To some, a whole home remodel might mean all new finishes to update the style and color palette, yet letting the original floor plan remain. To others, it's a complete overhaul— new walls, reimagined layouts, and a few extra rooms to boot! Such diverse approaches naturally bring about a wide range of costs. So, in true Hopedale fashion, we're about to demystify the tab. We'll walk you through room-by-room revamps, addition aspirations, and even a dash of exterior upgrades you might want to sprinkle into the mix. As a bonus, we're also going to give whole home remodel cost averages in different Charlotte neighborhoods.
Because the definition of a whole home remodel can vary so much from homeowner to homeowner, the average range to remodel a whole home in Charlotte can be between $300K to $1M. So much goes into figuring the cost; such as the size of your home, the scope of work, the age of your home, and the finishes you choose. To get a better idea of where your cost might land, we're going to break down these overall averages into individual rooms and what they could include.
Keep in mind that this is a great place to start; however, contacting Hopedale Builders about remodeling your Charlotte home is an even better way to find out what your remodel could cost and get any of your important questions answered.
You might be wondering what’s included in each room in the whole home remodel numbers. We're going to hit the most common rooms homeowners are looking to remodel to build a budget base, if you will.
A luxury bathroom remodel can cost an average of $80K to $130K. You could expect every finish and fixture to be removed to make way for high-end upgrades. Imagine a new curbless shower with plenty of room for a built-in bench and body spray fixtures. Replace your old dingy tile flooring with wood-look ceramic tile or marble tile. Create a statement wall with beautiful Zelige tile in a sea-inspired blue-green. No bathroom remodel is complete without the proper custom storage vanity and cabinets to stow away all your toiletries and linens.
When your home is lacking in bathroom space, a bathroom addition is a necessary item on the whole home remodel list. The type of bathroom you add will depend on your needs, of course. The costs here, however, will pertain to a full bathroom or primary suite bathroom. The cost range for adding a full bathroom in Charlotte could be from $150K to $225K, depending on the size of the bathroom and the finishes and features you choose.
Kitchen remodels can range from replacing every finish, appliance, and fixture to rearranging the layout, opening the floor plan, and reallocating space from a nearby dining room. The average cost range for a kitchen remodel in Charlotte can range from $120K to $200K and, as usual, will depend on a host of factors. A few options our clients like to include in their luxury kitchen remodels are:
When even a layout change in your kitchen won't relieve daily frustration, it's time to consider expanding the square footage. When you add space, you can increase storage, add an island or two, add a butler's pantry, and add those sought-after appliances you always dreamed of having. To expand your kitchen as well as remodel the entire space, expect a cost range of $200K to $300K.
Of course, not all whole home remodels will include adding a completely new primary suite. However, if your home is older, chances are it lacks this modern-day necessity. Adding a primary suite (with a bedroom, bathroom, and dressing room) onto your Charlotte home will cost an average of $300K and could include features like:
Exterior additions can increase your quality of life exponentially. Imagine cooking and dining outdoors on a warm spring night, hosting a Super Bowl party in your outdoor living room, and keeping all your pool essentials (including wet feet) in your pool house. The possibilities for each of these additions are nearly endless. For the sake of having a basis for costs, here are their averages:
Each outdoor addition can include smart features, weatherization for extreme temperatures, high-end appliances for convenience, and gorgeous finishes throughout.
To give you a better idea of the different costs across the city for whole home remodels, we’ve sampled some of the most popular Charlotte neighborhoods, their average home prices, and what a whole home remodel might cost given the information above.
Remodeling an entire home in the Southpark neighborhood could range from around $600K to over $1M, if you include most of the remodels on this list and an exterior addition. Of course, adding more projects will increase the price, but it will also increase your home's functionality and beauty.
In Lansdowne, a whole home remodel could cost from around $500K to over $1M. The higher end of this price range includes an exterior addition, like an outdoor kitchen. The lower end of the remodel cost range reflects a remodel that doesn't include an addition but will completely update the home's style and include minor layout changes.
Remodel your entire Beverly Woods home for around $500K to $1M. You're likely to hit the higher end of the range when you include outdoor additions and expand the square footage of your home. The lower end reflects retaining your home's square footage and forgoing an outdoor addition.
The neighborhood of Mountainbrook features larger homes, so the cost ranges will also run a bit higher to reflect the larger footprint. The cost to remodel an entire home in the Mountainbrook neighborhood could range from $700 to $1.2M and higher.
