Whether you’re looking to remodel your kitchen, bathroom, or entire home, we know cost is always a concern. In every aspect of our business, JET Construction strives to be completely honest and transparent, and that includes pricing. However, there’s no easy and simple answer when it comes to the many variables and particularities of remodeling. That’s why we’ve put together this guide, breaking down the different costs and benefits of a remodel, as well as alternate solutions and answers to questions we are commonly asked.

The Average Cost of a Remodel
You may have seen estimates for remodeling costs online or elsewhere. Unfortunately, these estimates tend to be useless outside of very loose guidelines. As we’ve already mentioned, remodeling costs are so variable that there’s no simple way to calculate them on the fly. Plus, prices change so quickly that estimates quickly become outdated.
You really need to consult local experts and be very specific about your needs for the remodel so you can be properly informed. We always consider the remodel price from multiple angles, and walk you through each aspect to make sure you have a full insight into why the work costs what it does.


Does Remodeling Really Increase Home Value?
The short answer is yes, absolutely. It’s important to remember that you will recover a significant portion of your remodel spending in increased home value. Statistics show that most remodeling projects in this area can expect to recover at least 60% of their cost through resale value, often more. Just an example, if you remodel your kitchen for $88K, and recover the expected 64.2% of that investment, you’ll only be spending $31K in the long term. Remodels are an investment, and should be considered in that context.
A Very Rough Remodeling Pricing Estimate
It’s incredibly difficult to get a realistic estimate on a remodel until we’ve inspected the area, talked about details and materials, and accounted for complexities. However, we know you’d like to get a general idea of the price of your remodel. The following should give you a very rough estimate, including a reasonable buffer of unexpected costs.

The Hidden Costs of Remodeling
When planning for a remodel, it’s easy to make the mistake of only thinking about material and labor costs. Below are some of the more easily forgotten aspects of a remodel’s cost. Beware contractors who underbid and don’t plan ahead for these eventualities. If someone offers you a shockingly low price, investigate to find out just why it is so low.
Backend Services: Every contracting job wouldn’t be possible (or would take much longer) without the support of accounting, maintenance, legal, insurance, and many other support services.
Hidden Surprises: We can encounter structural problems like mold and water damage during our work, which will need to be addressed before moving forward. Even besides the normal wear and tear your home might encounter before our arrival, it’s best to expect the unexpected.
Mistakes and Errors: Sometimes, the people we work with make mistakes, damaging materials during shipment or failing to come through with a promised rate. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we make mistakes ourselves, as we are only human. If it isn’t covered by insurance, we have to cover it ourselves through the cost of the remodel.
Profit: While it would be a nice idea to provide our work at cost, we need to make a profit so we can continue to pay our employees, stay in business, and keep providing great service to everyone in need of a remodel.
What JET Construction Brings to the Table

Our company stands out among similar contractors for a few different reasons. First, we have the experience to deliver the remodel you’re dreaming of. By reviewing our recent projects, you’ll see that we habitually create spectacular new rooms for all styles and purposes. We’ve seen just about everything during our on-the-job experiences, so we are prepared to handle any problems that might unexpectedly arise.
​
Furthermore, our labor, systems, and materials are protected by warranty. We are dedicated to making sure that the job is done right from day one, but if any problem does later occur, these warranties protect you and decrease later spending.
​
Finally, our business is entirely client-oriented. That means we keep in constant communication with you, showing you how progress on the work is going, where we’re getting slowed down, and where we’re ahead of schedule. After we’re finished, we do a full walkthrough of the remodel area with you just to confirm that you’re satisfied with the job and that we didn’t miss anything.

Can’t You Lower Costs Through DIY Work?
Let’s be honest. The internet offers more information than ever, and that includes plenty of DIY tips and tutorials. If you’re handy enough, well-prepared, have lots of time, and have the right tools, you might be able to take care of some remodeling tasks on your own. However, you’re gambling quite a bit on that “if”.
​
Mistakes can quickly spiral out of control in this line of work. If you don’t have the experience to be able to avoid common pitfalls, you’re bound to waste time and materials learning the ropes. You can even seriously damage your pipes, electrical work, or home structure, requiring repairs that will balloon the cost far, far beyond that of any contractor.
​
And unless you’re lucky enough to not need to work, you’ll have to fit in the DIY job after hours and on weekends. Forget about relaxing, and forget about having the room in working order within a few weeks. It’s astounding how quickly a “weekend project” spills into months of labor and wishing you just had a regular working kitchen again.
​
So yes, in honesty, the well-prepared DIY remodeling project can sometimes go well and save you money. But chances are much greater that you will find yourself out of your depth, struggling, and end up needing to hire someone to fix or finish the job. 9 times out of 10, you’ll end up spending more doing it yourself.
