Use this remodel cost estimator to explore a typical home renovation budget in Southern California. Choose Medium, High, or Custom finishes for each category, enter quantities where needed, and see a live remodeling cost estimate for kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, lighting, paint, millwork, and more. This tool focuses on finish materials and installed details (not labor or furnishings).

Grand Total:
$0 – $0

This is a planning tool, not a formal quote. Pricing reflects typical finish ranges for ~4,000 sq. ft. homes in Orange County and does not include labor, construction, or furnishings. Larger homes or fully custom selections may exceed these ranges.

Important Notes About This Estimate

  • Not a quote. This tool is for early planning only. It does not represent a formal bid or agreement for services.

  • Materials only. Numbers shown reflect the finish materials you’ve selected (appliances, tile, lighting, cabinets, etc.). They do not include labor, demolition, construction material, installation, or construction services.

  • Based on a 4,000 sq. ft. home. If your home is larger or smaller, you can scale the numbers up or down. For example, an 8,000 sq. ft. home would typically be close to double.

  • No furnishings or décor. This calculator covers fixed finishes only (what’s attached to the home). Furniture, art, accessories, etc. are excluded unless noted.

  • Every project is unique. Market conditions, design complexity, and site factors all affect budgets. Once you’ve hired us, we’ll create a customized budget specific to your home.

  • Use as a guide. These ranges are a starting point to help you understand potential investment levels and set priorities. Final costs are confirmed after design development, specifications, and contractor bids.

Our Happy Homeowners

  • Vacation home reimagined

    “Wow! Our new home is everything we hoped it would be. I love every piece of art. I love the birds in the entry. I love so much about this – it really is a work of art! It is so peaceful, so calming, it's absolutely amazing! I love everything! We are just so pleased.”

  • Scenic landscape of rolling green hills in the foreground, with rugged mountains in the background under a clear sky.

    Family gathering

    “Julie helped me change the look of my dining room, family room and entryway! She was very thorough from listening to me with what look I was wanting. Her vision board was so helpful to look at to see how it all would look. I loved how she gave me choices for each piece .... It was so nice to not have to do the work to look for things. The best part was leaving the house and coming home to a new place the day everything was installed at once! I would definitely recommend Julie!”

  • Bringing in the light

    “Julie was very easy to work with. She had many great ideas. I had an old and dark room that needed to be redone. She transformed it into a light, bright and cozy family room. It is just stunning. Julie has a good eye for interior design.”
