Bathroom Remodeling 101

A major bathroom remodel requires extensive planning. You need to make sure your daily routine isn’t completely upended, and you also need to be prepared to spend some money since a bathroom remodel can be pricey. According to Remodeling Magazine, there are a few levels to bathroom remodeling: mid-range remodeling is going to involve things like ceramic tiled floors and tub surround, a double sink and vanity, recessed medicine cabinet, wallpaper, and a new toilet. An upscale remodel, on the other hand, changes the bathroom itself; from expanding the walls, to adding a window, to changing fixtures, upscale remodeling is a major project. If you want a new, huge tile shower, custom countertops, a bidet, or other luxury items, an upscale bath remodel could be quite an expensive endeavor

Cost/Benefit

Remodeling Magazine conducted a survey from 2010 to 2011 that showed the average national cost of a mid-range bathroom remodel at just over $16,000, with the associated resale investment at just 64%. These costs are geographically specific. Western states are the most expensive (over $19,000), but their return on investment is a higher 79.6%. Those in the upper Midwest states are close to the average when it comes to cost, but their return rate is considerably lower at around 55%. If you live in the south central states, you’re likely to get the best bath remodel value with a cost at just over $14,000 and a 70% return rate.

DIY or Professional Install?

If you’re a do-it-yourself type, you can probably handle some or all of your remodeling needs. But if you’re not interested in dealing with the hassle, you can always hire a contractor. If you choose to hire a professional, be sure to compare their part prices with what’s available online or in discount stores. And when it comes to demolishing your current bathroom, you might want to take a hammer to that yourself in order to save on labor costs.

Don’t Go It Alone

Even if you choose to do the remodel yourself, get advice from people you know who’ve done a bathroom remodel. Did they work with a contractor?
