321.44

This kitchen remodel quote of $175,321.44 is a significant red flag, as it's already well above the high end of benchmarks for a large kitchen remodel ($125,000). Crucially, several major cost drivers like drawings, engineering, design, permits, and hardwood flooring are explicitly excluded and will be billed additionally at Time/Expense, making the true project cost much higher and highly uncertain. You could be looking at an additional $20,000-$40,000+ on top of this quote.

Top flag: Misleading Total Cost Due to Time/Expense Items

The quoted total of $175,321.44 is not the final project cost. Critical items like Drawings and Architecture, Engineering, Design, Permits, and Hardwood Flooring Material & Labor are explicitly stated to be billed at Time/Expense. These costs can easily add another $20,000 - $40,000+ to your project, making the initial quote highly misleading and the final cost uncertain.
