Remodel Cost Estimator For Delaware & Nearby PA

Scope of Work

Full-gut remodels, structural changes, or significant layout adjustments increase cost compared to lighter updates. Bigger transformations require more labor, engineering, and planning.

Materials and Finishes

The quality of cabinetry, countertops, flooring, tile, lighting, and hardware directly affects the budget. Most Bromwell clients prefer higher-end finishes and luxury materials that stand the test of time.

Age of the Home

Many homes in Wilmington, Hockessin, Greenville, and Chadds Ford are more than 50 years old. Older homes may need upgrades behind the walls, plumbing, electrical, insulation, or framing, to meet today’s standards. These improvements add cost but create safer, longer-lasting results.

Design-Build Process

Our design-build approach provides a 100% accurate bid and full alignment between design and construction teams. This eliminates surprises and helps prevent mid-project cost changes.

Location

Remodeling costs vary slightly across Wilmington, Hockessin, Greenville, Newark, Chadds Ford, and Delaware’s coastal communities due to permitting needs, site conditions, and material availability.

The estimator provides a planning range based on what projects like yours typically cost in Delaware and nearby Pennsylvania communities. For exact pricing, we complete a design phase and produce a detailed, transparent proposal before construction begins.

Yes. One of the main benefits of this cost estimator is the ability to see how different project types compare in terms of overall investment. Many homeowners start by thinking they need one type of project, only to realize a different project better supports their goals or budget.

This tool helps you see the difference between a cosmetic update and a full renovation, or the cost difference between expanding your home versus reconfiguring what you already have. By reviewing your results, you’ll get a clearer sense of which projects align with your priorities and what level of finishes make sense for your home and long-term plans.

Yes. The ranges generated by this tool account for the level of craftsmanship and finishes most Bromwell clients expect. Our clients usually select durable, high-quality materials, including custom cabinetry, premium countertops, luxury tile, updated mechanical systems, and detailed carpentry work. These choices influence cost, and the estimator reflects that quality-driven approach.

Because Bromwell is known for attention to detail and high-end design-build remodeling, the budget ranges skew toward accurate numbers for homeowners looking for long-lasting value, not bare-minimum pricing. This helps eliminate unrealistic expectations and supports a smoother planning process from the beginning.

Your quiz results give you a helpful starting point, but the next step is usually a conversation with our team to clarify scope and goals. If the range fits your expected investment level, you can schedule a free in-home consultation, where we review your space, discuss your vision, and explain how our design-build process works from planning through construction.

From there, the project moves into design, optional discovery, full design development, material selections, and final plans. Before construction begins, we provide a 100% accurate bid, which is part of our commitment to transparency and reliable planning. This ensures you know the full cost at the outset.
