Cost factors
The total cost usually consists of:
- Kitchen units and cabinets: 35-50% of the total
- Built-in appliances: 20-30% of the total
- Worktop and splashback: 10-20% of the total
- Installation, plumbing, and electrical: 15-25% of the total
These percentages can vary depending on the specific situation, chosen brand, and quality of materials.
Why do prices vary?
- Layout type: An island or L-shaped kitchen requires more installation work than a straight layout, increasing labor and plumbing costs.
- Brand and origin: Kitchens from IKEA or DIY chains are considerably cheaper than custom-made units from a specialist kitchen store.
- Worktop material: Laminate is the cheapest option; composite stone (such as Silestone) and natural stone (marble, granite) are significantly more expensive but last longer.
- Plumbing and electrical adjustments: Relocating water, gas, or electrical connections significantly increases installation costs.

Housing characteristics in Sacramento
Sacramento mixes historic bungalows and Victorians with large amounts of postwar suburban housing and newer master-planned communities. The climate combines very hot summers with a strong homeowner focus on comfort, making HVAC, insulation, windows, roofing, and shading upgrades especially common. In lower-lying areas near the river system, drainage and site planning can matter more than homeowners initially expect.
