Rhode Island sits above the national average, though not dramatically so. Rhode Island's renovation index is 110% of the national average, with a mid-range kitchen near ~$27,500, a bathroom near ~$13,200, and a full gut remodel near ~$121/sqft.
The gap between a Providence bid and a Newport bid can be significant, even for identical scope. The mid-range numbers for Rhode Island: ~$27,500 kitchen, ~$13,200 bathroom, ~$121/sqft full gut. Treat those as a starting point, not a quote, whether you're near Providence or Newport.
The 110% index compares Rhode Island 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 ~$121/sqft number covers a whole-home renovation.
Older housing stock in Rhode Island tends to hide costs that a newer build simply doesn't have. In Rhode Island, a 15% contingency, three competing bids, and leaving the plumbing and structural layout alone are the three levers that actually keep a renovation on budget.
At least three, ideally itemized, so you can compare scope in Providence, Newport, or wherever your project sits.
A mid-range kitchen remodel in Rhode Island runs around ~$27,500, though Providence and Newport pricing can differ from that figure.
Budget around ~$13,200 for a mid-range bathroom remodel in Rhode Island, before any structural or plumbing changes.
