Perhaps the most common question I hear is, “how much will my project cost?” There is no easy answer to this question because costs have numerous factors that play a role in the final price of your home remodel project. It is important for you to understand these various factors so that you can have an accurate estimate of cost before any project gets started.
What Factors Are You Talking About?
There are several factors that you will need to consider before a project gets started:
Addition vs. Remodel: Some people’s projects involve adding on an entire new room to a home. In other cases, old space is being repurposed into something new. What category does your project fall under? This makes a difference.
The Materials: What materials are being laid down for the project? Are you trying to add laminate floors? Or will your floors be hardwood? Will your counters be wooden? Granite? Marble? Different materials have different prices and the type of material, along with the amount, needs to be considered.
Home Value: You might be surprised to learn that the current value of your home plays a role in the price of your remodel. The prices of homes in your neighborhood will help us determine where the value of your home should be. This is important for managing your project.
How Much Do You Cost?
I get this question all of the time. We have different pricing models that can help you keep your budget where it needs to be. We can charge an hourly rate or bill it as a percentage of the overall project. Furthermore, as an experienced project manager, I can work with you to make sure that all issues with your budget are addressed before starting; however, I always make sure we have a proper allowance for the unknown. My job is to catch problems before they arise, preventing projects from losing control. Please contact me today to learn more! I am happy to answer any and all of your questions!
