A master bath remodel is one of the most popular projects homeowners or condominium owners choose. Once you’ve gathered a vision, it’s time to count the cost of bathroom remodeling.
The cost of bathroom remodeling can vary greatly since so many factors must be considered. We are here to help you get an idea of what those factors are so you can calculate your bathroom remodel cost.
Materials Can Make Up More Than Half the Cost of Bathroom Remodeling
You can get a good idea of the bathroom remodeling cost by knowing exactly what you want. High-end, luxury showers will cost more than average showers. Vanities can range from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars.
If you have a desired budget, discuss this with your Representative or Design Professional, being sure to list item specifics you won’t sacrifice. Then make another list of the items you are willing to accept lower-quality materials, also known as value engineering.
You can figure the materials can make up 50% of the total cost of bathroom remodeling.
How Big is the Project?
The average luxury master bath remodel cost can range from $100 to $250,000 and beyond, but largely depends on the size of the bathroom and number and type of fixtures and finishes.
Most of the time you will get better value from by renovating the whole space. That way they won’t have to work around certain features, minimize risk of damage and, believe it or not, can reduce time as a result.
Figuring Contractor Costs
Labor is where a Master bath remodeling cost can vary among projects. Your contractor will look at how complex your remodeling project is. They will also notice whether the room is big enough for multiple people to work safely at a time. And if you have things like plumbing or electrical work that need to be relocated, labor costs will be higher.
A reputable contractor will consider these items and provide you with an accurate cost estimate.
Unexpected Problems Can Raise the Master Bath Remodeling Cost
You should always expect the cost of bathroom remodeling to be higher than you think.
A contractor can only provide you with an estimate based on what they see. When they tear into walls, they might find water damage, mold, electrical hazards, or other unexpected issues. These items will need to be addressed at the time they are discovered, since the contractor can’t proceed with the project.
The severity of the discovered condition (s) will determine the additional cost.
Always Work With an Experienced Team of Professionals
When you work with experienced professionals, you’ll have a better chance of getting an accurate cost estimate. They will explain all of the factors that go into the estimate, so you will know how your resources are being allocated.
The cost will fluctuate based on the type of materials or items you desire and the unique features you want. When remodeling a luxury bathroom, be sure to seek out seasoned professionals, ensuring things are done right the first time.
The last thing you want to happen is to regret not including a feature several years after the fact.
Once you get a cost estimate from your design professional and contractor, you can decide whether to proceed with the project now or later.
