It's not the cabinets that cost you — it's building it in Roxbury

Split that number in two and the whole picture changes. At this mid-range level, the finish materials — cabinets, counters, tile, fixtures — are mostly national-retailer products at fairly standard prices, so they don't swing much from town to town. Go custom or high-end and that number climbs; go builder-grade and it drops. The big, unpredictable number is everything it takes to build it on-site — labor, permits, design, plumbing, and structural work — and that's set entirely by the local market.

Finish materials · mid-range
$8K – $18K
Cabinets, counters, tile, fixtures — mid-range products from national retailers.
Local build cost · Roxbury
~$24K
Labor, permits, design, plumbing, structural work, finish carpentry, paint — everything done on-site in Roxbury. This is the number no national site can tell you, and the one TrueScope measures.

Finish materials $8K–$18K + local build cost ~$24K (Roxbury) = the $32K–$42K range above. That local build cost — labor, permits, trades, and finishes — is where "fair" is really decided, and what national calculators can't see.

Common questions

Roxbury kitchen costs, answered

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Roxbury?

A mid-range remodel that keeps its layout — new cabinets, counters, and fixtures — runs about $32K–$42K based on comparable Roxbury permits. Moving plumbing, taking down a wall, or high-end finishes move it up. Enter your address to price your exact version.

Why is most of the cost the build, not the materials?

Finish materials run about $8K–$18K — mid-range cabinets, counters, and fixtures from national retailers. The large, variable cost is the local build — around $24K in Roxbury — which covers labor, permits, design, plumbing, structural work, and finishes, all set by your neighborhood's market. That's the part a national average can't capture.

What does "high confidence, 24 permits" mean?

It's us being straight with you: the range is drawn from 24 comparable Roxbury projects, which is a strong sample. Entering your exact address narrows the comparison to your street and sharpens the number. We show the confidence rather than hide it.

Is it really free? Do you recommend contractors?

Free for homeowners, always. TrueScope doesn't refer contractors, take referral fees, or let anyone pay to rank higher. It's an independent benchmark — that neutrality is the whole point.
