Here are the top 6 factors that drive cost:

1. LAYOUT AND AGE OF HOME

The basement serves as an extension of the home, where families gather and play. If this use is to be accommodated, it may be necessary to relocate the structural elements and the plumbing in the basement. This will obviously increase the cost of the project. Taking into consideration the budget is not the only issue; other factors such as the age of the home, water intrusion, radon, and uneven concrete need to be considered as well.

2. BASEMENT FEATURES

A custom bar can make turn your basement into an entertainment space. Custom cabinets, wet bars, backsplashes, and appliances will affect cost. A fireplace is a perfect way to make your basement the coziest space in the house. You’ll want to account for the cost of stone, a mantel, a gas line, and power when budgeting.

3. SPECIALTY ROOMS

If you choose to finish your basement later, we can add unique rooms such as wine cellars, gyms, and craft rooms. You name it, we’ll build it. Depending on their materials, equipment, finishes, plumbing, and electrical systems, customized spaces may cost more or less.

4. BATHROOMS

You can make your basement more convenient, luxurious, and complete by adding a bathroom. However, constructing a bathroom is expensive since water and electricity are needed. Finding out how much plumbing and access your basement has will help you estimate the cost.

5. ELECTRICAL AND APPLIANCES

Add appliances such as a kegerator, pizza oven, and microwave to your basement to make it more convenient for your guests. Mechanical upgrades are often overlooked when upgrading appliances. We can estimate the cost of these upgrades.

6. EGRESS WINDOWS & CODE COMPLIANCE

Historic Homes

What Makes A Historic Home?

Historic home remodeling can update older homes while maintaining their historic charm. Different types of projects can be considered historic homes. Those built before 1970 are considered historic homes by FBC Remodel.

Due to their custom nature, historically significant remodels can be more expensive and take longer to complete. Find out how historic remodel prices are calculated.

THE TOP 6 FACTORS THAT DRIVE COST

1. BRINGING YOUR HOME TO CODE

It is common for historic homes to increase in value throughout the entire process, whether the condition of the house is very old or existing remodeling items aren’t completed properly. The process of bringing an older house up to code can be difficult and involve extra steps that are not required in a modern home. You can add insulation to the house in addition to adding egress windows, adjusting the ceiling heights, and rewiring it.

2. SPECIALTY TRADES

If a plumber or HVAC contractor works on a historic home in Minneapolis, they need a special license. These trades tend to be more expensive because of their expertise and the complexity of working in a historic house.

3. CEILING HEIGHTS

It is generally required to have at least 7′ of ceiling height, especially in basements. Some cities won’t allow construction until you reach this ceiling height, which usually means digging down or moving pipes that cause low ceilings.

4. UPGRADING MECHANICS & ELECTRICAL

Updating a historic home’s plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems is necessary. There may be a need to rewire, clean up electrical wiring, add plumbing, and install a subpanel.

5. LEAD & ASBESTOS

Our construction and living projects are tested for lead and asbestos in order to create a safe environment. It is common to find lead and asbestos in historic homes. Most homes built before 1978 contain lead, while modern homes may contain asbestos. These issues can result in significant expenses for the homeowner.

6. FLOORING

In older homes, there is a greater need for brand new floors than simply replacing the existing ones. Most historic homes need their floors leveled, as well as waterproofing and drain tiles, both of which can be very expensive.

Home Additions

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

If your home is ready to grow, a home addition may be the right remodel service for you. This includes adding new external structures to expand the square footage of your home. If you love your location, and love your existing space, but just need more room, a home addition is the service for you. Find out what to expect for the costs of a home expansion in Naperville, IL.

$200K Entry Range
$250 – $400K Average Range
$400K+ Top of Range

Here are the top 6 factors that drive cost:

1. ARCHITECTS & ENGINEERING

Due to the extensive engineering and architectural needs included in the design-build of a home addition, an architect will be brought into the FBC Remodel process. This inclusion of an architect will typically require an additional fee and include the development of architectural documents and plans for construction. An architect will be able to identify what is structurally possible for the design especially when it comes to expanding existing spaces.

2. CLIMATE CONTROL

Climate Control is a must-have for any home addition. This includes setting up heating and air conditioning for the new space, which may include significant costs if it’s not possible to utilize existing climate control features from the current home. For example, if your heating furnace is currently located in a basement, it may require extensive excavation to connect that furnace to a new structure. Isolated systems are also alternative options.

3. PLUMBING & ELECTRIC

Similarly to climate control, plumbing and electricity are major cost drivers due to the potential need to build from scratch, rather than work off existing structures or wiring. Depending on the type of rooms in your addition (bathroom or owner’s suite), plumbing may add a significant cost to your addition.

4. EXTERNAL STRUCTURE

There are additional costs included in simply building an external structure from the ground up. This includes needing to construct a new foundation, walls, and roof, versus a remodel, which is able to utilize existing structures and in some cases, not touch those structures beyond paint or wallpaper.

5. EXTERNAL MATERIALS

With the addition of a new external structure, comes the need for new external materials which may add a significant cost to your home addition. Matching existing materials can add cost, and if the existing materials can’t be matched, you may find the significant cost with the need to completely re-do the exterior of the entire home.

6. CABINETRY

Depending on the type of rooms included in your home addition, cabinetry may become a significant cost for your project. If a kitchen or owner’s bathroom is included, bringing in a full set of new cabinets can tack on thousands to your project.
