I am a contractor and my advice is to not worry about $/sf.
Get your scope defined of exactly what you want to do and take bids.
By the information you have given, I could answer 100/ft or 300/ft and could be correct either way. Renovations are always more expensive because of the unknowns. You don't want a contractor to give you a low bid/ft and then change order your arse the entire way.

I bid new construction last year and thought the prices were reasonable if a lot higher than I hoped for.
Have costs changed much since this time last year?
