Frequently asked questions

How much does a home renovation cost?

It depends on the project and where you live. A mid-range kitchen remodel runs about $15,000–$40,000 nationally, a bathroom $8,000–$25,000, a roof replacement $8,000–$20,000. Costs run 15–35% higher in the Northeast and West Coast and lower in the South. Pick a project and your state above for a localized range.

Why do renovation costs vary by state?

Labor rates and material prices differ a lot by region. The same project can cost 40% more in California or the Northeast than in the rural South. This calculator applies a state regional cost index to a national baseline so the estimate reflects your area.

What is the difference between budget and high-end?

The quality tier reflects your finish level — stock vs. custom cabinets, laminate vs. stone counters, builder-grade vs. designer fixtures. Budget scope runs about 20% below the mid-range figure; high-end can run 40% above. The calculator lets you switch tiers.

Is this a quote?

No — it's a planning range, not a bid. Real cost depends on your exact scope, your home's condition, permits, and local contractor pricing. Use it to set a budget and sanity-check quotes, then get at least three itemized bids from licensed pros.
