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 Detroit

What is the 30% rule in remodeling?

There isn't a universal '30% rule' in remodeling. Homeowners sometimes budget an extra percentage for unexpected issues, and for older Detroit homes, this buffer is wise. When you speak with a local contractor, they'll help you anticipate potential costs related to existing conditions, ensuring a more accurate estimate for your project.

What is the difference between renovating and remodeling?

Remodeling typically involves changing the layout or purpose of a space, like turning a formal dining room into an open-concept kitchen in a Grosse Pointe home. Renovation usually means restoring or updating existing features, such as repairing plaster walls or refinishing original woodwork in a historic Detroit house. Both enhance your living experience.

However, major structural changes or extensive renovations across the entire house would likely exceed this budget. The scope of work and material choices are critical factors.

Is it cheaper to buy a house or remodel?

This is a big decision for many Detroit residents. If you find a home with great potential in a desirable neighborhood like Midtown but it needs updating, remodeling can sometimes be more economical than purchasing a fully renovated property.

What is the 30% rule for renovations?

The '30% rule' isn't a set guideline for renovations. Many homeowners find it beneficial to have a contingency fund, often around 10-20%, for unexpected discoveries during renovation, especially in older Detroit properties. Discussing potential unforeseen costs with the pros during your consultation is recommended.
