We do not publish square-foot prices. Every job is priced on your site, your layout and the finishes you choose, so a number here would be a guess. Send the details and you get a real itemized estimate instead.

How These Numbers Work

Most builders either publish a square-foot price they cannot hold to, or refuse to discuss cost at all. We do neither. The tool above places your project in a finish tier, the same $ / $$ / $$$ scale used across our cost guides, because the tier is the part that holds true across projects. The dollar figure is the part that does not: it moves with your lot, your layout, your finishes, and what we find once work starts. So we price every job individually and give you an itemized estimate before anything begins, rather than a per-square-foot number that changes the moment we walk the site.

Where Northern Colorado Projects Usually Land

Researched 2026 Northern Colorado ranges by project. Your number depends on size and finish level, which the calculator above lets you dial in.

ProjectTypical sizeWhere it usually landsWhat moves it most
Custom home2,000+ sq ft$$$Your lot, design complexity and finish level move this the most
Home addition~400 sq ft$$$Foundation, structure and tying into the existing house
Basement finishing~1,000 sq ft$$$Egress, moisture and whether a bathroom is included
Kitchen remodel~160 sq ft$$$Cabinetry and countertops, and whether the layout moves
Bathroom remodel~60 sq ft$$$Tub-to-shower conversions and tiling drive most of it

These are tiers, not quotes. Real cost depends on your specific finishes, layout and site conditions, and excludes permit fees (Larimer, Weld, Windsor and Fort Collins vary). Every Blue Springs client gets a free, itemized estimate. Last updated July 2026.

Cost Estimator FAQ

How do I estimate the cost of my remodel?
Use the tool above: pick your project type, approximate size and finish level for an instant Northern Colorado price range. For an exact figure, we give every client a free, itemized estimate.
How much should I budget for a home remodel?
A common guideline is 10 to 15 percent of your home value per room, plus a 10 to 20 percent contingency for surprises uncovered once work starts. We help you set a realistic Northern Colorado number before you commit.
How accurate is the tier?
The tier reflects the project, its size and the finish level you pick, so it tells you which band you are in rather than a price. Real cost depends on your finishes, layout, and site conditions. The free itemized estimate we provide is the exact number.
How much of a remodel is labor?
Labor is typically 50 to 60 percent of a remodel, and can reach about 75 percent on a basement finish, where framing, drywall, and trades dominate the work.
Why is my project at a higher or lower tier?
Three things move the number most: finish level (budget-conscious versus high-end), layout changes that move plumbing, gas, or walls, and site conditions such as moisture control or egress in a Colorado basement.
Does an estimate include permits?
No. The ranges are construction cost. Permit fees in Larimer and Weld counties and the Windsor and Fort Collins building departments are additional and vary by project. Our written estimate itemizes them.
Where in Northern Colorado does Blue Springs build?
We are based in Windsor and build across Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Timnath, and the wider Northern Colorado area, and into southern Wyoming.
