Common Questions
How do I estimate remodeling costs?+
Break the project into phases: demo, structural, mechanical (plumbing/electrical/HVAC), finishes, and cleanup. Price each phase by materials and labor. Include a 10-15% contingency for unknowns. Whole-house remodels typically cost $100-$250 per sq ft; single-room renovations vary widely based on scope.
What markup should I charge for remodeling work?+
General contractors typically mark up 25-45% on remodeling projects. This covers project management, insurance, warranty, and profit. Markup on subcontractors is usually 15-20%. The more complex the project coordination, the higher your markup should be — customers are paying for your management expertise.
What should a remodeling estimate include?+
Include a detailed scope of work, itemized materials with allowances for owner selections, labor broken out by trade/phase, subcontractor costs, permits, dumpster/disposal, design fees if applicable, a contingency line item, project timeline, and payment schedule tied to milestones.
Why include a contingency in a remodeling estimate?+
Remodeling projects involve opening up existing structures where hidden conditions (water damage, outdated wiring, structural issues) are common. A 10-15% contingency covers these surprises without requiring a change order for every discovery. It protects both you and the homeowner from budget blowouts.
