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!

    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.

    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.

Need it done for us before we can move in :( my other thought is wood prices are up which may change this a lot.

    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?
