Kitchen and bathroom remodels are the two projects we get asked about the most at our Broadway Blvd showroom - and they're also the two that homeowners tend to under-budget for, because the flooring is only one line item in a longer list that includes cabinets, countertops, and often appliances. Here's a realistic look at what these projects run in the Salina area in 2026.
Kitchen flooring costs
Most Salina-area kitchens run 150 to 250 square feet. Luxury vinyl plank is the most common choice we install in kitchens now, since it's fully waterproof and handles a dropped pan without cracking - typically $900 to $2,800 installed for that size room. Porcelain tile runs a bit higher, usually $1,200 to $3,800, and is the better pick if you're also retiling a backsplash or entry in the same project. See our tile flooring and luxury vinyl plank pages for material-level pricing.
| Kitchen Project | Typical Size | Budget Range |
|---|---|---|
| LVP flooring | 150 - 250 sq ft | $900 - $2,800 |
| Porcelain tile flooring | 150 - 250 sq ft | $1,200 - $3,800 |
| Backsplash tile | 30 - 50 sq ft | $500 - $1,400 |
| Cabinets (full kitchen) | Varies | $6,000 - $20,000+ |
| Countertops | 30 - 45 sq ft | $1,800 - $6,000 |
Bathroom remodel costs
Bathrooms are smaller than kitchens, but the labor is denser - waterproofing, wall tile, and a shower or tub surround all add up. A full bathroom floor and shower retile in a Salina-area home typically runs $2,500 to $7,500 depending on whether you're doing a full walk-in shower conversion or a straightforward floor and surround refresh. Natural stone surrounds, like the onyx shower one of our recent customers chose over standard tile, run toward the higher end of that range but hold up beautifully and clean easily. See wall tile and natural stone tile for material options.
Planning a kitchen or bath remodel?
Get a free in-home estimateDon't forget cabinets, countertops, and appliances
Flooring is usually the easiest line item to budget for accurately, because it's priced per square foot. Cabinets and countertops are where remodel budgets tend to run over, since custom sizing, soft-close hardware, and stone versus laminate countertops swing the price a lot. We handle cabinets, countertops, and appliances alongside flooring - which means one estimate, one delivery schedule, and one team to call if anything needs adjusting after installation, instead of juggling three separate contractors.
How to budget without overspending
- Get one complete, installed quote per project - not a material-only number that grows once labor is added.
- Ask whether removal and disposal of your old flooring, cabinets, or fixtures is included.
- Decide your must-haves (waterproof floors, soft-close cabinets) before you shop, so upgrades don't creep into every line item.
- Ask about financing if you'd rather spread a full remodel over several months instead of paying up front.

We'll walk your kitchen or bathroom, measure everything, and bring flooring, cabinet, and countertop samples so you can see real options in your own lighting - not a showroom's. Request a free estimate or browse customer reviews from other Saline County homeowners first.
