Construction Costs

Lets Talk Pricing For What We Do

Every home and every remodel is different. At Modern Carpentry Seattle, we understand that no two projects are ever the same. The overall cost of a renovation depends on several key factors, including the age and condition of your home, any structural changes required, necessary electrical or plumbing updates, and the level of finishes and fixtures you choose.

Because of these variables, there is no universal price per square foot that accurately reflects remodeling work in Seattle. A 1920s Craftsman in Ballard will have very different needs compared to a newer home in Magnolia, and that is what makes each project unique.

We know homeowners like to plan with realistic expectations. Based on our recent projects in the Seattle area, we can provide general budget ranges to help guide your decision-making. Once we understand your vision, we will create a detailed estimate tailored to your home, scope, and design goals.

Cost Estimation for a variety of typical Modern Carpentry Projects

Kitchens: $140K – $300K+ Based on size, fixtures, finishes, and structural work
Small Bathrooms: $75K – $95K single sink, one toilet, one tub/shower
Large Bathrooms: $115K – $175K+ double vanities, separate tub and shower
Basement to ADU Conversions: $300K+ depending on the existing conditions
Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADUs): $400K – $850K+
Whole House Renovations and Additions: Starting at $550K for smaller one story homes and easily reaching $1M, $2M,

These are just estimates based on past work and general pricing for the Seattle area. Let us sit down with you and discuss your specific project in more detail to help us understand what you are trying to achieve in terms of space, materials and complexity of your renovation. These estimates are to give you a sense for what you are going to expect in terms of the necessary budget to complete projects with many moving parts. Moving of things such as plumbing, heating and electrical impact how changing the layout can effect the overall cost. Our design team will work with you to help steer you in the right direction on ways to save labor and materials for the best use of your budget.
