I wanted to provide some useful information to you all about the cost of remodeling different parts of a property. We’ll start with the bathroom and move throughout the house. So . . .From Luxury Housing Trends:
If you’re thinking of tweaking (or completely overhauling) your bathroom, you might be wondering what kind of cost you’re looking at. Here’s a summary of costs, based on projects, according to Taunton’s New Bathroom Idea Book.
- Cost up to $1,000 = Mostly cosmetic stuff. New paint and a new toilet or sink or new flooring.
- Between $1,000 and $2,500 = Install a new toilet and sink or replace the tub or shower, but you’ll probably have to keep the same layout.
- Cost between $2,500 and $7,500 = Minor floor plan changes, new floors, fixtures, finish materials.
- $7,500 to $12,000 = You can do a fairly complete rehab with changes to the floor plan and add a new window or skylight.
- $12,000 to $20,000 = If you’re using premium materials or adding luxury items (jetted tub, etc), bathroom remodels can jump into this price range. This usually covers things like enlarging the bathroom or converting a closet as well.
We’ll continue with other areas in upcoming posts. For more rehabbing info, check out our rehabbing resources.

At a minimum I have never installed a bathroom for less than $3500
I have rehabed many for about half that though in our area 1800 is more reasonable.
Having a skilled handyman in stead of a contractor will save you lots of money as the hourly rate is close to half.
well if you want that luxury bathroom, you have to prepare with the cost.
What do you get when you spend 20 000 dollars on a bathroom? A person that sings whenever you step in to the bathroom
No seriously, what kind of bathroom remodeling costs 20 000?
