Know the Costs of Bathroom Remodeling
How to Save on Bathroom Remodeling Costs
The process of remodeling your bathroom starts with selecting the appropriate style and amenities you want. Showroom floors are a good place to start, but you'll also be paying showroom prices in most cases. Here are some alternatives that can minimize bathroom remodeling costs:
- Home Improvement Buyers Clubs. They offer substantial discounts by selling directly to the public instead of large warehouses or home improvement stores.
- Discounts through Your Contractor. Contractors can usually get a professional discount at home supply stores. Ask your contractor if part of this discount can be passed along to you.
- Negotiate. If a home improvement store knows you will be purchasing a large quantity of products and materials, they may offer you a discount for your business.
Typical Bathroom Remodeling Costs
A standard sized bathroom remodeling job (5x7 feet) incorporates new tiles, drywall, paint, bathtub/shower, cabinets, fixtures, and accessories. You can expect bathroom remodeling costs to range from $7,000 to $15,000. Bathroom remodeling costs can sometimes run much higher, $20,000 and up, if you want top-of-the-line materials or special features.
How to Select a Contractor
How can you tell who is dependable and who is not? There are several ways to get a good idea of this:
- Good contractors have a track record and can give you many references.
- Check with your friends and coworkers for recommendations.
- Check with your local Better Business Bureau or local community rating blogs to see if there have been any complaints registered about the contractor.
Get at Least Three Estimates
A good estimate will specifically detail what will be done, what will happen if cost overrides happen, total cost of the project, and a guarantee.
Make the Choice
Choose the contractor with the best skills, but also make sure that both of you get along well. The best contractor doesn't usually mean the most expensive or the least expensive.
Creating a Stylish Bathroom

home. It is also true because these rooms are shared among all family members
and guests.
