What renovations cost in Edmonton

Real local price ranges for kitchens, basements and bathrooms.

Renovation prices swing with scope, materials and your home’s condition, but homeowners always want a ballpark. These are realistic Edmonton-area ranges to frame your budget — always confirm with a few local quotes.

Basement development

A standard basement finish runs roughly $35–$75 per sq ft. A 900 sq ft basement with a bedroom, bathroom and rec room commonly lands around $40,000–$70,000 depending on the bathroom, wet bar and finishes.

Kitchen renovation

A mid-range Edmonton kitchen typically runs $25,000–$60,000+. Cabinets and countertops drive the number; moving plumbing or walls pushes it up fast. A cosmetic refresh (paint, hardware, counters) can come in well under that.

Bathroom renovation

Expect $12,000–$30,000 for a full mid-range bathroom. A tiled walk-in shower, relocating fixtures, or heated floors all add cost. A powder-room refresh is much less.

Roofing

Asphalt shingle replacement on a typical Edmonton home runs about $5,000–$12,000, depending on size, pitch and how many old layers come off.

What moves the price

  • Finish level — builder-grade vs. premium materials.
  • Surprises behind the walls — old wiring, plumbing, or moisture.
  • Permits and structural changes.
  • Time of year — trades are busiest (and priciest) in summer.

These ranges are general guidance, not quotes. Get matched with local pros for a real number.
