Every project is different, but here's what homeowners across Apple Valley and the south metro typically invest in 2026. Minneapolis–St. Paul pricing tends to run 10–20% above national averages, driven by our short construction season, skilled-trade demand, and older housing stock.
Most full kitchen remodels run $40,000–$70,000. A cosmetic refresh that keeps the layout can start around $20,000–$25,000, while large, high-end open-concept kitchens run $90,000+. Cabinetry, countertops, and whether you move walls or plumbing drive most of the difference.
A powder or half bath runs about $7,000–$12,000, a full hall bath $12,000–$21,000, and a primary suite bath $22,000–$42,000. Custom tile, fixtures, and relocating plumbing push the higher end.
Finishing a basement typically runs $25,000–$45,000 for a smaller space and $46,000–$78,000 for a mid-size finish. Adding a bathroom, wet bar, or a larger footprint can push past $100,000 — and it's one of the most cost-effective ways to add living space.
Additions vary widely with size and direction — roughly $36,000 for a small bump-out to $165,000+ for a large suite. Building up (a second story) costs notably more than building out.
According to the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report, minor cosmetic kitchen updates recoup the most — often 90%+ — while a mid-range bathroom remodel returns roughly 74–80%. Basements and additions return less on paper, but they add real, usable living space and everyday enjoyment that resale percentages don't capture.
