What Affects the Cost of a Renovation?

1. Scope of work

A cosmetic refresh (paint, trim, fixtures) is a different job from moving walls or plumbing. The more the layout changes, the more trades and steps are involved.

2. What's behind the walls

Older homes can hide moisture, old wiring or uneven framing. We look for warning signs during the visit, and if we find something once walls are open, we explain it and agree on next steps with you before going further.

3. Materials and finishes

Cabinets, counters, tile, flooring and fixtures come in a wide range of grades. Your choices have a large effect on the final quote, and we can suggest options that fit your goals.

4. Plumbing and electrical

New circuits, lighting, sinks and showers are done by our licensed partner contractors. Moving a drain or adding circuits involves more work than replacing in place.

5. Permits and inspections

Structural, plumbing and some electrical changes need permits and inspections from your municipality. We handle permits when they're required and build the schedule around inspections.

6. Access, protection and timing

Tight stairs, condo rules, occupied homes and septic or well systems can all add steps. So can protecting the rest of the house while you live in it.

7. Size of the job

Small repairs are welcome. Grouping a few small jobs into one visit is often the most efficient way to get them done.
