How long does a kitchen remodel usually take?

On average, most kitchen remodeling projects take 6–8 weeks, depending on size and complexity. If you’re making major layout changes or using specialty materials like marble backsplash or custom cabinetry, it may take longer. We always provide a clear timeline upfront—and we stick to it.

Do I need permits for my kitchen remodel in Hazlet?

In most cases, yes—especially if you’re making structural changes or altering utilities like gas, plumbing, or electrical. But don’t worry—we handle all the paperwork and coordinate directly with Hazlet’s building department to make sure everything is up to code and stays on track.

Can I live in my house during the remodel?

Absolutely. Many of our clients stay in their homes during the remodel. We’ll set up temporary kitchen solutions when possible and keep the job site clean and secure. If it’s a full remodel, it may be a bit inconvenient, but we’ll work with you to plan around it.

What’s the best layout for a small kitchen?

For smaller kitchens, galley layouts or L-shape designs tend to work best. We focus on maximizing every inch—think corner cabinets, open shelving, and a kitchen island if space permits. The goal is always balancing function and style without sacrificing either.

What Makes Renewal Solutions the Choice in Middletown, NJ

★★★★★ 5/5

I highly recommend Renewal Solutions. They recently finished my kitchen renovation. This was the third project I have hired them for. They are creative, neat, highly skilled and customer-focused. The crews are talented craftsmen who take obvious pride in their work.

I trusted them completely with access to my house… important as I had to unexpectedly be away for a month, and RS kept in constant contact with me. As in any reno, there were “surprise” issues that cropped up. RS lived up to its name as these issues did require solutions!

They truly go the extra mile to make sure their customers are completely happy. I found their costs to be very competitive. But, their care for their customers makes them stand out.

How Much Does Home Remodeling Cost in Middletown, NJ?

Every home is different — but to give you a clear sense of how costs can add up, here’s one real project we completed in the area:
Example: Roof replacement + interior restoration
Replaced damaged roof framing

Installed new GAF shingles with waterproofing
Rebuilt several interior walls
Installed approx. 570 sq. ft. of hardwood flooring
Renovated one bathroom
Completed a full kitchen remodel
Total project cost: ~ $189,000
Kitchen portion alone: ~ $65,000

This was a large-scale project involving both structural and interior work. Smaller, more targeted remodels will fall well below this number. The only way to know what your project will cost is to have us take a look, talk through your goals, and build a clear, itemized plan.

5 Factors That Affect Home Remodeling Costs in Middletown, NJ

Scope of Work: A full gut renovation across multiple rooms costs more than a focused kitchen or bath update. More rooms = more trades, materials, and time.
Material Choices: Custom cabinetry, high-end tile, or solid wood flooring will cost more than stock materials — but often last longer and look better doing it.
Existing Conditions: Older homes in Middletown sometimes come with surprises behind the walls — wiring, plumbing, or structural issues that need correcting.
Design Complexity: Simple changes are faster. Layout changes, custom carpentry, or wall reconfiguration add time and budget.
Permit Requirements: Middletown’s building department has clear rules. We manage the process, but permits and inspections can affect both the budget and the timeline.
