When considering a remodel that affects multiple spaces within a home, such as a kitchen and bathroom, it is most cost-effective to embark upon a whole home remodel. Whether completed all at once or broken up into multiple phases (if you need to remain in the home during construction) working with a design/build remodeling company will provide you with the expertise necessary to achieve the most cohesive design for your home. However, just like home additions, whole home remodels can vary drastically in cost due to five key aspects. Keep reading to explore the key costs and considerations of a whole home remodel in Snohomish County.
Cost is a tricky one, since there is no one-size-fits all answer. However, because most whole home remodels include the kitchen and at least one bathroom, nailing down those costs can help provide a general starting point for what a whole home remodel will cost. The reality is these are the rooms in a home where people tend to spend the most time, and also the rooms that provide the most ROI down the road.
One way to determine the amount worth investing in your whole home remodel is to multiply your home’s current value by 25% for a kitchen remodel and 10% for a bathroom remodel. When you add those two numbers together, the result will give you a realistic starting point for your whole home remodel. For example, if your home is valued at $900,000 then you are likely looking at a whole home remodel starting around $315,000.

While this may prove helpful in giving you a very general idea of cost, the following five aspects are key considerations when remodeling a whole home in Snohomish County:
The size and scope of your whole home remodel is a major factor in determining the cost. The location, the size of the rooms, and what selections you choose all play into the scope of work, and the subsequent fixed investment price. Many people assume that remodels are based on square footage alone, however, that is not the case. For example, kitchens and bathrooms may be smaller but they require appliances, plumbing and electrical features which require substantial investment, and more so if those items are moving to new locations.
Watcher beware. The magic of TV makes structural changes look very easy but removing walls or adding additional square footage (e.g., bumping out a wall to create more space in your remodeled kitchen) requires a structural engineer and added time, money and resources.
Depending on the type of finishes you select, your project investment price could vary greatly. When selecting products, work with your remodeler to discuss pros and cons. The good news is there is a product for every design aesthetic and every budget. Also think about what life will look like for you 5, 10, 20 years from now. Consider:
The age and condition of your home must be also considered. If your home was built in 1930 and has not had any updating done to it (or even if it has), chances are good that there will be significant internal system upgrades needed in order to bring it up to code (think plumbing, electrical, framing, etc.) You may have heard it stated before that you should never overbuild a home, and that guiding principle still applies, even in today's market where housing prices are still outpacing inflation. If your home is valued between 1 - 2 million, then an $100k - $200k bathroom renovation is realistic, however, if your home is valued at $500k that level of a bathroom remodel would be too much.
Like other areas of life, you get what you pay for—a high-quality craftsman and custom workmanship will cost more. The expert team of designers, project managers and trade partners at VanderBeken Remodel can provide you with the quality you are looking for along with a superior client experience.

If you have lived in your home for 15+ years, chances are very good that your whole home is in need of a remodel. Home Appraiser John Bredemeyer, a former spokesman for the Appraisal Institute, a trade association recommends “If a kitchen is from the 1940s, 1960s, or even the 1970s, a well-budgeted renovation makes financial sense."
When considering a whole home remodel, it's important to understand the potential return on investment (ROI) that you can expect. While the exact ROI will vary depending on various factors such as location, market conditions, and the specific renovations done, a well-planned and executed whole home remodel can typically yield a high ROI.
According to the 2023 Cost vs. Value Report© released by Remodeling Magazine, almost 2/3 of bathroom and kitchen remodels in the Pacific Northwest can be recouped at the time of resale. This means that investing in a whole home remodel can not only enhance your living experience but also increase the value of your home.
In addition to the financial aspect, a whole home remodel can bring a sense of satisfaction and enjoyment to homeowners. The NARI's Remodeling Impact Report found that 84% of homeowners have a greater desire to be in their home after a remodel, and 69% experience increased enjoyment in their home. The sense of accomplishment and happiness that comes from a beautifully remodeled home is immeasurable.
It's important to note that the ROI of a whole home remodel goes beyond monetary value. The enjoyment and satisfaction you gain from living in a beautifully renovated space cannot be quantified. Whether it's hosting gatherings in your new kitchen or unwinding in a luxurious bathroom, the impact of a whole home remodel on your quality of life is priceless.
