If you have been thinking about remodeling your bathroom or bathrooms, you may be wondering how much this remodel will cost and if it will be worth it. How much it actually costs to remodel your bathroom will depend on the size of the bathroom and what you want to change or replace.
The best way to break down the costs of a bathroom remodel is to think about each separate part and what costs are involved for each separate piece.
The Bathroom Renovation Cost Breakdown
The National Kitchen & Bath Association has a breakdown of what costs are involved and what part of these costs make up the overall cost of your bathroom remodel.
- Installation 20%
