How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Freehold?
Most Freehold kitchens land between $25,000 and $90,000. A refresh with new cabinet fronts, counters, and updated lighting sits toward the bottom; a full gut job that moves the sink, adds a peninsula, and rewires the room sits toward the top — common in downtown Borough Victorians where the kitchen was never meant to hold a dishwasher and a full-size fridge. 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. Call 848-633-6440 and we’ll walk the space before we put a number on paper.
Downtown Victorians vs. Township colonials: two different kitchen jobs
| Where you live | Typical kitchen problem | What the remodel usually involves |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown Freehold (Borough) | Cramped early-1900s galley layout, knob-and-tube remnants, old galvanized supply lines | Rewiring, replumbing, and reworking the footprint within the original structure |
| East Freehold | Closed-off 1960s–70s layout, dated cabinets and laminate counters | Opening a wall to a dining room, new cabinetry, updated electrical panel |
| West Freehold | 1980s–2000s colonial with a workable footprint but tired finishes | Cabinet, counter, and lighting refresh without moving plumbing |
| Georgia & Smithburg | Farmhouse kitchens on rural lots, older well/septic-era plumbing | Full re-plumb alongside the remodel, sometimes coordinated with well pressure checks |
A home near the Monmouth County Courthouse downtown and a colonial off Route 537 near Monmouth Battlefield State Park can carry the same square footage and land at very different price points once we see what’s behind the walls.
Who pulls the permits — Freehold Borough or Freehold Township?
Freehold has a Borough and a Township, depending on your address — we confirm and pull the permits either way. Moving plumbing or gas lines, adding circuits, or opening a structural wall all require sign-off, and each side of town has its own construction office and inspection schedule. We handle the filing and the inspections so you’re not the one tracking down paperwork mid-project.

Whether it’s a Victorian near Freehold Raceway that needs its 1920s kitchen brought up to code or a straightforward cabinet swap in a West Freehold colonial, Paragon Exteriors manages demo, plumbing, electrical, cabinets, and permits under one roof — no separate contractors to coordinate.
