How should I budget for a full first floor remodel?

For a comprehensive first floor remodel in South Jersey:

  • Allocate 35-40% for kitchen renovations
  • 20-25% for main living spaces
  • 15-20% for entryway/foyer improvements
  • 10-15% for powder room updates
  • Always include a 15-20% contingency fund (and don’t forget about window treatments and furnishings!)

A typical 1,200-1,800 sq. ft. first floor remodel ranges from $120,000-250,000, depending on finishes and complexity (our skilled crew is very adamant about using high-quality materials and professional attention to detail – we want our work to stand the test of time!) Consider phased project timelines if budget constraints exist.
