Estimating Costs to Remodel a Home | FULL BREAKDOWN

In this video we go through line by line what it costs to do a FULL home remodel. I have a lot of experience with this and one of the most common questions I get from friends and family is regarding how much everything costs, so I decided to break it all down in 1 video.
This was a fun video! We go through every line item on what it costs to remodel your home. This applies to people who are flipping houses or people who are just remodeling their own home. If you fall into either of those buckets, you are sure to find this video helpful. First we get into all of the boring mechanical stuff, but all items that are very important like plumbing and electrical for example. After that we get into the finishes and I walk you through each finish detail including flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, paint, and more. If you have questions about these home renovation expenses please let me know and I'd be happy to elaborate!
See you next video!

I hope this helps you estimate costs for your next home remodel!

[@meganswink5585]

That’s a really helpful video, thanks for putting all of those details together. And can’t wait to see your landscape job when it’s finished!

[@WagnerSaucedo]

Great breakdown of the costs man! Love the straightforwardness of this!

[@Trending.Stocks]

You summed it all up really well. Would show this video to anyone who is new to real estate!

[@Real.Estate.Report]

Thanks!

[@otherryan]

This was a great list and really to-the-point on how much everything will cost you, but worthwhile in the long run! Even though the kitchen is usually the "selling point" of a house, a good bathroom(s) is what sells it for me 😅 great stuff Scott!

[@Real.Estate.Report]

Hey everyone has their preferences! The bathroom, especially the master bathroom is important! I appreciate you watching!

[@Frugal101]

This is awesome u broke it down so well it will help and be a guide for those looking to do it in the near future 😀

[@akmclemore]

Knowing what the costs are before going in can save you headaches later on. Great guide bro! I'll definitely have to come back to this video when I buy my first flip/rental

[@Real.Estate.Report]

For sure! Let me know when the time comes and I'd be happy to help with any questions you have!

[@viclucy-personalfinanceinv7533]

This is so helpful! We've been trying to estimate costs for the house we just bought. Great video Scott, thank you for sharing all your experience and insights :)

[@Real.Estate.Report]

That is awesome! Congrats on your new home, let me know if you guys have any addition questions!

[@MiloneMoneyMindset]

Great info man! Seeming all of those cost really puts everything in perspective. Happy new year bro!

[@Real.Estate.Report]

Happy new year! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and breakdown on the costs!

[@MoementumFinance]

What a great video Scott, breaking down major costs to remodel a home completely and the estimated costs. 🙂 The costs of fixing Sewer system and remodeling kitchen is insane.

[@Real.Estate.Report]

Yes those are big ticket items for sure! The kitchen you at least to enjoy... the sewer system well, that's a little more "behind the scenes" haha

[@BensonGitau]

This is an incredible breakdown. I am looking into entering the house flipping gig and these videos are very helpful

[@Real.Estate.Report]

I'm glad it helped you out! Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help as you ramp up in the house flipping business!

[@RLFPowerCouple]

This is such a timely video for us! Trying to decide whether to buy a new home or buying an old home and remodeling.

[@Real.Estate.Report]

I’m glad it was timely for you guys! There are pros and cons to both options. Remodeling an old home can definitely test a couple’s patience LOL

[@DowsStockTalk]

Great video of giving us estimate on home repairs. It was really helpful

[@ELI5FI]

This is really helpful! Thanks for these pro tips 👍 I'm going to bookmark this video for when I do my master bath this year.

You are so amazing, clearly shown that you’re a real subject matter expert ✨🥳🎉 Have a good weekend buddy ✨🙏🏼

[@Real.Estate.Report]

I really appreciate that! Have a good weekend!

[@mrsickotrading]

Loved it bro

[@RomelBuildingWealth]

Great breakdown. One thing people should also make sure to include is the cost for removals (dumpster and trash removals as well as any permits that are required to make these changes).

[@Real.Estate.Report]

Very good point, those costs can easily add up to a few thousand more if you are doing a full renovation!

[@bankingamillion5658]

I was guessing the numbers before you said them as I was watching. Loved this video, great job!

[@Real.Estate.Report]

That is awesome! Curious to hear if the numbers are similar in your region?

[@JessieOpportunityCostInvesting]

Dang, it costs a house to remodel a house lol Definitely helps to think about all of these when deciding how I went to eventually enter real estate. Thanks for sharing Scott. I LOVE that you spent all of the time going in on these numbers. I can see how much work you put in this and I appreciate it!

[@Real.Estate.Report]

I appreciate the kind words Jessie! And yes this one took a bit longer to run around with the camera and get different angles but it was super fun!

[@WaysToWealth]

No matter what it almost seems like reno's go over budget! Thanks for the guidelines Scott!

[@Real.Estate.Report]

That's for sure! I've never had one come in under budget!

[@jordanaubrey-realestateinv334]

Great tips brother I love it rehabs makes a bigger check but most come with a headache for sure.

[@Real.Estate.Report]

Oh yeah lots of headaches along the way but worth it in the end!

[@InspirationFromThePast]

That was very useful, I will know where to find it when I need it next time thanks for sharing.

[@InspirationFromThePast]

@@Real.Estate.Report Nice to hear, I will keep that in mind.

[@ellaestaterealty]

Hmmm great video topic! Plus with current events I know the costs have risen for new construction homes but its becasue of cost of materials. Bet this extends to home improvement as well! Love the tour too. Great content!!

[@Real.Estate.Report]

Thank you! It's true prices have been driven up to crazy levels lately. It's so expensive to remodel or build new, and hard to find talented workers!

[@flawlix]

This is very helpful. We’re looking to buy, but most things in our price range are fixers in need of major systems renovations (in addition to all the cosmetic stuff). Trying to figure out how to budget for that when buying has been stressful. Your video reassured me that I probably haven’t overlooked a major budget item. Between inflation since this video was posted, higher costs in our area, permitting and sustainability requirements for our city and state, and our own preferences for certain upgrades, I suspect we’re looking at another $100k or so on top of what you broke down.

[@TheWealthPrince]

Excellent job man, no beating around the bush, just a direct breakdown Loved it! Thanks so much for sharing that! 🙏🏻 Keep up the good work!

This video is really helpful. Real estate investing takes a lot of money, but it’s definitely worth it.

[@Real.Estate.Report]

Yes it is Tim! Thanks for watching!

[@adamproceviat2285]

Good tip to do the mechanical stuff while the walls are open. Up in Canada it rains so much so people need to change their roofs more often. Cool record collection you have there. I like the white color scheme too. Nice and clean. Crazy how quick all these costs add up. Great video man!

[@Real.Estate.Report]

Thanks Adam! I didn't think about the impact the rain in Canada would have on the roof systems. And that record collection has been growing slowly for years! Every time I visit an antique store I buy another one or two.

[@adamproceviat2285]

@@Real.Estate.Report That's a fun thing to collect! #nostalgia

[@Real.Estate.Report]

For sure.. I’m an old soul I guess haha!

[@sometimesthereisnocoloraro108]

roof replacement for 8K ?!?!?! omg.. would love that... Im from Iceland.. for your size house, it would be approximately 46k USD .. just to change the roof---- so.. sewers around 25k pipes around 25k elec. wires 30k so .. around 40k USD in US the same job would be around 120-150k usd in Icealand.. :(

[@RyanHarrisonYT]

Great video Scott! As someone who is looking to get into real estate within the next 1-2 years as an investment, I really appreciate the breakdown of all the different costs, since the whole thing is a little over my head right now haha! Keep it up man!

Nice sharing. Friend here from the Philippines. God bless

[@theandrewdelgado]

What about gutters, down spout, exterior paint, concrete, etc?

[@TheLaughingLion]

What's up my fellow desert dweller! Wow the sewer system repair sucks. So do you put everything on a spreadsheet and work it out from there?

[@Real.Estate.Report]

Hey! Yep I live by spreadsheets when it comes to analyzing and underwriting deals!

[@wilbertmeaway6405]

I keep telling my wife that it’s gonna cost 100k to remodel our house but she thinks I’m playin 😭😭 like why would I play about spending 100k.. and that’s with me doing the flooring, landscaping and new concrete driveway by myself 😭😭 somebody say a prayer for me lol

[@RJFinancial]

I need to replace an HVAC before summer hits... not looking forward to that hit. Informative video as always sir. $120k is a lot but as you know, it's not actually that bad if your going bargain hunting on the housing market. You're either going to pay the $120k in renovations or on the purchase price if its been done. At least this way it can be to your standards and style you know will sell.

[@Real.Estate.Report]

Yep that's exactly right RJ... its either you buy it knowing it needs gutted or you pay a premium because somebody else has done all of the hard work. Sorry to hear you've got that big cap ex coming soon... but the good news is that you won't have anything to worry about for a while once it's replaced!

[@AberrantArt]

Can you do an updated version with 2023 prices?

[@unorthodoxsavings9552]

The example house you used is actually the same as my rental house 😂 things are slightly more expensive in New Jersey but everything still seemed about right, I find that a lot of different contractors in my state vary in price and the time it takes to finish the job. does Arizona have that same problem where you have to shop around different people?

[@Real.Estate.Report]

Ha that's perfect, I was hoping this example would apply to a lot of people and investors! I definitely interview 2-3 contractors for all of my bigger jobs. And when they know you are shopping, they tend to be more aggressive with their pricing!

[@xbellabutterflyx]

How accurate would these pricing be for 2023. Also on the trim replacement is that including any crown molding or just baseboards? I am currently starting a flip and I am not sure if the prices I am given are correct. Besides multiple quotes any other recommendations? Thanks a lot for this great video.

[@xenakaifinancevideos8650]

Remodeling is soooooooo expensive! wow

[@Real.Estate.Report]

I know it's nearly twice as expensive as just a few years ago!

[@strawberryme08]

paint is tricky because spraying everything one color is one thing if you want two tone and have it done it gets 10-20k doesn't it? We will need it done before we move in. My grandparents house needs ceiling repair and redo work ugh... and we live in another state. Need it done for us before we can move in :( my other thought is wood prices are up which may change this a lot.

[@AncientMusicVideos]

you really were meant to be a teacher my friend!

[@Real.Estate.Report]

[@productivewallace]

Also depends on if you're a slumlord :)

Not sure what you mean by that!

[@generic7929]

Do these prices include labor?

[@turisteandoentexas]

👌

[@lilbfrom614]

At 1:30 how did you do that !? 🤯

[@ericabalko916]

Amazing video too bad those numbers aren’t today’s numbers! 😭

[@collinmiller8866]

lol 2 years later its more like double everything

[@Calebw753]

Triple all of the numbers he said to be closer to the actual cost.

[@Chargers-my3dx]

Your costs sound to low.

[@bondpit8750]

Very complete breakdown. I noticed quite a bit of cost variation on certain items between where you are and here in the midwest. Just as an example, you couldn’t trim a 1600 sq ft home here, even using cheap MDF, for double what you quoted. You must be using illegals, lol. Seriously though, I’m curious about having to trench through the house for new water and sewer. Aren’t the foundation slabs prestressed concrete and cabled due to the soli conditions present in AZ. How does that work?

[@madmike7934]

So 120k for remodeling and what was your price for that house ?
