When you want to remodel your bathroom there are a number of factors to consider. Obviously, you want your bath to be attractive, but you want it to be functional, too. And above these two factors, you must consider the cost, because that can determine what you can and can’t do in your bathroom remodel. If you want to remodel your bathroom in the Boston area, here are some costs to consider when planning your project.
The Average Price
Depending on the scale of your remodel and the materials you use, a bathroom remodel in Massachusetts can run anywhere from $2500 to $22,000. The average is about $9500. This average is of all remodels in the state of MA together. How much your Boston area bathroom remodel costs will depend on several variables.
High-End vs. Low-End Hardware
Much of the pricing depends on whether you are going high-end with your bathroom or low-end. If you are going with basic builder grade cabinets and fixtures, you will probably spend around $4000 on a full bathroom remodel. Making your bathroom feel more like a spa is all the rage these days. If you decide to take the high road and turn your bathroom into an oasis, you could spend an average of $17,000.
How Much Remodeling Do You Want To Do?
Another important cost consideration is just how much of your bath do you want to remodel. A remodel could be anything from installing new flooring or a vanity to completely gutting it and starting over. According to Home Adviser, here is how the tasks in a bathroom remodel break down.
- Smaller tasks like replacing light fixtures can cost anywhere from $120 to $4000 – again depending on the size and scope of the job. If you are replacing one overhead light fixture you will obviously be paying less than if you were installing a chandelier or full lighting around the vanity mirror.
- Installing a toilet can run you anywhere from $130 to $800 – and that is just for the installation. A simple builder grade model is easier to install and can cost as little as $100. A fancier model that comes with all the bells and whistles like an automatic toilet seat and a bidet feature can cost as much as $1500.
- Other items that you may choose to switch out as part of your remodel – and the average cost of each – include: bathtub ($3300), cabinets ($6000), counter tops ($3400), shower ($3900), and flooring ($3000).
When you are deciding how to renovate your bathroom, take the time to plan carefully so that you know what you want and will be able to have a good idea of what your budget will be.
