Heartwood Renovations specializes in high-quality, custom renovations, so project costs vary based on scope, layout changes, materials, and finish selections.
As a general starting point, bathroom renovations typically range from $40,000 for a more straightforward project to $120,000+ for a luxury renovation. Kitchen renovations typically range from $110,000 for a more straightforward project to $190,000+ for a larger custom renovation.
An on-site consultation and custom estimate will provide a more accurate starting point for your project, but these numbers provide a good baseline for investment expectations.
