Estimating Bathroom Remodel Costs

Bathroom remodel costs run anywhere from $2,500 to $25,000. Large master baths in luxury homes might even hit or exceed $50,000. The typical homeowner will spend between $6,000 and $15,000 for a complete tear out and replacement of all walls, fixtures and appliances.

Labor will run you anywhere from 40% to 65% of your total project. Ranges depend on your location. While material pricing doesn’t change much from place to place, a higher cost of living means higher wages.

Determining your bathroom makeover budget can be tricky. Consider the following:

  • Room size.
  • Regional pricing differences. Expect to pay up to 20% more if you live in an area with high real estate prices.
  • Quality of materials. A fiberglass shower surround might run only $300. Custom tile work can easily hit $3,000+.
  • Changing the floor plan. Making your bath larger, like converting a half bath to a

Budgeting & Estimating the Cost of Your Kitchen Renovation

The 5 to 15% rule is widely held as the gold standard in helping homeowners estimate and budget the correct amount for remodels. This rule holds that the entire remodel should cost no less than 5% of the current value of the home — and no more than 15%. This is because spending less than 5% may result in a lesser home value, while a homeowner is unlikely to recoup an investment of more than 15% in a resale.

Some other tips to follow when budgeting and estimating for a kitchen remodel include:
  • Consult with the remodeler about how your costs will be separated among projects. Keep in mind that labor will take up 20% to 35% of the budget.
  • 20% of your budget needs to be set aside for unexpected costs.
  • Prioritize what you want done during the remodel, in
