Bathroom
Remodeling Estimates Guide
Bathroom remodeling estimates can range
from
those that are cheap to those that are quite
expensive.
Estimates generally vary according to the
type of materials that are required to complete the project
that you want to perform in the bathroom.
I have taken some time to compile a list of
statistical figures as far as estimates are concerned for
different remodeling projects that are typically performed in
the bathroom of a home and/or business. If you are interested
in bathroom remodeling estimates, this guide may prove to be
very helpful.
Cosmetic Changes
Estimates for cosmetic changes in the
bathroom are among the least expensive. Cosmetic changes are a
type of makeover for this room. These changes may include
creating a new color scheme in the room, removing mildew and
mold stains and then repainting, replacing fixtures that appear
to be old and rusty, and perhaps even adding new curtains
and/or organizational units to the room.
Many individuals may elect to add new
wallpaper, or even replace a countertop in the room. You will
need take all of the projects that you want to complete, and
then determine what materials that you will need.
Once you have established the materials that
will be necessary to complete the job, you will need to
determine the price of the materials and then multiple that
amount times the amount of tax that you have to pay in your
area. You will find that there are inexpensive materials, and
that there are materials that are relatively expensive.
It is important to learn as much as you can
about the materials that you select. As with any product, you
will have low quality materials and then you will have high
quality materials. Selecting high quality materials for your
bathroom is the best choice because the changes you make will
hold up longer. The simple changes mentioned here can range
anywhere from as little as $50.00 to as much as $500.00.
Tile Additions
One of the most popular bathroom remodeling
jobs includes tile additions. These tile additions are
typically either added to the walls of the room, or the floor.
In many cases, tile may be added to countertops or even in the
stall where the shower is located, or the walls that surround
the bathtub.
Tile additions bring about a change in the
room that is quite dramatic. Estimates of each tile piece range
from about $5.00 to $15.00. While this is rather expensive, and
has been deemed as the single most expensive change that can
take place in the bathroom, but it is also considered to be one
of the best changes that can be made because tile lasts for
years and years!
Let’s say that that you want to use tile to
enhance the area around the bathtub. This area typically
consists of about three different walls. We will say that the
area is 70 to 80 square feet. If this is the case, the total
job will run anywhere from $350.00 based on tiles that are
$5.00 each, or $1200.00 based on 80 square feet with tiles that
cost $15.00 a piece. Now, let’s say that you want to do the
bathroom floor. Naturally, the square footage has a lot to do
with the overall price, but you have to understand that you may
need to repair the current floor; you may want to put in a
subfloor, or other types of addition.
You are looking at the costs of the tile,
the grout, the sealant, and any type of subflooring that is
required, so you can expect to pay anywhere from about $400.00
to about $2,000.00. While this may seem like quite an expense,
it is important to understand that tile flooring is very
durable and lasts for many, many years! The best part about
renovation with tile for improvement in the bath area of the
home is that you can do it yourself! This reduces the cost of
hiring a professional.
Conclusion
As you can see here, if you are interested
in do it yourself bath improvements and renovation to your
bathroom, the bathroom remodeling estimates can vary from cheap
to rather expensive. It is best to shop around for deals, like
wholesale and clearance items, but you must also shop around
for quality. Quality is very important in ensuring that you
earn a return on your investment. Now, you know how to get the
best bathroom remodeling estimates.
