        "text": "Total kitchen remodeling costs depend directly on room size, structural modifications, and material choices. Primary cost drivers include custom cabinetry versus stock cabinet replacements, the type of countertop materials selected, and high-end tile or plumbing fixtures. Reconfiguring a floor plan—such as relocating a sink, gas range, or refrigerator—increases labor costs because licensed trades must alter supply lines, drainage, and dedicated electrical circuits behind the walls. Creating open-concept spaces by removing load-bearing walls also requires structural engineering, which impacts the overall budget.",
