What affects the price
When you plan a whole-home renovation, your final budget depends on several moving parts. The biggest factor is the scope of work—are you moving walls and updating plumbing, or just refreshing surfaces? The materials you choose, from high-end custom cabinetry to standard finishes, play a massive role as well.

Frequently asked in Santa Rosa
What is the 30% rule in remodeling?
The 30% rule isn't a strict guideline, but a general idea that major renovations should ideally add value. Discussing your project's potential ROI with the pros can clarify how it aligns with your goals.
What is the difference between renovating and remodeling?
Renovating usually means restoring a space to its original or good condition, like fixing up an older bathroom. Remodeling involves changing the layout or function, such as knocking down a wall to create an open-concept living area in your Santa Rosa home. Both require skilled professionals to execute properly.
Is it cheaper to buy a house or remodel?
This is a common dilemma for Santa Rosa homeowners. Buying a new home comes with closing costs and potentially higher initial prices, while remodeling your current property allows you to customize it. The cost comparison depends on the market and the extent of the work needed.
What is the 30% rule for renovations?
Similar to the 30% rule in remodeling, this suggests focusing renovation efforts on areas that offer the best return on investment. For instance, enhancing curb appeal or updating kitchens and bathrooms often yields good results. The specialists can advise on high-impact projects for your home.
It might cover a large kitchen and master bath renovation, or even more extensive updates like flooring, painting, and fixture replacements throughout. The exact scope will determine the final cost.
