FAQs About
Home Remodeling
How much does a home remodel cost?
Home remodels typically range from $20,000 to $200,000+, depending on the size of the project, the rooms involved, material choices, and whether structural work is required. Kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and whole-home upgrades fall on the higher end.
What is the difference between an addition, a renovation and a remodel?
An addition expands your home’s footprint with new square footage.
A renovation refreshes or restores an existing space without major layout changes.
A remodel updates the layout, structure, or function of a space, often involving framing, plumbing, or electrical changes.
Can you write off home remodeling?
Most home remodeling projects are not tax-deductible, but there are exceptions.
Energy-efficient upgrades, accessibility improvements, or renovations made for medical reasons may qualify. Rental property improvements may also qualify. Always verify with a tax professional.
Do I need permits for a home remodel or addition?
Most home remodels and all additions require permits if they involve structural changes, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or expanding the footprint of your home. We help determine which permits are needed in your area and can help manage the process.How long does a stair renovation take?
Most stair renovations take one to five days depending on the scope. Custom builds or major layout changes may take longer.
How long does a typical home remodel take?
Most remodels take two to twelve weeks depending on scope. Kitchens and bathrooms commonly take three to six weeks. Large renovations, additions, or full-home remodels can take several months.
Do you handle demolition and prep work before a remodel?
Yes. We handle demolition, site prep, cleanout, and structural preparation before construction begins to ensure a clean, safe, and efficient start to your project.
What is a good budget for a home renovation?
A good starting budget is typically 10 to 20 percent of your home’s value depending on the areas being updated and the materials chosen. Kitchens and bathrooms generally cost more per square foot than basements, bedrooms, or living areas.
