Remodeling your bathroom can be an exciting time for your family, but it can also get out of hand with the costs and overall amount of work done. This blog will serve as a guide for the things you should consider when starting a remodel. Use this as a good starting point in your research to remodel your bathroom. I’m confident, once you’ve read this blog, you’ll feel more confident in hiring us to make your dreams come true.
According to HomeAdvisor, the average cost of a bathroom remodel is somewhere between $6,000-$17,000. However, we’ve done remodels that are between $3,000-$25,000. It all depends on what you want and how much you’re willing to spend.
Before you get that twinkle in your eye and start thinking about all the awesome things you want, you must budget first. This step will save both of us time, energy and avoid heartbreak if you can’t afford something.
The average cost for a bathroom remodel is around $125 per sq/ft. Most remodeling companies should tell you that $125 per sq/ft is normally the starting point.
It depends on a lot of variables, such as size of the bathroom, materials used, and type of work done. For example, if our contractors have to reroute the plumbing fixtures and change the electrical units, a remodel will cost more than the $125 sq/ft.
The fact is that the majority of home bathrooms are either small or just barely big enough for a couple of people at a time.
According to HomeAdvisior, you should pay around $2,250 for a 3x5 bathroom. A 6x4 bathroom should run you around $3,600 on the high end, for more expensive materials. If you’re just replacing your light fixtures and getting some fresh paint, it should be well within the average. However, if you’re trying to gut the whole bathroom and replace toilets, move the plumbing and replace the flooring, it could costs as much as $12,000-$15,000.
There are a lot of variables so these prices need to be used as more of a starting point than an ending point. The best thing to do is call our team at 703-552-9596 and let us make a much closer estimate on your remodel.
The most common medium-size bathrooms are 6x6 or 5x9 ft and are normally the second biggest bathroom in a home. If you’re wanting to remodel a 6x6 bathroom, it will cost anywhere from $3,600-$5,400. A 5x9 ft bathroom could range from $4,500-$6750.
Large bathrooms are obviously going to cost more, but the price always depends on the type of work you’re getting done. Regardless, an 8x10 ft bathroom will start you around $8,000 on the low end and $12,000 on the high end.
Those 9x10 bathrooms are rare if they’re not meant as a master suite, but some bigger homes are able to accommodate a 90 sq/ft bathroom. With a bathroom this big, you should expect to spend well over $10,000 for a full remodel.
As my wife and I struggle to find more space in a tiny master bathroom, we both dream of remodeling our bathroom into some great unattainable oasis that we can't afford.
The average cost of a master bathroom is around $13,000 and can get as high as $25,000 with extravagant materials, according to HomeAdvisor.
Expanding a bathroom can be a great way to find space for couples who need to share the space.
With such a wide array of variables involved in expanding a room, the cost can also vary. For punching out some drywall and new paint, you could spend as little as $1,500. However, if you have to move support beams, add insulation, rework the electrical outlets, and change plumbing, it could get as high as $15,000.
Everyone has their own style so it’s difficult to say exactly what to remodel and what not to. However, there are ways to optimize your bathroom remodel to get the biggest bang for your buck. This list below is based on the perception that your bathroom could use a complete overhaul and you’d like to choose what to do first.
If I had to prioritize what gets done first, I’d go with the upgrades that make the biggest difference. For example, a new undermount bathroom sink in pearl white with custom cabinets could really set off a bathroom. We recommend spending more on the sink and less on your cabinets because the sink is used more and valued higher in resale.
Sink
A new sink can be as much as $7,000 and as little as a couple hundred. We have contractors that have sinks in stock that steal the room every time someone sees it.
$200-$7,000
Countertops
If you have a nice sink, you might as well put the countertop on top, to limit the number of visits from contractors (saving you money in hours spent)
$1,000-$6,500
Flooring
Putting in a new floor is one of the easiest and quickest ways to make your money back in a resale. A nice tile in a bathroom can improve the value and aesthetics very quickly.
$1,500-$7,000
Shower
I half heartedly joke with my wife about wanting a steam shower put in. A steam shower is one of the most beneficial things you could ever do for your skin. It also resales great and makes a huge difference in your quality of life. Always make renovations based on the things that will change your daily life the most.
$2,500-$10,000
$5,200.00-$30,500
If you research and have the right contractors, you can transform any bathroom you have for an affordable price. Unless you’re trying to get custom woodwork or marble countertops, a steam shower or jacuzzi tub, you can afford to remodel your bathroom.
Getting the most for your money is everyone’s wish, and we want our customers to save money whenever possible. A few quick tips to save money on a bathroom remodel all comes down to the type of materials used in the remodel.
