Keep the category’s limits in view
The source category is “Kitchen” under “Remodeling.” A median describes the middle of reported spending; it is not an average bid, a recommended budget or a standardized job.
Missing or withheld values stay unknown. They are not zero and are not filled using neighboring metros. The survey’s metro names and boundaries are retained; no county or ZIP estimate is inferred.

Does the quote change room area, layout, systems or finishes, and which changes are included?
Use the quantity calculator to record the measurements. Keep the actual quotes in the project’s comparison worksheet.
