Paint
Paint is one of the most inexpensive parts of the remodel but makes a huge difference in the way your bathroom looks. This is something we recommend you DIY unless you have a unique design that requires a professional.
Toilet
Toilet and installation costs are one of the lowest when it comes to a bathroom remodel. Obviously depending on the quality of the toilet.
Cabinets
There is a wide variety of cabinets with a range of prices. Shop around local stores like Home Depot or Floor & Decor. Although you can buy the cabinets yourself, we recommend your local bathroom contractor to do the installation for you. There are some things that a contractor should do to help avoid bigger problems later down the road.
Vanity
Vanities typically include a counter, cabinets, and a sink with faucets however always double-check at your local store. Shopping for vanities at your local store or online gives you flexibility in choosing the right vanity you like. Unless you are experienced, have a professional install the vanity for you because it involves plumbing.
Flooring
The costs of flooring simply depend on the quality you want. There are materials like Vinyl & Porcelain. Consult with your local bathroom remodeler when deciding what’s best for you.
Plumbing
Plumbing is NOT a fun DIY project. It must be done by a professional especially when relocating pipes for more extensive bathroom remodels. Plumbing is an expensive service but well worth it to avoid major leaks in your home.
Shower
Depending on the features and material of your shower will dictate the costs. Showers with stone or porcelain with bench seats cost more compared to acrylic. Again, consult with a bathroom remodeling contractor to help you choose your shower.
