02 · What Affects Your Price

What Variables Adjust the Cost?

Where your project falls within our pricing ranges depends on your material selections and structural needs. Tap a category to see the details.

General Cost Drivers

Flooring selections

Carpet is our most cost-effective option. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and laminate sit in the middle. Hardwood and tile represent upper-middle to luxury investments.

Tile/hardwood vs. carpet can swing flooring cost up to 400%

Layout & mechanical changes

Keeping your existing layout costs less than removing load-bearing walls or relocating plumbing, gas, and electrical lines.

Kitchens & Basement Bars

Cabinets

The single largest expense in a kitchen or bar. Options range from standard entry-level up to fully customized luxury cabinetry.

Countertops

Low-end options include formica, laminate-faced, or butcher block. For stone, we offer quartz in tiers rated entry-level through high-end (tiers 0–5). Because granite is a natural material, we cannot provide standard samples, but it's generally an upper-middle to luxury investment.

Basement-Specific Factors

Behind-the-wall mechanicals

Roughly 15% to 25% of a basement budget is invested in hidden items like electrical, plumbing, HVAC adjustments, permits, and town inspections.

Ceiling style

A traditional drywall or drop ceiling costs 3 to 5 times more than an open, sprayed ceiling, due to the extensive material and labor required.

Bathrooms — Every Square Inch Counts

The shower/tub area

This is where your budget can swing the most. Entry-level uses a builder-grade prefabricated composite insert. Mid-range features decorative panel systems like Onyx or Wet Wall. The premium choice is a custom tiled shower.

Custom tiled shower: $5,000–$25,000 alone

Custom glass

Optional heavy custom shower glass typically ranges from $65 to $100+ per square foot.

03 · Our Process

Our Project Timeline Steps

To minimize disruption to your home, we follow a strict milestone calendar.

1

Design & Selections

We finalize layout plans and pick your exact materials.

2

Demolition & Prep

We tear out old structures safely and prep framing, plumbing, and wiring.

3

Construction & Install

Our team builds out the space, installs fixtures, and finishes surfaces.

4

Final Walkthrough

We inspect every detail together to guarantee your absolute satisfaction.

Timelines depend heavily on material delivery lead times and city permit approvals.

04 · Payment Structure

Clear Payment Terms

We protect your budget by splitting contract costs into predictable milestones, rather than one large lump sum. That means a deposit, a signing payment, a start-of-work payment, and periodic weekly payments dividing the remaining balance — so you always know where your project stands as you pay.

Deposit
Signing
Start of Work
Weekly Progress Payments

Because every home features distinct structural layouts and varying material lead times, the figures above are strictly baseline averages. Specific project details, mechanical upgrades, or supply chain shifts (such as a 2 to 6 week timeline variance for custom countertops) will dictate your actual project scope and cost.
