Many publishers and “study groups” have invested heavily in producing statistics on the cost of remodeling and the big question of “Cost Recovery” and “Return on Remodeling Investment”. As you analyze the figures which vary by state and city, you will notice that it all depends on who’s figures are we using. If we were to read the figures from surveys of remodelers doing major work with higher than normal price ranges for fantasy projects beyond what the market can bear; then you, as a consumer, may never receive the return on investment you expect. On the other hand, your return on investment is almost always rewarded if you contract professional remodelers to do reasonable projects adopting reasonable pricing policies.

Here we are offering you a general Sneak-A-Peak on the budgets, then offering you tools to “price your own project” to help you in the budgeting exercise. Be certain that we will be there for you if you need us to help.

Decision time

Make sure when it is time to select your builder/remodeler that you look for:

•	Integrity of the company principals as this may be tested at times.
•	Experience and testimonials from happy customers.
•	Professional designations and the continuing education that comes with them are a sign of commitment to improve and stay current with the latest in products and techniques.
•	Reasonable prices are your insurance of getting the fair return on your remodeling investment.
