Rehab Cost Estimator

Get a fast rehab budget for an offer. Pick the scope of work or enter your own price per square foot, then add a contingency for surprises.

How it works

• Budget = square feet × price per square foot for the scope of work.
• Contingency (usually 10–15%) covers what you find after the walls are opened.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is a price per square foot estimate?

It's a guide for making offers. Prices change with the area, finishes, permits, and whether the home will be a rental, short-term rental or retail flip. Get contractor bids before you close.

What drives rehab costs up?

Foundation, roof, HVAC, plumbing (especially old cast-iron drains), electrical updates, permits, and moving walls or bathrooms.
