On average, expect to pay about $1,030-$1,250 for a small entryway. If you have a medium foyer, the project cost anywhere between $2,574 and $3,124 on average. For a large foyer, expect to spend approximately $8,880-$10,777, or more.

Your complete entryway cost takes into account a number of factors, including the total square footage of space, the age of your house, material costs, the scope of renovation, your zip code, local labor costs and the finishing details - to name (more than) a few.

Creating an entrance foyer is not only an affordable home remodeling project, butou will also love the difference it makes in defining your living space, especially in contemporary style homes. A beautiful and well-organized foyer makes a house more inviting, more stylish and more desirable.

On top of that, an entrance or foyer gives you privacy (the front door doesn't open right into your living room), energy efficiency (acts as a buffer zone in extreme weather and reduces your utility bills) and helps to organize your modern,contemporary home.

Once you make the commitment to build a stylish and functional foyer or entryway, you need to know how much of an investment you need for this home renovation.

An estimate helps you organize the home improvement project, effectively managing milestones and costs.

Acquiring a free estimate for your entryway remodel will help you create a realistic budget - getting you quality work at a fair price. It's also the best way to ensure that you don't stumble across any unwelcome surprises during the execution of your project.

A carefully planned remodeling project can greatly increase the value of your property in the home buyers' market.

Interestingly, the ROI on your home sale can be up to 70% of your total investment as long as you do the right groundwork, and use the right methods and materials.

  • Custom: Measurements according to your specifications

3. Enter scope of renovation from the three options below

  • Cosmetic Changes:
    Ideal if you are selling your home. Cosmetic changes to the entryway/foyer renovation provide a welcoming, aesthetically pleasing introduction to the rest of your home, without needing a permit.

  • High-end:
    Materials are high end and customized to the owner's taste. Every material will be differentiated and may take a little longer to put together, but the finished product is amazing.

It's very important that you plan your entryway or foyer remodel well in advance. Here are some tips to make the process easy and quick:

  • Plan your entryway remodel for when you have enough time to spare.
  • Check your local building code for all permit requirements.
  • Work with expert contractors or companies.
  • Note that a professional finish will fetch you a better resale value.
  • Zero in on a foyer design that suits the style of your house.
  • Do your research on updating the sidelights - vertical windows, usually beside a door - and lighting.
  • Consider installing appropriate molding, adding glass elements and getting a new paint job.
  • Keep track of all inventories and materials.
  • Get a guarantee as well as a written contract from your contractor. The document should detail the complete schedule, deadlines for milestones and the payment process.

These steps will help you avoid unexpected hassles and issues, and make your entryway or foyer remodeling project go smoothly and safely.
