FAQ

Question: What is an average price for remodeling a kitchen or bathroom?

Answer: Unfortunately there is no such thing as an average price when it comes to remodeling. Each job is different in regards to space, size, product, and the unique characteristics of your home. That’s why Design Tech Remodeling offers a free in home consultation. It gives us the opportunity to meet you, see the style of your home, and learn from you what you envision for your project. We also discuss the flow of the space, your goals for the project, and the budget you have allocated. Next, we develop a design solution for your project and give you estimates as the basis for further discussion.

Question: I have no idea what the cost of remodeling my kitchen or bathroom should be.

Answer: During your in-home consultation we will measure the area to be remodeled. With our company’s many years of experience, we have established a mathematical way of incorporating all aspects of the remodeling project into an estimate. This will include design, demolition, drywall, carpentry, cabinet installation, counter tops, flooring, as well as plumbing and electrical labor to give you an approximate cost of your particular project.

The fixed costs such as carpentry, drywall, plumbing, electrical are fairly accurate. The balance of the budget depends on the product selection and that varies from one customer to the next. How much you spend on the cabinets, appliances, counter tops, flooring, lighting (kitchen remodel) bath tub, faucets, sink, toilet (bathroom remodel) is up to you. During our discussions, we will advise and educate you on the different quality of products and help you make the perfect choice to fit your lifestyle and budget.
