Remodeling Prices: The Real Numbers Behind Your Dream Project

If you’ve ever binged a weekend of remodeling reality TV dreaming about knocking down walls and creating that jaw-dropping open-concept kitchen or luxury spa-like bath, you’re definitely not alone. But here’s the thing, the remodeling costs you see on reality TV are often about as real as unicorns.

Those shows conveniently leave out the fact that suppliers are tossing in free materials and subcontractors are happily donating their hours for a few seconds of screen time. In the real world, home remodeling requires a well-planned budget and realistic expectations.

As seasoned contractors in Maryland and Pennsylvania, we at Viking Brothers Contracting can assure you that remodeling costs in the real world look quite different. So, let’s talk about real numbers.

Curious about what your home remodel might cost? Keep scrolling, we’ve broken down our pricing into three straightforward categories for bathrooms, kitchens, additions, and garage builds and three tiers: Refresh, Enhanced, and Premium.

Whether you’re looking for a modest update, a stylish upgrade, or a top-of-the-line transformation, we’ve got the scoop (minus the misleading TV information).

Kitchen Remodeling Prices

Your kitchen budget can be as modest or as luxurious as you prefer, it’s driven by your personal wish list, the materials you select, and the existing conditions of your home. Once we’ve met at your home and clearly defined all aspects of your remodeling goals, you’ll receive a precise quote tailored specifically to your project.

The pricing we’ve outlined below is meant to serve as a helpful starting point and general range to get you familiar with potential costs. Since every kitchen remodel is unique, exact pricing can only be provided after detailed planning and project design.

Home Addition Pricing

Home Additions Pricing: Investing in Extra Space

If you’re feeling a little cramped and considering expanding your home, you’re probably wondering about the cost. Unlike buying a gallon of milk, home additions don’t have a one-size-fits-all price tag. Most additions in Maryland and Pennsylvania typically start around $300 per square foot, but here’s the good news: if your new space doesn’t involve adding a kitchen or bathroom, the cost per square foot can drop significantly.

Every home addition project is as unique as your family’s needs. Are you dreaming of a spacious master suite, a bright sunroom, or perhaps an extended family room perfect for movie nights?

At Viking Brothers Contracting, we’ve seen (and built) it all. The overall price will depend heavily on the complexity, materials chosen, and the specific features you envision for your new space.

As a design-build contractor, we specialize in bringing your vision to life smoothly and efficiently.

Home Addition Pricing

If you already have architectural plans in hand, fantastic, we can take it from there! If you’re starting from scratch and the only thing you have is an idea scribbled on a napkin, no worries. Our experienced team can work alongside you to create professional plans that suit your lifestyle, budget, and home perfectly.

Ready to see how your dream addition can become reality? Let’s start planning! Reach out to Viking Brothers Contracting, and together we’ll explore options tailored specifically to your home and family.

Garage Build Pricing

Garage Build Pricing: More Than Just a Place to Park

Thinking about finally adding that garage you’ve always wanted? Great decision! Garages offer more than just a cozy spot for your car; they’re the ultimate multitasking space for storage, hobbies, and even hangouts. Typically, garage builds in Maryland and Pennsylvania start around $175 per square foot, providing a solid ballpark figure to get you started.

Of course, like everything else in-home construction, garage pricing isn’t exactly cookie-cutter. The total investment depends on various factors, including garage size, materials selected, type of doors, windows, finishes, and any specialty features you’re dreaming about.

Want heated floors, custom shelving, or an upper-level storage loft? Those are great ideas—and yes, they’ll factor into the final cost.

Garage Build Pricing

At Viking Brothers Contracting, every garage we build is approached as a custom design-build project. Already have plans sketched out by an architect or designer? Awesome! We’ll take those and bring them to life. No plans yet? No worries! Our experienced team will gladly collaborate with you, from concept to completion, ensuring your garage perfectly meets your needs, style, and budget.

Ready to reclaim your driveway, declutter your home, and finally have that extra room you’ve been craving? Let’s get your garage project rolling, reach out to Viking Brothers Contracting today!

What Our Clients Say

Dave has been doing work for us for over 10 years. He is reliable, good at communicating, honest, and does great work at an even better price! He’s done everything from handyman type work, to refinishing our basement, adding cabinets to our kitchen, installing a built in office desks and cabinets, tile work, etc. We recommend him to all of our family and friends and everyone looking for someone to help with their projects!
Melissa Droddy
Viking Brothers replaced the deck on the front of our house. Dave was very responsive and has excellent communication with the customer during the entire process. The workmanship is outstanding and the crew is very professional.
Robert Eubank
Viking Brothers staff completed 3 tile projects for us and a bathroom remodel (tile and plumbing reconfiguration). Each project is gorgeous (even though different staff did the tile work for the three projects). Consistent quality and attention to detail. Highly recommend!
Jody Fetzer

Viking Brothers just renovated my sad, cracked 1952 bathroom, and now it is so gorgeous, I can’t believe it’s actually mine. They are responsive, prompt, courteous, and cleaned up beautifully.

They are very knowledgeable and helpful, whether or not you know what you want. This was the first time I’d done a substantial renovation, and they were able to relieve a lot of my anxiety.

Janet Krejci
David and his crew at Viking Bros Contracting did an amazing job on my bathroom renovation! Their level of professionalism and knowledge is second to none. They were also very willing to work with me to make my vision come true, even when it made the project take more time.

I’ve hated my bathroom for years, and now I love the space. It is not only aesthetically pleasing, but very functional and comfortable, whereas my old bathroom was outdated, small, and didn’t fit my needs. I had two bathrooms which I wanted converted into one large bathroom. Also, the entire crew was so friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend them for all your renovation needs!

Nikki Booker
We highly recommend Viking Brothers Contracting to all our family and friends. David and China are a pleasure to work with. We will certainly call on them when we want any other work done here.
Walter Dunbar

The work by Viking Brothers exceeded our hopes. Our front porch supports and railings needed replaced. We contacted David and his team and from the first meeting until the work was completed, were completely amazed by his knowledge and patience.

We felt like we had a dedicated team taking care of us every step of the way. The work was done professionally and the craftsmen were top quality. Our project was rather small, but never the less, the dedication they showed to getting the job done to our specifications indicates a very high level of professionalism throughout their company. They made us very happy.

I would highly recommend Viking Brothers to anyone needing a contractor, they truly know what they’re doing!

Jim Thompson
Viking gutted an existing bedroom in our 100-year old house back to the studs and floor joists. They installed sleepers on the floor joists before covering with new plywood. The walls and ceiling were covered in drywall and primed.

The floor boards were re-used to the trim the windows, doors, and closets. New closets were installed and old kitchen cabinets were inside the closet for new storage. Viking’s work is excellent and we received a good value for the spend. We will hire them again for our next project.

Randy Kiefer
We had a kitchen back splash installed and it looks beautiful!! Viking Brothers were honest, punctual on a daily basis and completed the job within the projected time. I recommend this company!
Virginia F

Although I have never used Viking Brothers, I worked with the owner (David) for an extent of time. The amount of knowledge and thoroughness that David had/has far exceeded that of anyone we worked with, not to mention he taught me most things I know today.

So glad he has started his own company and is where he should be. In a world where most contractors focus on making money, forfeiting quality, it’s hard to come across people like David that have both in mind. I would recommend him any day.

Daniel Goldberg
Viking Brothers exceeded our expectations in every way. Dave is great with communicating and the timeline was spot on. Every person who worked in my house was friendly and willing to take time to explain things to me/answer my questions. We are enjoying our beautiful updated basement and plan to hire them for future projects.
Natalie Russell

I was very impressed by the quality of work Viking Brothers performed in such a short notice. We needed our kitchen floor installed before my daughter’s wedding (I had 2 weeks to get it done). David came in gave me an estimate and was able to start the next day.

Despite being a job that needed to be expedited the workmanship was not compromised at all. I would recommend Viking Brothers to anyone needing a licensed contractor.

Heather Kinlein
I contracted with Viking Brothers to pull down a chimney and patch the roof where the chimney protruded. They arrived promptly and worked diligently through the day.

They were professional and friendly. Everything was completed as contracted. I looked at the roof after and if I didn’t know the chimney was there beforehand, I would have guessed it never had one. I could not tell between the original roof and the patch, they did a great job. I will contact them again for future renovations.
