A bathroom addition is a great way to make your home more functional and comfortable for everyone in your family. Homeowners also see a significant return on their investment in the form of resale value. However, is it important to understand exactly how much a bathroom addition costs and what the return on investment is to determine if it is worth it for you.
The cost of a home bathroom addition depends on several factors. First and foremost, the location of the bathroom addition matters; adding a bathroom to your hallway is not going to cost nearly as much as building a new bathroom by adding more space to your home.
In general, you can expect to pay anywhere from $5,000 to $90,000, depending on the location, size of the bathroom and specific installation needs. On average, a home bathroom addition costs around $15,000 to $20,000.
The cost of adding a bathroom is much more affordable than a new addition to your existing home. In fact, the average cost of a bathroom addition to an existing space is about half of the cost of building a new bathroom from scratch. The most common places homeowners add a bathroom to their home include:
On the low end, a bathroom addition is approximately $6,000. This is typically for projects such as adding a small bathroom to an existing hallway. On the high end, such as transforming an unused bedroom to a master bath, the cost of adding a bathroom to an existing space is around $35,000. The average cost of adding a bathroom to an existing space is approximately $15,000.
As mentioned, the cost of building a new bathroom by adding onto your existing home is about twice as much as transforming existing space into a bathroom.
Of course, the return on investment is much more significant when building a new bathroom as you are adding more square footage and usable space to your home. Adding a new bathroom could be a part of creating an in-law suite, preparing for a new family member (such as having or adopting a child) or to accommodate guests better if you have frequent visitors.
The cost of building a new bathroom ranges from $20,000 to $85,000, depending on the size of the bathroom, location, and specific installation needs. The average cost is approximately $35,000.
Adding a bathroom to your basement can cost between $7,000 and $15,000 on average. The price is relatively similar regardless of whether the bathroom is finished or unfinished. However, a bathroom addition to your basement that requires demolition work can increase the cost.
A bathroom remodel, rather than a bathroom addition, is significantly less expensive in many instances. Of course, the difference here is that a remodeling job involves transforming an existing bathroom into something nicer. The average cost of a bathroom remodeling project is between $6,000 and $15,000.
The installation costs for a bathroom addition vary for each homeowner based on their bathroom addition ideas, goals, preferences, and specific installation needs. However, there are some costs that should be expected in most cases, which include:
Bathroom additions to existing parts of your home are more affordable since the structure is already there, whereas the structure must be added if you build onto your existing home.
Of course, the extent to which these fees (and more) cost varies widely, which is why pinpointing the exact price of a bathroom addition is an impossible task. However, contractors can provide you with a relatively precise quote for the project after hearing your specific bathroom addition goals and conducting an inspection.
A home bathroom addition is ideal for homeowners that are interested in while creating extra living space in the process.
This is specifically ideal for expanding families, such as homeowners who are expecting a child, have relatives (i.e. in-laws) that are moving in, etc. Of course, many simply want to add a bathroom to their home to increase its overall appeal and value as well.
