How much does a structural addition or whole-home renovation cost in Noble Square?
Because Noble Square properties deserve quality finishes and careful structural handling on tight urban streets, comprehensive structural overhauls, open-concept updates, or rear footprint additions typically range from $120,000 to $450,000+.
Simpler structural updates, floor leveling, or finishing a lower level with deep water updates generally run between $55,000 and $115,000+, depending entirely on the square footage.
What is the cost and scope for a kitchen or bathroom remodel in Noble Square?
Modernizing a kitchen or bath in a historic area property often involves taking down a wall to open up the floor plan, updating hidden plumbing lines, and upgrading your main electrical panel to a code-compliant 200-amp service line.
Beautiful, custom kitchen and primary bathroom transformations in the neighborhood generally range between $30,000 and $100,000, based on the custom features and premium materials you choose.
