Home Remodeling Cost

Determine the cost of home remodeling specific with regard to specific applications

In the process of determining an average home remodeling cost, you've no doubt already run up against a few things that you probably hadn't thought of previously.

If, for example, you were to upgrade your kitchen, you would find that in addition to normal remodeling issues such as cabinet replacement, flooring, plumbing, etc., there are a host of other costs ranging from the development of your project's early planning stage, all the way to the structural and finish stages that require your undivided attention.

Those "Other" Costs

As far as what an actual home remodeling cost might entail, it could be broken out into two basic groups. In Group One would be the preliminary "paperwork" and on-going time management costs associated with most renovations. Things such as:

Any architectural renderings and/or draftsman costs, along with the price of the many sets of blueprints or general drawings to be printed. The use of draftsman and especially architects do not come cheap for home remodeling project costs. Expect to pay a minimum of several $100's and up for their services.

Financing the project. If you use a home-equity loan, for example, you'll be making monthly payments. Depending on total amount used, payments could be anywhere from $200/month and up.

Obtaining permits. If you are expanding and knocking out walls, and/or erecting new walls, you will need to get a building permit from your local governmental permitting agency. $30 - $150.

Your personal time invested. Most people overlook this type of expense if they manage the job themselves. $25 - $35/hour

Note

Though there is no average home remodeling "cost" associated with it, you will be inconvenienced for a period of time if your personal residence (as opposed to a house flip) is being remodeled. The stress level can rise dramatically if renovation stretches into weeks or even months. Give some thought to how you and your family will deal with this situation.

And in Group Two, you would have the normal cost of home remodeling associated with specific room upgrades.

If, for example, you were to remodel the kitchen (as mentioned above), you should not only project the cost of replacing the cabinets and counter tops, flooring, etc., but the additional home remodeling costs of demolition and disposal of debris, in addition to updating the plumbing and electricity, drywall installation and finishing, and painting, to name a few.

When projecting an accurate home remodeling cost is crucial (especially in bottom-line projects such as house flipping), you will need to have a solid budget and remodeling plan in place. Do your best to stay on budget and within your scheduling time frames. If you do this with little variance, your project should flow efficiently and reasonably well.
