“So how much is this going to cost me?”

Home additions and home remodeling projects are unique situations, so the best way to determine “How much?” is to first establish an affordable budget for yourself and then find out what you get for your money.

How much you decide to spend on fixtures and finishes can make or break your budget. Individual style and taste varies as much as your budget. Again, general costs and ball park prices for home improvement projects are fairly public information and widely available online.
