<human>:  How do I estimate home remodeling costs?
<bot>: Firstly, determine the scope of the project--will it involve a major renovation or minor changes? Once you have a better idea of the work involved, you can start to estimate the cost. Take into consideration the materials, labor, and other costs that can add up quickly. It is also important to look at the local market and get several estimates from trusted contractors to ensure you are receiving the best value.
