How to Accurately Estimate Your Bathroom Remodel
Measure Your Space
Measure length and width to calculate square footage. Note ceiling height, window/door locations, and existing plumbing/electrical positions. Take photos for reference.
Select Fixtures, Finishes, and Features
Choose shower/tub type, countertop material, cabinet quality, flooring, and fixtures. Visit showrooms to see materials in person. Create a wishlist with product numbers and prices.
Factor in Labor and Installation Costs
Labor typically represents 40-50% of total cost. Get quotes from 3-5 licensed contractors. Verify insurance, licenses, and references. Expect $40-$100/hour depending on location.
Account for Additional or Unexpected Expenses
Add 10-20% contingency for surprises (hidden water damage, code updates, permit fees). Budget for temporary bathroom solutions during renovation (typically 2-4 weeks).
