Renovation Cost by ZIP Code and State: Regional Pricing Hub

The same remodel can cost 35% more one region over, and almost all of that gap is local labor, permits and delivery rather than materials. This hub collects every RenoCalc Hub guide on regional pricing — the ZIP-level cost index, the 2026 state-by-state ranking, city and state cost guides, and the calculators that apply those multipliers to your own project.

  • US regional indexes run from 0.93x in the Southeast to 1.28x on the West Coast.
  • State index ranges from Mississippi at 0.85x to Hawaii at 1.45x.
  • Labor, permits and demand drive the gap — material prices are mostly national.
