PITTSBURGH HOME REMODELING

The average cost of a home remodel in Pittsburgh depends on the square footage and what rooms are being renovated. A Pittsburgh  home remodel on average should cost between $10,000 to over $1,000,000 depending on the project.

If you're trying to do a quick flip and sell or remodel on the cheap in hopes of making your money back later, it probably won't pay off. A quality remodel will give you and your family the best value for the best price. It will last longer, be more enjoyable, and still recoup some costs if you ever decide to sell. 

Older Pittsburgh homes can definitely benefit from remodeling while newer homes may just need a light refresh. No matter what home you're in, it's "worth it" to remodel if you create a beautiful space that you love and enjoy.

Here are four common mistakes you can avoid when remodeling your home in the Pittsburgh area:

1. Doing it yourself. Remodeling (especially older homes) can be complicated, and unless you are a contractor, we highly recommend hiring a professional.
2. Neglecting permits. You always the proper permits for any Pittsburgh remodel. Don't skip this step.
3. Losing your reasons. Why are you renovating? What is important to you? Don't compromise on what you truly want
4. Being unrealistic. Prices may be higher. It may take longer. Unforeseen circumstances will come up. Be prepared, and you'll come out with the best remodel!

Avoid these mistakes, and you have a great shot at a wonderful remodeling experience.
