Remodeling can breathe new life into an older home and significantly increase its value. However, costs can vary wildly. Here is a realistic look at remodeling costs in Northwest Florida.
Full Home Remodels
A comprehensive 'gut' remodel—where we take the house down to the studs, update electrical and plumbing, change the floor plan, and install all-new finishes—typically ranges from $100 to $200+ per square foot.
If you are simply doing a 'pull and replace' cosmetic update (new floors, paint, updating cabinets without moving walls), costs are significantly lower.
Kitchens and Bathrooms
Kitchens and bathrooms provide the highest ROI but are the most expensive rooms to renovate. A high-end custom kitchen remodel usually ranges from $40,000 to $85,000+, depending on luxury appliances, custom cabinetry, and structural changes.
A luxury master bathroom remodel, featuring custom tile work, a walk-in shower, and high-end fixtures, typically falls between $25,000 and $50,000.
The Unseen Costs
When remodeling older homes in Pensacola or Milton, we often uncover issues behind the drywall—such as outdated aluminum wiring, cast iron plumbing that needs replacing, or hidden water damage.
We always recommend setting aside a 10-15% contingency fund to cover these unforeseen issues. Our team is experienced in handling these surprises efficiently to keep your project moving.
