Kitchens and bathrooms are the meat and potatoes of home renovations. They are the most common spaces that people renovate whether they update them one room at a time or as part of a whole home remodel. Therefore to understand renovation pricing, a great place to start is by familiarizing yourself with the costs of updating these key spaces. Bathroom renovations costs start between $16,000 and $31,000 and kitchen renovations costs start between $21,000 and $60,000, depending on the room size, project location, project complexity, labor required, and quality of finish materials.

Write up a home renovation wish list and categorize the items into "must haves" and "nice-to-haves". Write a sentence or two about your how you envision living and thriving in your remodeled space. Set a budget range with room for contigency. Share this information with your contractor and collaborate to determine what your budget allows and how to get the most out of your home transformation!
