Cosmetic Refresh

A clean, durable update with builder-grade materials — perfect when the bones of the home are solid and you want a faster turnaround.

Typical range
$8,000 – $25,000

Materials grade

  • LVP or builder-grade hardwood-look flooring
  • Stock-grade cabinets (Hampton Bay, Kemper, or similar)
  • Builder-grade fixtures and faucets
  • Laminate or entry-level quartz countertops

Scope

  • Cosmetic refresh — no wall or layout changes
  • Fixtures, finishes, and surfaces updated
  • Fresh paint, trim, and lighting
  • Best when the floor plan already works

Timeline

2–3 weeks for a typical bath or kitchen refresh.

Structural / Full-Gut

Full-gut remodels and second-story additions with top-tier materials. Used when the scope, the structure, or both demand it.

Typical range
$65,000 – $200,000+

Materials grade

  • Site-finished hardwood or premium large-format tile
  • Custom cabinetry built for the space
  • Premium natural stone or designer quartz
  • Designer plumbing fixtures and lighting

Scope

  • Structural changes, second-story additions, or full-gut rebuilds
  • Reconfigure mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems
  • Open layouts where the structure allows
  • Permit-driven work with full project management

Timeline

8–16 weeks for a typical full-gut or addition project.

What "Mike's tier" actually means

The biggest driver of a remodel price is materials grade paired with how much the layout has to change. A cosmetic refresh with cabinet refacing and new fixtures sits firmly in the Essential band. Open up a wall, reroute the plumbing, and swap to semi-custom cabinets and standard quartz — that's Mid-Range. Tear down to the studs, add a second story, or relocate mechanical systems with custom cabinetry and premium stone — that's Premium.

These are Triangle ranges based on 12+ years of jobs across Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Chapel Hill, and Wake Forest. The exact number comes from Mike walking the property, measuring the space, and listening to what you actually want from the home. Two identical kitchens on the same street in Wakefield can land at different tiers depending on whether the layout is staying put or opening up, and whether the homeowner wants builder-grade or custom cabinetry.

The honest answer is that the tier isn't a sales bracket — it's a transparent way to talk about what's been scoped before Mike gives you the number.
