The
most accurate answer would be: "It
depends..."
There
are some reliable 3rd party references for
remodeling cost. Probably the best known and most
highly regarded would be Remodeling
Magazine, they publish an annual Cost VS Value report
collected from 60 of the top US housing markets.
It's highly regarded by the industry as a bench
mark or at least a valuable starting point for
accurate cost forecasting for remodeling.
