When considering a renovation project, the first question most people ask us is, "What will it cost?" We've put together a list of average costs for a variety of remodeling projects. As with every rule of thumb, there are always exceptions. But if you are considering a new living space, we hope these estimates will help you develop a realistic budget.

Note that kitchens and bathroom additions tend to entail substantial modifications of existing spaces. This usually skews the square foot costs. Note that the calculation of square footage will always include the full addition plus a good deal of interior square footage that is affected by the new addition.

These square foot prices are illustrative, but are by no means absolute. Square foot costs vary substantially from project to project, depending on a universe of variables. Size, configuration, scope, fixtures, finishes, structural work, foundation type, site issues, updating of existing systems and roofing are only some of the issues which can impact cost one way or the other. That said, we recognize the need to establish a budget, and we have included the below numbers in the hope that they will assist with your planning.
