Island RestorationIsland Restoration
Island Restoration is an independent reference for kitchen island and kitchen remodel costs. Its purpose is to publish price ranges that are actually usable for planning — attached to a scope, a room size, and a line-item breakdown, rather than a single national average with nothing behind it.
What We Publish
- Cost ranges by scope tier and kitchen size, stated as total installed cost.
- Line-item breakdowns showing where a kitchen budget actually goes.
- Buying and sizing references for kitchen islands and their components.
How Our Figures Are Produced
Every price range is a national average estimate compiled from publicly available remodeling cost surveys and published contractor pricing. They are not quotes, and they are not based on bids collected from readers.
Regional labor rates move these totals by 30% or more in either direction, and material prices change faster than any published guide. Treat the ranges here as a way to sanity-check a bid you have received, not as a substitute for getting one.
Editorial Principles
We state total installed cost rather than material-only pricing, label estimates as estimates, and separate cost data from opinion about whether a given upgrade is worth it. Material errors are corrected when reported.
How This Site Makes Money
Island Restoration earns revenue from display advertising and from affiliate commissions on retailer links. When a page links to a product, the site may earn a commission if you buy — at no additional cost to you.
We do not operate a contractor matching service, do not collect homeowner contact details, and do not sell reader information. No manufacturer or retailer pays for placement or for a favorable assessment.
Independence
Island Restoration is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any manufacturer, retailer, or contractor network. Brand names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
