What Comes With the Deluxe Remodel?
Semi‑Custom Cabinets, Countertops & Fixtures
Your kitchen remodel includes semi-custom cabinets—one of the most popular types of kitchen cabinets—that offer improved function and fit compared to stock options.
Beautiful quartz countertops and a coordinating tile backsplash round out the look with durable, stylish surfaces.
Upgraded plumbing fixtures add durability and style to your kitchen sink setup, blending form and function.
Flooring & Paint
You can choose between tile or luxury vinyl plank flooring, both of which are known for durability and easy maintenance.
Freshly painting walls and ceilings brightens the room and gives your space a clean, updated appearance.
Lighting & Layout Upgrades
Updated lighting makes a huge difference in both mood and practicality.
Task lighting, overhead fixtures, and layout adjustments are designed to enhance how you cook, clean, and entertain.
These improvements go beyond cosmetics, making your kitchen more usable every day.
Timely Completion
The Deluxe kitchen remodel is typically completed in just 2–3 weeks.
This shorter timeline makes it ideal for busy homeowners who want meaningful upgrades without a drawn-out renovation.

Factors That Can Shift the Cost
Material Choices
If you decide to upgrade to custom cabinets, marble countertops, or high-end appliances, the kitchen remodel cost will rise accordingly.
While Springwood’s Deluxe tier already includes quality materials, some homeowners opt to splurge on luxury materials that raise the total cost.
Layout or Structural Changes
Changing the kitchen’s footprint, like moving plumbing or knocking down walls, introduces additional labor costs.
These layout changes are popular but typically push your remodel toward the major kitchen remodel category.
Permit and Code Requirements
In many of Bangor’s older homes—especially near historic Broadway or around Husson University—updates may need to meet local building codes.
You may also need electrical panel upgrades or inspections, which add to your project costs but ensure safety and compliance.
Unexpected Project Variables
Older homes often come with surprises, like water damage or outdated wiring behind the walls.
