Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Columbia, SC?add

Kitchen remodel cost depends on size, cabinetry, counters, and how much the layout changes. Every Chonko Construction project starts with a written scope, schedule, and price before work begins, so the number is clear up front. See our kitchen remodel cost guide for typical Midlands ranges by finish level.

How do I get a real number for my kitchen before committing?add

Start with a Project Blueprint. For $297, a licensed professional visits your Columbia-area kitchen and delivers a written feasibility read, a risk assessment, and a preliminary budget range. The $297 credits 100% toward your remodel if you build with us.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?add

A kitchen remodel timeline depends on the scope and how much is custom or special-order. Rather than promise a number we can't guarantee, we put a realistic, phase-by-phase schedule in writing before demo starts, and as your single builder we keep the trades sequenced so the job keeps moving instead of stalling between crews. You'll know the plan and what each stage is waiting on.

Do you do small repairs, or just replace the countertops or cabinets?add

We focus on full kitchen remodels, a complete rip-out-and-rebuild, rather than swapping a single piece or patching what's there. Replacing only the counters or doors usually means building a new kitchen around old layout, wiring, and plumbing problems, which tends to cost more and last less. Doing the whole room at once lets us fix the layout and the bones together, so the result is right from the inside out.

Why does Chonko Construction focus on whole-kitchen remodels instead of quick updates?add

Because a kitchen is a system: layout, cabinets, counters, plumbing, and electrical all work together. A piecemeal update hides the parts that actually limit the room. Rebuilding the whole space lets us design an intentional layout and bring everything up to one standard under a single written scope, schedule, and price.
