Knowing what you want is the easy part when it comes to home upgrades. The more difficult question is determining how much you can spend.
When it comes to home remodeling expenditures, creating a realistic budget needs a well-thought-out strategy.
How Much Does It Cost to Remodel a House?
Ultimately, that depends on how much of the house you’re remodeling, the cost of materials, and how high-end you want to go. Renovations to an older property may be more expensive than those to a modern one, particularly if the wiring, plumbing, and other systems aren’t up to code.
According to HomeAdvisor, home renovations and remodels average $47,830, with most projects falling between $17,916 and $77,953. Typically, you can expect to spend at least $10 to $60 per square foot on any renovation. But don’t let those averages freak you out, Southern Home Remodeling can give you an estimate on your remodeling project that may better suit your budget.
