Sometimes, it can be helpful to understand the average cost of the type of project we want. This allows you to prepare yourself before reaching out to a contractor.

Renovation and Remodeling Cost Calculator by SoFi
This renovation and remodeling cost calculator by SoFi is simple to use and is specific to where you live. All you have to do is answer a few questions and you will receive an approximate cost for your remodeling project. You will have to select the area of your home you want improved – kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, garage, family room, window replacement, or other. Then you will have to note if you are doing a renovation, addition, or expansion.
Depending on the type of project you are doing, there will be different questions you will have to answer after this point. If you are doing a renovation, you will have to define the scope of work. This includes identifying if you are doing cosmetic changes, a typical renovation, or down to the studs. Cosmetic changes are just updates and changes that do not require a permit. Typical renovations include new work and materials that may require a permit. Down to the studs' renovations also include structural rearrangement that requires a permit. For an addition, note if you want a one story or two-story addition. If you are wanting an expansion, you will need to say what type of expansion and the size of the expansion you want.
Then you will be directed to indicate the existing size of the room for the project. You are given the option to choose between a small (10’ x 7’), medium (10’ x 14’), large (10’ x 7’), or a custom size.
You will also be asked about the level of finish you want – builder grade, quality grade, and custom grade. Builder grade is the least expensive option, but it still allows for you to improve your home. Quality grade allows for more personalization than the builder grade. Custom grade is high-end and the most expensive option.
