The Ultimate Guide To Home Improvement: 57 Common Project Costs

Landscaping, remodeling and plumbing. Can you guess the most expensive types of home improvement projects?

Any homeowner knows there’s always something to be done around the house. Whether it’s updating an outdated appliance or fixing a leaky faucet, home improvement projects come in all shapes and sizes – and with all kinds of price tags.

According to HomeAdvisor's 2017 True Cost Survey, not only are homeowners completing more maintenance and improvement projects than ever, they’re also spending more money. In February 2016, the number of homeowners who reported spending more than $1,000 on small projects had increased 13 percent over the prior 12 months. Homeowners also said they expected to spend a lot more on major home improvement projects in the future.

So where’s all that money going? Based on national averages, HomeAdvisor broke down the costs of 57 common projects in nine categories to give us an idea. From the least expensive to the most, check how each area of home improvement adds up so you can be prepared for future projects.
