SCENARIO 1- STANDARD BATH WITH TUB (+/- 50 SF)
Overview
This scenario illustrates the cost associated with remodeling an existing 5’x7’ bathroom with a tub. In addition to the initial consultation and design of the space, this bathroom will be completely demolished, plumbing and electric will be updated to meet the current code requirements, and each will be relocated as per the new design plan. We will replace all the existing fixtures with new ones, including a new tub, toilet, vanity, lighting, accessories, faucets, etc. New ceramic or porcelain tile will be installed on the bathroom floor and around the tub walls. Also included in the installation is a surface-mount mirror installation, new trims and base molding, and painted walls, ceiling, and woodwork.
This is one of our most common bathroom remodeling projects, as almost every home in the Philadelphia and surrounding areas has at least one standard bathroom. Usually this type of project takes between 14 and 17 working days to complete.
Even though most standard bathrooms are very similar in size and shape, we always perform an in-home estimate before we sign an agreement, which allows us to inspect existing conditions and the complexity of the job. We can also account for any other items that may need to be addressed both to ensure a successful job and to exceed customer expectations.
Keep in mind that the costs listed below are just averages based on projects we’ve completed in the past. Before we sign a contract, we will visit your home for an in-home remodeling assessment, which will be followed by a detailed proposal and cost estimate tailored specifically to your unique project.
