Hi Brownstoners,

I am considering buying a new construction 2BR apt and want to replace the overly modern finishings.

I am considering renovating:

Kitchen:
Putting in tile backsplash
New cabinetry
New faucet for sink

Bathrooms: (5×6 feet)
Retile floor and shower
Install new sink/vanity
New faucet, shower head

Lastly, a dream project would be to install hard wood floors on a room that is sized 10 x 40.

Do you have any sense of what we should budget for this type of renovation? I see some Brownstoners say that a kitchen reno could cost (minimum) anywhere from $5k – $15k depending on the cost of finishes, etc.

We’re definitely looking for a low-mid range renovation.

Any input would be super helpful.

Thanks!

  1. We are doing cool things with reclaimed hardwood flooring at a very reasonable rate. Have a look at these samples that we did from the wood of a old Tribeca factory.

    We also have other reclaimed and green building products if you are interested in adding a old world look to your new place.

    I all ways interested in talking about new projects and sharing ideas. We are doing renovation in way no others are attempting.

  2. Thanks so much! In the kitchen we would not be replacing the counters. They are ceasarstone and we like the look of them well enough.

    Yes, we would need to rip out existing tiles in the bathrooms to start completely fresh.

    Thanks so much for your help!

  3. Some more questions would need to be answered to get you a ballpark such as are you replacing counters also? Also to properly re-tile you would need to rip up the old tiles meaning that in the bathroom you are basically starting fresh. Overall to do the job right with a general contractor you are looking at close to 40k including the wood floors.
    Good luck.
