Typical Costs of Bathroom Remodeling NJ

No matter what the cost, a bathroom remodel adds big-time value to your home....

Can’t stand your tiny bathroom and want to expand? Want to update the décor of your existing bathroom to bring it out of the 80s and into 2015? Perhaps you’ve been planning a bathroom renovation in your mind for quite some time but were afraid of the price tag. The typical bathroom remodel in this country is around $16,000, says the National Kitchen & Bath Association. Each homeowner’s amount will be different, of course, but no matter what the cost, remember that a bathroom remodel adds big-time value to your home.

The Numbers

In fact, you can yield a return of 60 percent for a bathroom addition, according to US News and World Report. Overall, these types of projects can run you anywhere from less than $10,000 to more than $30,000, taking into consideration location, materials, labor costs and scope of work. It seems, though, that the average national costs aren’t that high. Check out this Home Advisor chart here which shows you the cost in detail of an average bathroom remodel. National data shows the average bathroom remodel costs right around $9,247 across the country, depending on individual style and budget. That said, it’s possible to spend much less than that ($3,500 to $7,000) if you only want to incorporate décor issues with no extensive structural work. On average, homeowners in the United States shell out between $5,615 and $12,879.

What Goes into a Bathroom Remodel?

The size of your existing bathroom and what you plan to do with it will be your main considerations when it comes to cost. Other factors include:

· Overall floor plan layout

· Fixtures

· Faucets

· Tiling

· Tubs/showers

· Flooring

· Countertops

· Lighting

· Shelving

You can break down the numbers further to get a better sense of what everything costs. Bath tub installation can cost you anywhere from $400 to $8,000 depending on the brand and type, how big it is, and other extras and amenities. Cabinet installation ranges from $1200 to $13,000, with this number dependent on materials, labor costs, the extent and craftsmanship of cabinet work, custom applications, and how much you need. Countertops vary between $900 for affordable laminate to $6,500 for high-end natural stone, with size and intricacy dictating final cost. Flooring costs up to $7,000, lighting up to $4,000 and sinks up to $6,500. Toilets seem to take top prize for most affordable fixture, between $130 and $780.

Obviously, not every project will require all of the above elements. Perhaps you just want to install a new hot tub, or update the lighting and countertops. The final cost varies by the materials themselves, the availability of those materials in your region, and the amount your contractor charges for installation.

Even though bathroom remodels are on average more affordable than other rooms in the home like the kitchen, don’t neglect your research on a reputable bathroom contractor. Make sure you come up with a detailed budget beforehand to adequately manage your bathroom remodel finances. It’s time you made your money work for you in the form of a luxurious new sanctuary in your home to get away from it all.
