If you’ve been considering a luxury home renovation in Utah, you’ve likely also considered the cost. This guide breaks down costs for various luxury home renovations, including kitchens, bathrooms, full-home remodels, and additions, to help you create a home as personalized as your lifestyle.
The Cost of a Full Home Remodel
A whole home remodel is the ultimate investment in your property. It modernizes your living space, improves flow, and increases your home’s overall value. Let's talk about what a full home remodel might cost. Remember: you are completely redoing your entire home.
A full home remodel in Utah starts at $500,000+ and ranges upward, depending on the home’s size, finishes, and structural changes required.
Luxury Whole Home Remodels: What to expect
Our luxury remodel services give you more room and a taste of the finer things in life. They typically involve reimagining interior and exterior spaces to create a cohesive, modern, and functional design. Here's what you can expect with a luxury whole home remodel.
1. Interior Renovations
Interior renovations often include gutting and reconfiguring spaces to improve flow and usability. Kitchens and bathrooms are typically focal points, with upgrades like custom cabinetry, luxury countertops, smart appliances, and premium fixtures.
Bedrooms and living areas may receive enhancements like new flooring, updated lighting, and tailored built-ins for storage and style. Basements or attics might also be finished to add livable square footage.
2. Structural Changes
Structural changes, such as removing walls or adding extensions, are common in whole-house remodels. These alterations help open the home, improve functionality, and maximize natural light. Many remodels also address essential HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems to ensure the home operates efficiently.
3. Exterior Updates
A home remodel often includes exterior updates with siding, roofing, landscaping, and window upgrades. These improvements enhance curb appeal and provide a harmonious look that complements the interior upgrades.
Luxury Second-Story Additions
Second-story additions expand living quarters while maintaining property lines and not taking more outdoor space. This type of renovation is perfect for growing families or anyone wanting to build upwards.
What you can expect
A luxury second-story addition is a major project that transforms your home by adding valuable space. On average, luxury second-story addition costs in Utah start at $900,000+. Custom finishes, like hardwood flooring, elegant staircases, and expansive windows, elevate the design to match the luxury aesthetic.
Interior elements often include spacious layouts for bedrooms, offices, or living areas, with tailored details like built-ins, crown molding, and smart technology.
Other Luxury Remodeling Project Costs in Utah
Here is what you can expect cost-wise from luxury bathroom and kitchen remodels, basement conversions, and ADU and outdoor additions. Regardless of the project, look for a team that doesn't shirk in quality or service.
Bathroom Remodels
Luxury bathroom remodels use higher-end finishes and options such as heated floors, statement vanities, premium countertops, and curbless entry showers.
The cost of a bathroom remodel in Utah County typically ranges between $40,000 and $75,000+, depending on how luxurious you want to go.
Bathroom Additions
Bathroom additions are another popular choice because they add a great deal of utility to a home.
Typically, a bathroom addition in Utah costs between $45,000 and $75,000+, depending on whether it's a smaller bathroom or a luxury primary suite.
The final cost depends largely on the size of the project and plumbing work, especially if new water lines need to be installed. Intricate tile work, custom cabinetry, and fine finishes also play a major role in the cost of a bathroom addition.
Kitchen Remodels
What can kitchen remodeling do for you? Imagine custom cabinetry, meticulously crafted to suit your taste and effortlessly merge with your design vision. Smart appliances take convenience to the next level, combining advanced technology with sleek aesthetics for a modern yet timeless feel.
The cost of a kitchen remodel in Utah County and beyond averages $100,000 to $250,000+, with the luxury kitchens being on the higher end of the scale.
You can use premium materials like wide-plank hardwood floors and quartz countertops to give your kitchen a luxe glow.
Kitchen Expansions
Kitchen expansions include increasing the square footage, upgrading the flooring, installing high-end countertops, and adding custom cabinetry.
Electrical and plumbing updates support modern appliances while framing, roofing, and windows integrate the new and old spaces. HVAC, insulation, and lighting ensure comfort and efficiency, creating a luxurious, well-designed kitchen transformation.
Understandably, the cost of a kitchen expansion is slightly more than that of a remodel. Typically, a kitchen expansion in Utah costs between $200,000 and $400,000+, depending on the size, luxurious features, and finishes you choose.
Basement finishing and remodeling
Basement finishing and remodeling allow you to use your existing space and turn it into viable living quarters.
Typically, a basement finish or remodel in Utah starts at $525,000+, depending on the design and the state or constraints of the original space. The primary cost drivers include HVAC installation to ensure proper climate control, plumbing for bathrooms and wet bars, and electrical work for lighting, outlets, and smart home integration.
High-end flooring materials, insulation, drywall, and soundproofing also factor into overall costs. Custom elements like home theaters, wine cellars, and built-in storage can further elevate pricing but are worth it.
Home Additions
Sometimes, you need a luxury remodel that doesn't fit in any box. If you need a home addition that isn't one of the listed types, we can provide you with the cost once we have the design.
Common home additions not listed above include living rooms, additional bedrooms, or home offices. These often start at $40,000+ and go up from there, depending on your project's custom finishes and scope.
Accessory Dwelling Units
On average, an unattached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in Utah costs $350,000+, and the cost typically increases based on size and design choices.
The total investment depends on whether the ADU is attached or detached, as detached units often require additional foundation work and utilities.
Architectural style, finishes, and smart home integration also impact pricing. Including a full kitchen with high-end appliances and luxury materials can add to your total price.
