How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Middletown?
Most Middletown kitchen remodels land between $25,000 and $90,000, depending on scope. A cabinet and counter refresh on an existing layout sits at the low end; a full gut that moves plumbing, reworks electrical, and adds custom cabinetry runs toward the top — common in the larger colonials around Lincroft. We walk your kitchen in person and hand you a free, itemized estimate before any demo starts, so the price you’re quoted is the price you pay.
One general contractor for Middletown’s mixed housing stock
Middletown’s kitchens come from at least three different eras. The postwar split-levels and colonials filling New Monmouth and River Plaza were built with closed-off, compartmentalized kitchens that don’t match how most families cook today. The bayshore capes in Belford, Port Monmouth, and Leonardo — many raised or rebuilt after Sandy — often pair a small kitchen footprint with dated wiring that can’t support modern appliances. And the larger custom homes in Lincroft and Navesink tend to want higher-end finishes: waterfall islands, panel-ready appliances, walk-in pantries. Whatever the starting point, as your general contractor we manage the plumber, electrician, and any gas line work under one roof — you’re not hiring three separate contractors and hoping their schedules line up.
What’s included in a Paragon kitchen remodel
- Layout planning — opening walls, relocating the sink or range, widening galley footprints common in older capes
- Cabinetry and counters — semi-custom or custom cabinets, quartz, granite, or butcher block
- Plumbing and electrical — new supply lines, disposal hookups, panel upgrades where postwar wiring can’t support modern appliances
- Permits and inspections — pulled through Middletown Township and scheduled around your timeline
Do I need permits for a kitchen remodel in Middletown?
Most kitchen remodels touch plumbing, electrical, or both, and Middletown Township requires a permit any time those systems change — a moved sink, a new gas line for a range, relocated outlets. We pull every permit ourselves through the township’s construction office and coordinate the inspections, so you’re not stuck tracking down paperwork for three different trades. It’s one of the reasons homeowners hire a single general contractor instead of managing subs directly.
