How the Pennsylvania figure is calculated
Labor is roughly 55% of an installed kitchen remodel job. The median wage for carpenters in Pennsylvania is $59,370 a year, against a national median of $60,580 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025). We apply that 2% below-national difference to the labor share only, which moves the whole installed range by about 1% down. Materials are priced nationally, since they vary far less by state than labor does. Prices inside Pennsylvania still vary by metro area and by contractor. Read the full method.
