How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost in Middle Tennessee?

A question we often receive from customers who are interested in remodeling their bathroom is, “how much roughly is a new bathroom going to cost?”. 

     Of course, the price could vary substantially, but I am writing this article to provide clarity and options to people who are interested in remodeling their bathroom yet have no clue as to what it might cost.

     Something to consider as you are researching for a bathroom remodel is what are the main goals of remodeling the bathroom? Are you primarily concerned with building a more functional bathroom, or are you someone who is interested in style and higher end finishes?

     Is this bathroom a private master bathroom or a guest bathroom? Will this bathroom be primarily to add value to the home for resale or renting it out? The variables are endless, but we will address the homeowner who seeks to enjoy their new bathroom in this article and try to give some guidelines on what it may cost.

Bathroom Remodel Cost Breakdown

Here is the answer you are searching for:

For a half-bathroom remodel, you can expect to spend anywhere from $15,000 to $35,000 to have a contractor remodel the entire bathroom.

For a full-bathroom remodel, you can expect to spend anywhere from $30,000 to $80,000 depending on the size of the bathroom, quality of finishes, and complexity of the project.

Of course, this is a general rule of thumb that you as a homeowner can use to set realistic expectations of what a professional contractor will charge for a complete bathroom remodel.

These prices are for a turn-key bathroom remodel including the price of all the materials, labor, fixtures, and design of the bathroom. 

To clarify further, let me provide an example that will help you understand the difference between a $30,000 and $80,000 bathroom remodel.
