Realistic Renovation Expections

Before you decide to proceed with a home renovation, get a realistic idea of the cost. When we first visit a prospective client, we give a rough estimate of what we believe their project will cost based on projects we’ve done in the past. This lets them know if what they are thinking of doing is possible based on their budget.

Beyond that, home renovation costs depend heavily on the design of the new space and your selections. Some people have expensive taste but simply can’t afford their dream finishes. You may have to bend on some things while prioritizing others. Working with an experienced team will help you come up with a design and selections that you love while still keeping your renovation within your budget.

Unexpected Home Renovation Costs

We do very thorough pricing to reduce the chance of cost overruns. But the truth is, unexpected things do occur. Although we suggest having asbestos testing done before undertaking any renovation project, some people are sure they don’t have asbestos in their home and forgo testing. If asbestos turns up, that’s an extra cost.

Other unexpected things that add to the cost are finding mold behind a wall, moving a plumbing drain that wasn’t accounted for, finding a loadbearing wall hasn’t been properly shored, or finding a support hasn’t been framed properly.

On many renovations, nothing unforeseen happens to add to the cost. But it’s best to be prepared, just to help you reduce stress. Having some padding in your budget will help you manage your home renovation costs no matter what happens.

What Does a Basement Development Cost?

The cost of basement development depends on the size of the basement, what you want to do, the design you choose, the materials you select, and other factors. While developing your basement isn’t going to be cheap, it does add an entire floor of living space and significantly adds to the value of your home.

Based on previous projects we’ve completed in the past, basement developments range between $70,000 to $100,000.
