WHAT DOES A TYPICAL OLDER HOME REMODEL COST?

Project Type

Description

Complete Bathroom Remodel
$20,000 and up

Because Classic Homeworks primarily works on Denver's older homes, it is both common and recommended that the old galvanized and lead pipes be upgraded to copper and ABS. We also "highly" recommend that a good exhaust fan be installed in the ceiling and exit through the roof. Often, we will replace the window and move the plumbing and fixtures around to make better use of the limited space. All this, as well as the above work, is included in the Complete Bathroom Remodel.

Master Suite
Bathroom Remodel
$35,000 and up

Master suite bathroom remodels are typically five piece bathrooms as opposed to the standard bathroom normally consisting of three pieces. The Master suite contains two sinks, toilet, shower & tub. There is also typically more space to work with and they often include nicer finishes.

Basic Kitchen Remodel
$55,000 and up

If your kitchen was remodeled relatively recently, so that the plumbing and electrical are up to building code, AND the cabinet configuration and appliance location is okay, then we can remove and replace the cabinets, countertops, flooring and any other finishes and replace them with all new products in the same location. Sometimes we will "discover" a good looking wood floor under the existing linoleum if yours is an older home. This approximate price includes a laminate countertop.

Complete Kitchen Remodel
$65,000 and up

If your kitchen has not been upgraded in a long time, or was not remodeled properly, then you will probably need to upgrade your electrical service, install new plumbing, and install an exhaust vent system. It is also quite possible that a considerable amount of work may be necessary to finish the floors, walls and ceilings. Often with a complete kitchen we will relocate the appliances and even move structural walls to create the best possible kitchen configuration for your home.

Basement
$65,000 and up

In older homes, this work often requires bringing your electrical system, plumbing, and heat up to code or at least improved and maintenance free. Once we have removed the unnecessary walls, re-routed and repaired the mechanical systems, then we can create for you anything from a luxurious master suite, home entertainment center, work out room, family room or additional bedrooms. Check with us to see how your basement can be transformed into a well lit and comfortable addition to your home.

Additions
$250 per square foot and up

Classic Homeworks has received some prestigious awards and created impressive changes to our clients' homes over the years for design and construction of additions. Whether it be a small backyard addition or a full second-story, we are capable of creating for you the space and environment you want and need.

Whole House Renovations
$100 per square foot and up

Every so often we meet someone who has purchased a great house in a great neighborhood that needs significant work to turn it into a home they want to live in. There are many factors to consider when pursuing this type of project and it is recommended that you not start any work without a "master plan" for the entire home.

Vinyl or Fiberglass Window Replacements
$500 and up each

Classic Homeworks is a dealer for several high quality window products. These energy efficient windows upgrade the appearance and performance of your home significantly.

Wood Window Replacements
$850 and up each

Classic Homeworks is on the few local companies to offer a complete sash-only replacement program using full frame window sets with exterior clad and interior paint grade or stain grade pine. You are not stuck with the same color in every room and on the inside as well as the outside. NOTE: This window comes with a frame. We DO NOT recommend installation of sash-only kits.

KEEP IN MIND THE FAMOUS LAWS OF ECONOMICS

1. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
2. THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH

THE RULES OF COMMON SENSE

It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little.

When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that is all.  When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.

The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done.

If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

- John Ruskin, English art critic and writer (1819-1900)

This is as true today as it was 100 years ago.
