According to the 2020 Remodeling Magazine for our area, the return on investment (ROI) for resale of a home is as follows:

• Average kitchen remodel is 68%
• Average bath remodel is 62%

In this economy you are never going to get all the money back that was invested in your new kitchen or bath. So, you need to look at that difference as improving your quality of life over the rest of the time you will be in that home. The improvements will help in selling your home in the future.

Good design, reputable contractor, quality cabinets, countertops, and layered lighting.

As a design build company, we provide the following in our estimate:

• Labor:Demo, carpentry, millwork, plumbing, ducting, electrical, sheetrock, paint, flooring, tile, dumpster, permits, and cleaning.
• Materials:Cabinets, countertop, hardware, tile, appliances, and plumbing fixtures.

Depending on the size and scope of the remodel: 6-8 weeks for average kitchen, 8-10 weeks for multiple rooms.
