The biggest factors are the square footage involved, the current condition of your home’s systems, and the level of finishes you choose. Opting for high-end materials like custom cabinetry or premium stone countertops will push your budget higher than standard selections.

Frequently asked in Des Moines

What is the 30% rule in remodeling?

What is the difference between renovating and remodeling?

Renovating typically involves restoring or updating an existing space without altering its structure. Remodeling involves changing the layout or structure of a room or home. For instance, repainting your Des Moines living room is renovation; knocking down a wall to create an open-concept kitchen is remodeling. Both can greatly improve your home's functionality and appeal.

Is it cheaper to buy a house or remodel?

This often depends on the Des Moines real estate market and the condition of available homes. In some cases, buying a home in a desirable neighborhood that needs work and remodeling it can be more cost-effective than purchasing a fully updated property. However, extensive renovations can quickly become more expensive than buying new, so a thorough cost-benefit analysis is advisable.

What is the 30% rule for renovations?

It’s a helpful planning tool, but personal enjoyment and specific local conditions in Des Moines also influence the decision. Always get professional advice from experienced contractors.
