Home Remodeling Cost Estimator

Wednesday, December 27, 2006

I found this handy little tool that can help you try to figure out how muchyour remodeling project is going to cost. No estimator is perfect because there are so many variables - the location of the project, the current cost of materials, and the quality of products used. But this tool could help give you an idea of how much you'll need to spend:

It can take a while to answer all the questions, but it could be the tool you need to help estimate your remodeling job.

The estimator is powered by HomeTech and keep in mind that it is for informational purposes only, as an educational product. It does not provide exact figures for your home renovation job. Also, if this estimator link has expired, you can register with HomeTech for a 30-day free trial.

What Can Affect Your True Cost?
  • The Homes Location: a remodeling job in one city, state or region of the country can cost more or less than in another part of the country. A roofing job in Charlotte is usually considerably less than a roofing job in San Francisco. Costs of materials and labor can be much higher in larger cities.
  • The Cost of Supplies: lumber, concrete, steel, and other materials can change from one quarter or year to the next. And prices of supplies can vary by region as it may cost more to ship to one state or the other.
  • The Projects Quality Level: for the sake of simplicity, there are usually 3 levels of quality (basic, mid-range, and upscale) which affect your projects price. Laminate flooring, pre-made cabinets, and tile countertops will usually cost less than hardwood floors, customized cabinets, and granite counters.
If it looks like you can go ahead with your home improvement project, you can always go to our main site at Construction Deal.com and find a quality contractor! It's free to be matched to local remodeling companies in your area. You'll receive multiple bids from several contractors which can save you money by helping you get the best bid! You're under no obligation to hire the companies that contact you -- and it will save you time of having to call all of those remodelers yourself (they'll call YOU!)
