3 Kitchen Renovations
in Runaway Bay.

The kitchen is the most-used room in the house and the renovation that adds the most value. The operators on HelpSorted cover full kitchen renos (design, cabinets, benchtops, splashback, appliances, install) and lighter refreshes (cabinet doors, benchtops only, splashback replacement).

For a full kitchen renovation in SE QLD, expect $25,000-$60,000 for a mid-range job and $60,000-$120,000+ for higher-end (stone benchtops, custom cabinetry, integrated appliances). Cabinet-door refreshes with new handles are a much cheaper option at $3,500-$8,000 if the underlying cabinet boxes are still sound.

The trade chain on a kitchen reno is long - designer, cabinetmaker, plumber, electrician, tiler, painter, sparky again for appliances. Some renovators handle the whole chain in-house; others co-ordinate sub-contractors. Both work - ask who's accountable for what during quoting.

Stone benchtops dominate SE QLD kitchens. Quartz (engineered stone) is the standard at $400-$800 per sqm installed; natural marble or granite runs $800-$2,000+. Splashbacks in glass are typical for new builds; subway tile for traditional looks.
