A kitchen renovation doesn’t have to involve a full rebuild or an unlimited budget. For homeowners in Massachusetts and Rhode Island seeking a straightforward update, a $10K Kitchen Refresh can be a practical solution when the scope is clearly defined.

Lofty Built’s $10K Kitchen Refresh focuses on a high-impact visual and functional transformation: new cabinets and stone countertops, without the cost of structural changes or layout modifications.

What is the $10K Kitchen Refresh?

$10K Kitchen Refresh Project in MA

The $10K Kitchen Refresh is Lofty Built's entry-level residential renovation program. It is designed specifically for homeowners and those preparing a home for sale who want a fast, cost-effective update.

By utilizing in-house capabilities, from materials supply, delivery, stone fabrication, to installation, Lofty Built eliminates distributor markups and coordination gaps between trades.

What’s Included in the $10K Refresh Base Scopes

To maintain the starting price of $10,000, the program includes a specific set of labor and materials:

Labor & Services

  • Project Management: Full supervision of the refresh from start to finish.
  • Demolition & Disposal: Removal of existing cabinets and countertops, including haul-away.
  • Professional Installation: In-house carpenters install new cabinetry and hardware.
  • Countertop Services: Professional templating, fabrication, and installation of your stone surfaces.

Materials

  • Cabinets: Up to 10 builder-stock Shaker-style cabinets (30" wall height).
  • Hardware: Standard brushed nickel bar pulls.
  • Stone Countertop: One slab of select Granite or Quartz.
  • Sink & Faucet: A standard undermount or overmount sink and a standard faucet.

Program Limits & Exclusions

To keep this package predictable and affordable, it is limited to existing kitchen layouts. The following items are not included in the base $10k Kitchen Refresh scope:

  • Structural work: Layout changes, wall modifications, framing, drywall.
  • Finishes: Flooring, painting, backsplash, crown molding, trim, decorative features.
  • Upgrades: Semi-custom cabinets, premium accessories, kitchen islands, and advanced countertop features.
  • Other exclusions: hazardous materials, appliance disconnection/removal, professional final cleaning, and any work outside the signed scope.

Note: The detailed scope of work will be further discussed, finalized, and agreed upon by both parties in the formal contract.

Choose from $10k Kitchen Refresh Collections

$10K Kitchen Refresh Collections

We offer five timeless colors for our Shaker-style cabinets: White, Antique White, Dove, Grey, and Cinder. You can pair these with a wide variety of stone options, including:

  • Granite: Dallas White, Santa Cecilia, Valle Nevado, Azul Platino, Ornamental, Caledonia, and Steel Gray.
  • Quartz: Super White, Pure White, Carrara Bianco, Galaxy White, Galaxy Mist, and Dark Gray.

Understanding the Timeline

It is important to distinguish between the time our crew is in your home and the total project duration.

  • On-Site Installation: The physical installation typically takes 3–5 days.
  • Total Project Duration: From the time a deposit is placed and materials are secured, most projects are completed within 4–8 weeks. This allows for material lead times (approx. 3 weeks) and countertop fabrication (approx. 1 week after templating).

What Affects Your Timeline?

  • Kitchen Size & Complexity: More cabinets or intricate layouts with many corners naturally require more installation time.
  • Site Readiness: Delays in removing old appliances or disconnecting plumbing will postpone the start of our work.
  • Permitting & Regulations: Requirements vary by municipality and can add time depending on the local building department's speed.
  • Schedule Availability: We operate on a "first deposit, first scheduled" basis; securing your spot early is key, as our in-house team is highly subscribed.
  • Project Changes: Any approved change orders or modifications to the original scope will extend the project schedule.
