When considering renovations to your home, the kitchen may not be high on your list as due for an upgrade, but renovating your kitchen<\/a> cabinetry can be a worthwhile investment, says Larry Chun<\/a>, a top-selling agent in Honolulu, Hawaii, who sells properties 36% faster than the average area agent.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have money to do new kitchen cabinets, it definitely boosts the value<\/a> of the home because people spend a lot of time in the kitchen,\u201d Chun said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s where people entertain, that\u2019s where families come together,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

For an idea of what you\u2019re getting into, an average kitchen cabinet installation costs between $100 and $650 per linear foot for stock or semi-custom<\/a> styles.<\/p>\n

This translates to a total of between $2,000 and $13,000 for a 10×10 kitchen. For custom cabinets, homeowners can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 per linear foot<\/a>, costing between $10,000 and $24,000.<\/p>\n
