Kitchens and bathrooms are often the highest-cost renovations due to plumbing, tile, and fixture requirements. In Park Slope, costs can also vary by building type—especially in brownstones or co-ops that may have DOB or landmark restrictions. Bathroom renovations in this area typically range from $18,000 to $32,000 depending on materials, labor, layout, and access.

Focus your budget on the features that matter most, like tile and plumbing upgrades. Keep your layout intact and work with a contractor who can guide you through smart substitutions if pricing on certain fixtures runs high.

Ask for references from local jobs, check insurance and licensing, and make sure your contractor is experienced with older homes or co-ops. Park Slope has many pre-war buildings that require knowledge of DOB filings and waterproofing codes.

Permits, building rules, and unforeseen conditions (like old piping or plaster walls) can all impact costs. Project complexity, square footage, fixture quality, and demolition effort all contribute to the final budget.

Look at recent remodels that balance historic charm with modern materials. Think bold finishes in neutral tones, clean lines, and space-saving layouts that fit into Brooklyn’s classic building footprints.
