Pricing for residential remodels can vary widely depending on several factors, including the scope of the project, location, materials, and the contractor's experience. However, it’s important to understand the general breakdown of costs involved so you can create a realistic budget. Here’s an outline of how residential remodel pricing typically works:​

1. Type of Remodel​

The type of remodeling project will significantly influence the cost:​

​

Kitchen Remodel: This is one of the most expensive types of remodels. A full kitchen remodel can range from $10,000 to $50,000+ depending on size, materials, and the extent of the work. On average:

• Minor remodel (cosmetic upgrades): $10,000–$20,000

• Mid-range remodel (new cabinets, countertops, appliances): $20,000–$40,000

• High-end remodel (luxury finishes, custom cabinets): $40,000–$80,000+

​

Bathroom Remodel: Bathrooms can be a bit less expensive than kitchens, but prices still vary greatly depending on the scope of work:

• Minor remodel: $5,000–$10,000

• Mid-range remodel: $10,000–$20,000

• High-end remodel: $20,000–$40,000+

​

Whole House Remodel: If you plan to remodel multiple rooms or the entire home, this can be much more expensive:

• Partial remodel (e.g., 2-3 rooms): $30,000–$100,000+

• Full remodel (entire house): $100,000–$500,000+, or more depending on size and quality

​2. Scope of Work​

The level of work required is crucial in determining the price:

​

• Cosmetic Updates (e.g., paint, new flooring, light fixtures): Relatively inexpensive, typically costing a few thousand dollars.

• Structural Changes (e.g., removing walls, changing layouts, adding rooms): More costly, often ranging from $10,000 to $50,000+, depending on the complexity.

• Systems Upgrades (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC): Significant upgrades can add substantial costs, usually $5,000 to $20,000+ for new plumbing, electrical rewiring, or installing new HVAC systems.

​

​3. Materials and Fixtures​​

The quality of materials selected will have a direct impact on the overall cost:

​

• Basic Materials: Laminate countertops, stock cabinetry, and standard fixtures are less expensive options for a remodel.

• Mid-range Materials: Granite countertops, semi-custom cabinets, and upgraded flooring or appliances.

• High-end Materials: Marble countertops, custom cabinets, luxury flooring (e.g., hardwood, high-end tile), and high-end appliances.

​

​4. Additional Costs​​

​

• Permits and Inspections: Depending on the work being done, permits may be required, which can cost anywhere from $50 to $2,000 or more, depending on your location and the project scope.

• Design Services: If you require a designer or architect, their fees typically range from $50 to $200 per hour, or a flat rate of $2,000 to $10,000 depending on the project size and complexity.

• Contingency Fund: It’s wise to set aside 10%-20% of the overall budget for unexpected costs or changes during the remodel.

​

​5. Payment Structure​​​

​​

Cost Plus: We charge for labor and materials and then add a percentage for overhead and profit.

​Conclusion

Pricing for residential remodels varies depending on the size, scope and materials chosen. Homeowners should establish a budget and allow room for unexpected costs. It's also helpful to prioritize which upgrades are most important to get the best return on investment.
