1. Full Bathroom Remodel

A bathroom remodel involves planning, demolition, plumbing, electrical work, and finishing touches. Contractors start by designing a layout that maximizes space, light, and functionality. Then, they tear out old fixtures and tiles, check for plumbing or structural issues, and install new plumbing if needed. Afterward, electrical fixtures are placed according to code. Walls and floors are tiled or painted, new fixtures are installed, and the finishing touches are applied, like mirrors, lighting, and cabinetry.

Materials Needed:

• Ceramic or porcelain tiles for floors and walls
• Vanity and sink with countertop
• Toilet, shower, or tub (potentially frameless shower doors)
• Lighting fixtures and exhaust fan
• Water-resistant paint or wallpaper

Average Cost:
Depending on the scope, expect a full bathroom remodel to cost between $12,000 to $30,000. For luxury finishes, the price can go up to $50,000.

A kitchen remodel starts with planning the layout, considering plumbing, wiring, and venting. Old cabinets and appliances are removed, followed by plumbing and electrical work. Once the foundation is set, new cabinetry is installed along with countertops, appliances, and backsplash. Finally, contractors complete flooring, paint, and final inspections.

Materials Needed:

• Cabinets and countertops (quartz, granite, or laminate)
• Appliances (stove, refrigerator, microwave, etc.)
• Backsplash tile and grout
• Lighting (under-cabinet and overhead fixtures)
• Sink and faucet, vent hood

Average Cost:
On average, a full kitchen remodel starts at $15,000. Higher-end finishes or custom cabinetry could push this to $60,000 or more.

When finishing a basement with a bathroom, work begins with structural inspections and waterproofing to ensure a dry, comfortable space. Plumbing and electrical lines are then installed, followed by framing for walls, insulation, and drywall. Flooring, paint, and bathroom fixtures are added, and the final finishes (like moldings and lighting) complete the project.

Materials Needed:

• Drywall, insulation, and framing materials
• Bathroom fixtures (toilet, sink, shower)
• Flooring (vinyl, laminate, or carpet)
• Lighting, trim, and molding

Average Cost:
Basement finishing with a bathroom can range from $20,000 to $50,000, depending on the scope and finishes.

Finishing a basement without a bathroom follows a similar initial process of waterproofing and inspection. Framing, insulation, drywall installation, and electrical work set the stage, followed by flooring and painting. Final touches include baseboards, moldings, and lighting installation.

Materials Needed:

• Insulation and drywall
• Flooring material (carpet, vinyl, laminate)
• Lighting fixtures and outlets
• Trim and baseboard

Average Cost:
Expect a basement finish without a bathroom to range from $15,000 to $30,000.

Interior painting begins with prepping walls—sanding, filling holes, and cleaning surfaces. High-quality primer and paint are then applied, typically in two coats. This process is repeated for each room, starting with ceilings and walls before moving to trim and doors. This straightforward project often yields transformative results.

Materials Needed:

• Interior primer and paint (latex or oil-based)
• Sandpaper, painter’s tape, drop cloths
• Paint rollers, brushes, trays

Average Cost:
Interior painting ranges between $650 to $8,000 for a room to an entire house, depending on square footage, ceiling height, and paint quality.

For repairs, professionals inspect the deck, remove damaged boards, and replace them with matching wood or composite. Installation involves laying a foundation, constructing frame posts and beams, and installing boards. Staining or sealing finishes the deck, protecting it from weathering.

Materials Needed:

• Wood or composite decking material
• Nails, screws, and fasteners
• Stain or sealant for waterproofing

Average Cost:
Deck repair ranges from $500 to $4,000, while new deck installations generally fall between $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size and material.
