What affects the price

Your choice of materials, like high-end appliances or custom cabinetry, will shift the budget significantly. Additionally, the condition of your home’s existing plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems plays a role; updates here are often necessary but can add to the bottom line.

Frequently asked in Atlanta

What is the 30% rule in remodeling?

The 30% rule isn't a strict guideline, but more a concept about budget. This helps ensure you're not over-investing in a remodel. For Atlanta homes, this rule can be a helpful way to frame your project budget before calling for estimates.

What is the difference between renovating and remodeling?

Renovating typically means restoring something to a good state of repair, like fixing up an old deck or updating finishes. Remodeling, on the other hand, involves changing the structure or layout of a space. Think knocking down a wall to create an open-concept living area in your Atlanta home. Both improve your living space but remodeling often involves more significant structural changes.

For a kitchen or bathroom update, it might be sufficient. However, for a full-house remodel, especially with structural changes, it might be tight. The age and condition of your home also play a big role. It's best to get a professional quote.

Is it cheaper to buy a house or remodel?

Generally, it's cheaper to remodel an existing home than to buy a new one, especially in a competitive market like Atlanta. However, if your remodel needs are extensive and involve major structural work, the costs can climb quickly. Consider the long-term value and your personal needs when making this decision.

What is the 30% rule for renovations?
