Make no mistake — remodeling a house is a major investment, especially if you plan to remodel multiple rooms. But the upside of remodeling, of course, is that it could add value to your home. And depending where you live, the price of remodeling a house might be more affordable than you think.

- Basement remodels aren’t far behind, averaging at $18,711.
- Bathroom remodels can vary depending on size and materials, but the national average sits between $6,000 and $14,000.
