Trusted Home Addition and Remodeling Contractor in Boca Raton, FL

Remodeling costs vary widely by project type and scope. 2026 ranges for luxury projects: kitchen remodel $100,000–$300,000+; master bathroom remodel $75,000–$130,000+; whole home remodel $150–$400+ per square foot; home addition $300–$600+ per square foot; whole condo remodel $150–$350+ per square foot; outdoor living space $75,000–$300,000+. These are remodel-level costs — projects that change layout, structure, or function. A renovation (cosmetic updates) runs significantly less. Costs in Boca Raton carry a South Florida premium for hurricane-rated materials, licensed labor, and permit compliance. Bluestone provides a detailed project-specific budget after our initial consultation.

A renovation — refreshing finishes and surfaces in the existing layout — is significantly less expensive than a remodel because it doesn't involve structural changes, plumbing relocation, new electrical runs, or full architectural design work. A luxury kitchen renovation might run $40,000–$80,000. A luxury kitchen remodel (moved walls, relocated plumbing, fully reconfigured floor plan, custom cabinetry) can run $100,000–$300,000+. The right choice depends on whether your problem is how your space looks (renovation) or how it functions (remodel). Bluestone helps every client make this determination before committing to a scope and budget.

We provide a detailed, budget estimate after our initial consultation and a thorough review of your space and goals. We don't provide ballpark numbers in a first meeting because they're rarely accurate and often mislead homeowners into budgeting incorrectly. After the consultation, we develop a preliminary scope and budget range. If you choose to proceed to design, a detailed construction estimate is produced once design and construction documents are complete and all materials are specified. For renovations, this process moves quickly. For full structural remodels, it takes longer because the variables are more complex.

Primary cost drivers: scope (renovation vs. structural remodel vs. addition); finish level (semi-custom vs. fully custom cabinetry, standard vs. natural stone, production vs. designer fixtures); structural complexity (moving walls, adding square footage, second-story work); permit complexity (which jurisdiction, HOA approvals required, engineer-stamped drawings); and logistics (high-rise condo vs. single-family home; occupied vs. vacant). Boca Raton-specific factors include impact-resistant material requirements throughout Palm Beach County and South Florida's licensed labor premium. Bluestone walks every client through these factors so your estimate is grounded in reality.

For a renovation (cosmetic updates, no structural work), budget 10% above your project estimate. For a remodel involving structural changes or an older Boca Raton home, budget 15–20%. In 2025, the City of Boca Raton reported an 18% increase in unpermitted work complaints — which tells you how many homeowners have been caught off guard by the realities of remodeling older homes. Bluestone discusses contingency explicitly with every client in our pre-construction process and documents it in the project agreement.
