The average cost of renovating several rooms or the entire house for homeowners in Utah may cost around $42,821, which is the national average for this year.
For bathrooms, remodeling services in Ogden may be cheaper than in other cities such as Salt Lake City. This is because contractors from major urban areas typically charge more due to the higher demand for work, aside from a bigger cost of living in these places.
Most homeowners should expect to spend between $17,405 and $68,646, although it may cost as low as $3,695 or even up to $145,000 depending on several factors.
Bathroom and Kitchen Renovations
If your budget is limited, you should consider a bathroom or kitchen renovation first since either two tend to have a higher return on investment, especially after a resale. Small kitchen renovations cost at least $4,500, but a high-end project may require you to spend $49,000. On average, most people set a budget of around $20,000. New cabinets, appliances and flooring are some of the major expenses, according to the National Kitchen and Bath Association.
Bathroom renovations are more affordable with the average price of a remodel costing between $6,000 and $14,000. Kitchen renovations used to be the first choice, but many are now considering a bathroom upgrade since this is an easier project. It also takes a shorter time for completion, while minimally disrupting your daily life unlike an under-construction kitchen.
Return on Investment
In fact, it’s one of the most important things to consider when reselling your house. Potential buyers usually focus on the bathroom as the final straw when thinking whether or not to sign a deal.
Other Room Renovations
Fixtures and appliances are some of the smaller details for a renovation project, although these can easily cost up to $10,000 particularly for custom-built ones. Store-bought appliances cost at least $300 each, while those with an EnergyStar rating cost up to $3,500. You may leave this for the last stage of the project, especially if you haven’t thought about a good design for the room.
New roofing isn’t technically a room, but it still matters for a major renovation. Unless you already invested in a roof that lasts for more than 50 years, a replacement should be an option.
When choosing among contractors in Utah, you should ask for at least three quotes from different service providers. You may also request to see their portfolio of completed work and ask previous clients for recommendations. Consider a renovation on the bathroom before moving onto the different areas of the house since remodeling multiple rooms at once can be overwhelming.
