LVP
LVP is a great choice for a basement, with one caveat. Expect some floor prep to be needed to get the cement slab within manufacturer specs for levelness. (TIP: Most builders do not prepare the basement slab to meet these requirements.) We just installed a Coretec LVP in the large basement of a Marietta home, almost 1300 square feet. Our client's "all in" price was a little over $11K. She is loving how easy her new floor is to take care of.
We also installed a CoreTec LVP in a 1067 sq ft basement of a Marietta home. The cost was a little over $7000 plus some prep/levelling that was needed.
The puzzle tiles are a relatively easy do-it-yourself installation. Each tile is 23" x 23" and is $21 per tile. We can also install it for you if you are not a DIYer.
Countertops
One slab of granite installed runs about $4500 installed. Other types of countertops will be more. Quartz prices vary, but usually one slab will run $6000 to $7000. There is a wide range in marble and quartzite pricing, but these stones tend to be at the higher end of spectrum.
Most slabs are around 50 square feet. A small kitchen is around 40 feet, a medium kitchen around 65 square feet, and a large kitchen can be 100 square feet or more. As you can see, many kitchens require more than one slab.
Ashen white granite is grey and white and is very popular for kitchens and bathroom vanities. A recent installation in a smallish Marietta kitchen was $3300. This did not include the cost of the plumber.
Window treatments
Sometimes knowing the price of different window treatment options makes the choice easier. And there is certainly a wide range of prices.
As an example, let's assume you want new coverings for the four windows in your living room. Each window is 36" x 60". The installed cost for these 4 windows for each type of window covering is approximately:
Honeycomb $1580 (Applause by Hunter Douglas)
Shutters $1999 (White wood shutters with 3 1/2" louvers by Allgood)
Roman Shades $3585 (Vingnette® by Hunter Douglas)
The type of window shades makes a difference on your budget, doesn't it? Of course, there are many other options to consider, for instance, the operating system, from corded to power, or light filtering to black out.
Over time, the higher priced options tend to pay for themselves because of the longevity of the product. However, this doesn't necessarily make you feel better when you write the initial check to pay for it!
This week we installed Hunter Douglas® Provenance Woven Woods Shades Fabric Coastal color Egret with light filtering liner, for a customer's bathroom. The one over the tub was PowerView and the other two other LiteRise. Her price was $3,100 for all three.
Laminate
We recently installed one of our favorite laminates - Mohawk RevWood Plus style Elegantly Aged color Aged Copper. If you like a medium toned floor, you will love this color. More brown than red, it works with most decors. We installed 660 square feet in a Vinings family room, two bedrooms, and hallway for $5200. This is an easy-care floor that will look great for years and years!
Bathrooms
We looked at our completed bathroom renovations this year 2023 and compiled this information:
Master Bath starting at $35,000
Guest Bath starting at $20,000
These prices do not include items that the client provided, for example, plumbing fixtures and vanities. Every job is different, but this gives you an idea of typical budget for your bathroom renovation.
