Kitchens are like most other remodeling projects. The costs are completely dependent on the price of the materials and the complexity of the project. It can be helpful to figure 10% to 20% of your home's market value when estimating a kitchen remodel. Keep in mind that a remodeled kitchen is an investment that will increase the value of your home.
Wood flooring is not customarily advised for kitchens. With that in mind, however, it’s still a rather popular option. If you simply love the look of wood floors, feel free to use them in your kitchen, especially if you are transitioning the kitchen into an adjoining room with wood flooring. Frequently, designers select other materials over wood because of the potential susceptibility to water damage. As the kitchen is a high traffic area, the finish will wear off of wood flooring faster than in other low-traffic sections of your home. This means that it will need to be refinished occasionally. A tile floor is traditionally a better choice as it's more resistant to leaks and humidity.

That really all depends on the extent of your project, and to be honest, your patience when it comes to inconveniences. If you live on-site during a full-scale remodel, you will be most certainly be inconvenienced. We ordinarily suggest that people make alternative living arrangements during the main construction because you will deal with dust, debris, workers going in and out, and excessively loud noises. You may also be without some amenities, such as bathroom facilities, during certain parts of the remodeling project. This can be considerably annoying for most people.
