We’re very glad you found us and we’re looking forward to learning more about your project! Due to the intentionally small size of our company, we do charge a fee for formal estimates. Our fee ranges from $350 to $750 for full rehabs. If we are awarded the work, this goes back towards your project.
An estimate represents many hours of work and research for us and our trade partners. Charging a fee for our time typically results in a more accurate estimate for our clients - we can afford ourself the time to properly research your needs and the nuances of your project.
If you’re interested in working with us, please fill out our ‘first steps’ form (below). We’ll do our best to get back to you in a timely manner, but please keep in mind we are a tiny team :)
Our Estimate Process
How Much Will This Cost?
We’ve been advised against adding language like this to our website. We believe in transparency, though. Here are some ballpark figures for some of the services we perform. We often won’t ask for a budget before we generate an estimate - we want to create an unbiased proposal, rather than price to your upper limit.
Please keep in mind, these numbers are the start of a conversation, and that no two projects are the same!
Whole House Remodel: $250sf-$350sf
Each Project starts with architectural and structural drawings. We also have a great network of architects and designers who can help transfer your ideas onto paper.
We believe in electrification of mechanical systems, and investing in robust insulation, air sealing, and weatherization. There are hundreds of decisions to be made during a whole house remodel - we’ll help guide you along the way!
Primary Bathroom: $45k-$70k
This generally includes reconfiguring plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems and will take your space down to the studs. Our work is permitted and inspected by the city and third party companies for your peace of mind!
Powder Room: $20k-30k
For the remodel or addition of a powder room into your house. We’ve done a ton of these and enjoy the challenges of creating value and space in your Philly home.
Full Kitchen Remodel $80k - $130k
We’d argue that a kitchen is what makes a house a home. Even without getting too cheesy, these are the most used rooms in a house, and historically provide the greatest return on investment for resale. Sasha’s background is in the restaurant business and our company has worked in dozens of kitchens, both commercial and residential. We know what works, and how to get it done. Our pricing typically includes appliances, custom cabinets, countertops, and new mechanicals throughout. We strongly recommend working with a design professional, either yours or ours.
Basement $65k - $100k
Typical row home basements were never meant to be living space and present unique challenges. We’ll work with our crews to manage moisture, improve comfort, and create usable space for you and your family.
*We won’t underpin existing buildings. It’s a process we don’t believe is healthy for buildings or neighboring structures.
Facade: $15k-$45k
If you’ve seen our videos, you know how we feel about old brick. If you haven’t, we love it. Our facade restorations include removing paint, cleaning brick with gentle, non-acidic cleaners, and pointing with Lime Based Mortars. We won’t use latex paints on brick, but there are mineral and lime based washes that we will install. Prices generally do not include windows!
Basement Parging: $15k - $40k
If you’ve got a stacked stone foundation and a basement full of dust, parging might be the right solution. Too often, contractors or homeowners will stucco or layer on impermeable coatings that suffocate the structure (basements need to breathe)! Or prices include removing existing parging, pointing and repairing large voids, and installing lime-based mortars and plasters.
Starbolts: $1200-$1500/bolt
This does not include engineering fees or drywall repair!
Structural: TBD
There’s just too many variables. We can start by looking at your engineering documents. If you don’t have one, we’re happy to recommend a couple!
