What Denver and Colorado Springs contractors are actually charging.
Colorado is about as close to a typical U.S. renovation market as it gets. Colorado's renovation index is 105% of the national average, with a mid-range kitchen near ~$26,250, a bathroom near ~$12,600, and a full gut remodel near ~$116/sqft.
In practice, the 105% number means a Colorado project should cost roughly that share of what the same scope would run nationally, before local Denver or Colorado Springs adjustments.
Colorado homeowners are seeing ~$26,250 kitchens, ~$12,600 bathrooms, and ~$116/sqft full remodels as the mid-range starting point, with Denver typically running higher than Colorado Springs. Denver carries the busiest contractor market in Colorado; Colorado Springs tends to move at its own pace.
The 105% index compares Colorado labor and material pricing against a national baseline; the kitchen figure assumes a mid-range remodel, the bathroom figure assumes a full gut, and the ~$116/sqft number covers a whole-home renovation.
