Average Cost of a Bathroom Remodel

I can’t count how many times a perspective client had called us to ask what our price per square foot for a Bathroom Remodel is. Our philosophy is that there are no two projects that are truly the same, so to help answer this question I have gone through our most recent Bathroom Remodels to get some real price data.

Here are some quick averages that I’ve came up with:
Average price per square foot: $249.51 per Sq. Ft.
Lowest price per square foot: $121.45 per Sq. Ft.
Highest price per square foot: $622.77 per Sq. Ft.

You may have heard that bathroom remodel costs vary dramatically from project to project. As you can see from the figures above it is really true. There are just too many factors that affect the bottom line price to even mention in this article.

Some of the biggest things that affect the bottom line price per square foot are:
1.   Do you want Heated Floors installed?
2.   Are you choosing Custom Glass shower or tub enclosure?
3.   Do you have 8 ½’ or higher ceilings?
4.   Have you selected natural stone for your tile? Or did you go with Porcelain or Ceramic?
5.   Are you adding lighting or any other electrical fixtures in your bathroom?
6.   Are you changing locations of your toilet, bath tub, shower, sink etc…?

A few important things to keep in mind when getting priceing for your Bathroom Remodel:
1.   If you are given a bid based on the square footage of your bathroom alone then I would strongly recommend that you get another bid from a contractor that actually stops by your house, talks to you, and measures out your bathroom
2.   The larger your bathroom is – the lower your cost per square foot is. This is due to a procedural construction approach. In other words – it doesn’t really matter from a “labor” perspective if you have 40 square feet of tile flooring to be installed or 60. It’s the drying times for mortars, drywall mud and textures, paint drying times etc…
