How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Brick?
Most Brick kitchens land in the $25,000–$90,000 range. Cosmetic refreshes — new cabinet doors, counters, a tile backsplash — sit toward the bottom. Full gut jobs that reroute plumbing and upgrade the electrical panel sit toward the top, especially on split-levels and capes around Herbertsville and Laurelton with original 1950s–70s layouts. Paragon Exteriors is registered as a New Jersey home-improvement contractor (NJ HIC #13VH13814500). Ask for the current insurance certificate and any trade-license attribution required for the proposed scope.
What actually drives the price up (or down)
- Layout changes. Moving a sink or range means moving plumbing and gas lines — that’s the single biggest cost swing in any Brick remodel.
- Cabinet grade. Stock, semi-custom, and full-custom cabinetry can each add or save five figures on the same footprint.
- Waterfront considerations. Homes in Shore Acres, Baywood, and along the lagoons sometimes need moisture-resistant lower cabinets and flooring given the humidity coming off the water.
- Age of the house. Greenbriar 55+ ranches and original Laurelton capes often have knob-and-tube remnants or undersized panels that need updating before new appliances go in — we catch this during the walkthrough, not mid-demo.
Who pulls the permits, and how long does a remodel take?
We pull the permits from Brick Township’s building department ourselves — plumbing, electrical, and structural work get filed under our license, and we schedule inspections so they don’t stall your job. A cosmetic refresh can wrap in two to three weeks; a full layout change with new plumbing and custom cabinets typically runs six to ten weeks. We give you a written schedule up front so you know what week the sink is disconnected and back.

Whether you’re updating a Lake Riviera colonial or opening up the kitchen in a Greenbriar ranch for easier day-to-day living, Paragon Exteriors manages the whole job — demo, plumbing, electrical, cabinets, counters, and the permit paperwork — under one roof.
