Home renovation costs in Greater Boston fluctuate based on project scale, intricacy, project dimensions, and desired finish quality.

Modest updates, such as painting, new flooring, and cosmetic adjustments, generally begin at $100–$300 per square foot. However, comprehensive remodels featuring structural modifications, wet areas, or premium materials can elevate expenses to $400–$800 per square foot and beyond.

For popular transformations, anticipate kitchen overhauls to fall between $32,000 and $56,000, and bathroom refreshes from $30,000 to $53,000. These figures are illustrative; actual expenditures are influenced by material selections, project nuances, and unforeseen issues like plumbing or electrical upgrades.

The timeline for a home renovation can vary significantly depending on the project's scope, the size of the home, and the complexity of the work. Additional factors, such as permitting approval wait times, material availability, and unforeseen issues, can also impact the schedule. Generally, you should expect to spend at least 1 week in the planning phase, where you’ll establish your goals, budget, and gather ideas. The design phase, whether you work with a designer or choose the design and materials on your own, typically lasts around 2–6 weeks, but this can vary based on project complexity. The pre-construction phase usually lasts 5–12 weeks, though timelines can differ widely depending on material lead times, project scope, and permitting or approval processes. The construction stage, which includes everything from demolition to project completion, may take a few weeks to several months for smaller projects, while large-scale remodels can extend from several months to over a year.
