2026 Boston Home Remodeling Cost Guide

Real Renovation Costs Across Greater Boston

Planning a renovation in Boston? One of the biggest questions homeowners ask is simple:

How much is this actually going to cost?

Our 2026 Greater Boston Remodeling Cost Guide was created to give homeowners, condo owners, and developers real insight into today’s construction pricing — based on actual projects completed across Boston and surrounding towns.

This isn’t generic national data.
It’s built from real renovations happening right now in the Greater Boston market.

Built From Real Boston Projects

At CZ Construction Management, we specialize in high-end residential renovations, condo conversions, and multi-family value-add projects across Boston, including:

  • South End brownstones

  • Back Bay and South End condos

  • Dorchester and South Boston multi-family homes

  • Brookline and Newton renovations and new construction

This guide reflects real budgets, real trade costs, and real project conditions unique to Boston construction.

What’s Inside the 2026 Cost Guide

Inside the guide, you’ll find clear pricing ranges for:

  • Kitchen renovations

  • Bathroom remodels

Why Boston Renovation Costs Are Different

Renovating in Boston isn’t the same as renovating anywhere else.

Tight lots, older housing stock, strict permitting, and logistical challenges all impact pricing.
From South End brownstones to triple-deckers in Dorchester, every neighborhood brings unique construction realities.

This guide helps you understand what’s realistic — before you start designing or bidding a project.

This guide is ideal for:

  • Homeowners planning a renovation

  • Condo owners exploring upgrades

If you’re trying to understand whether a project makes financial sense, this guide will give you clarity.

Plan Smarter Before You Build

Most successful projects start with a strong understanding of budget and scope before design begins.
That’s why many of our clients begin with a pre-construction planning phase to align expectations early.
