A remodeling contractor will charge by the job, not the hour. 

Your total cost of the remodel will depend on several factors:

● Room size and current conditions

● Scope of the project

● Quality of materials

● Energy-efficient items to be added (e.g., insulation, lighting)

● Whether structural/architectural features will be added

Would you be responsible for providing equipment/materials for the remodeling contractor?

The remodeling contractor will provide materials needed for any structural work and will include the cost in the estimate. But the remodeling pro will be installing the fixtures, cabinets, furniture, and the like that you choose and provide.

Can you perform this remodel yourself?

While smaller, more basic installs could be done yourself, it is best to hire a professional for larger remodeling jobs. All electrical, plumbing, and building work must be done by licensed professionals to code.
