Whether you're reworking a kitchen, updating a bath, or adding a whole room, here's a clear, no-pressure look at how remodeling pricing works — so you can plan with confidence before demolition begins.
Remodels fall along a wide spectrum. The biggest driver isn't square footage — it's how much you're changing and the level of finishes you choose.
Depending on the size of the space and finish selections, a full kitchen renovation may fall toward the upper end of this range or exceed it.
Every home is different, but these ranges give you a realistic working budget for the most common remodel and addition projects we take on.
| Project | Typical | High-End |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom remodel | $7K – $14K | $14K – $23K |
| Kitchen remodel | $18K – $31K | $31K – $51K |
| Primary suite addition | $43K – $70K | $70K – $101K |
| Second-story addition | $70K – $117K | $117K+ |
Figures are construction estimates only. Every project is different — actual costs vary by scope, finishes, and the condition of your home.
Two kitchens of the same size can land at very different prices. These are the levers that explain the gap.
Moving or removing load-bearing walls, adding beams, and reworking foundations adds engineering and labor that cosmetic updates never touch.
Relocating fixtures, upgrading panels, and bringing older systems up to code is often the hidden driver behind kitchen and bath budgets.
Cabinets, countertops, tile, flooring, and fixtures span a huge range. Selections are where remodel budgets climb — and where you have the most control.
Older homes can hide surprises behind the walls — outdated wiring, water damage, or settling — that come to light once demolition starts.
The headline number rarely tells the whole story. Build these line items into your budget early so they don't become surprises.
You don't have to choose between quality and budget. A few decisions up front keep both in line.
Leaving sinks, toilets, and appliances in their existing spots avoids expensive rerouting and is one of the biggest levers on a remodel budget.
Splurge on the few surfaces you touch and see every day, and choose smart, durable mid-range options everywhere else.
Change orders mid-project are where budgets and timelines slip. Locking selections before demolition keeps the work moving and the price firm.
