Embarking on a home renovation is one of the most rewarding ways to enhance your space, increase your home’s value, and improve day-to-day functionality. Whether you are planning a kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, or a full-scale home remodeling project, understanding the renovation budget and setting clear expectations is essential.
At Cruz Development, we specialize in designing and delivering stunning, custom-built spaces with a focus on remodeling cost efficiency and craftsmanship. But before jumping into your next home renovation project, let’s walk through what you should know about how much to spend—and how to make every dollar count.
General Guidelines: How Much Should You Spend on a Remodel?
A good starting point is to plan your remodeling budget based on a percentage of your home’s current value. Industry professionals recommend allocating 5% to 15% of your property’s worth for a remodel. For example:
- For a $300,000 home, an average renovation budget could range from $15,000 to $45,000.
- For larger or luxury homes, the remodeling cost may climb higher depending on scope and finishes.
These ranges help maintain balance between improving your home and protecting its resale value. A well-executed home renovation not only enhances how your home looks and feels but also increases its appeal on the real estate market.
What Affects the Cost of a Remodel?
Several factors impact your total cost:
- Scope of Work: Are you refreshing paint and fixtures or making significant structural changes? A minor remodel typically costs less, while a full gut renovation will raise the cost estimate.
- Square Footage: The larger the space, the more materials and labor costs involved. The cost per square foot can vary widely depending on the type of remodeling project.
- Material Cost: High-end tile, flooring, and finishes elevate your renovation cost—but they also boost home equity.
- Labor Cost: At Cruz Development, we handle all labor in-house to avoid unnecessary markup and lower your overall cost.
- Timeline: Longer projects drive up both material cost and labor cost. We aim to complete projects efficiently to minimize delays and unexpected expenses.
Key Remodeling Areas and Their Value
Kitchen Remodeling
A kitchen remodel is often the most expensive type of home improvement, but it delivers the highest return. Upgrading layout, appliances, lighting, and surfaces in a kitchen renovation modernizes your home and enhances functionality.
Bathroom Remodel
A bathroom remodel or bathroom renovation is a smart investment for families and future resale. Fresh tile, improved lighting, and upgraded fixtures can be done on a more modest remodel budget.

Completely transforming a home through a full house renovation involves greater investment but offers dramatic results—turning outdated layouts into personalized, luxury spaces.
