These ranges reflect typical projects in Pennsylvania and New Jersey as of 2024. Actual costs depend on specific project details. We recommend scheduling a free consultation for an accurate estimate tailored to your project.
We work with several financing partners and can help you explore options. We typically require a deposit to start work, with progress payments tied to project milestones. We're happy to discuss payment arrangements during your consultation.
Consider phasing your project, choosing mid-range materials for some elements while splurging on focal points, maintaining existing layouts to avoid moving plumbing/electrical, and timing your project for our slower season. We'll help you maximize value within your budget.
