Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Remodeling

Q: Which bathrooms have the most value after a remodel?

A bathroom remodel can increase your home's value more than any other remodeling project. According to national figures, midrange bathroom remodels have a return on investment of nearly 73%. In some areas, the return can be much higher. A bathroom addition returns the most value, averaging 86%. Whether you decide to update an existing bathroom or build a bathroom addition, it will surely enhance your home and life.

Bathroom upgrades with the highest return are flooring, vanities, cabinets, showers, and tubs. The top three include updated backsplashes and floors with classic tiles or mixed materials, durable and beautiful slab countertops, and universal design elements like curb-less showers and wheelchair accessibility.

Other popular upgrades like steam showers, walk-in luxury showers, custom spas, and jet tubs don't add as much value, but if they're part of your dream bathroom vision, they can be valuable to your well-being and enjoyment.

Q: How long does it take to do a full bathroom remodel?

Estimating the time to remodel a bathroom is challenging, as many factors go into how long it will take. Full bathroom remodels take more time than cosmetic ones, as they often involve scheduling electrical and plumbing services. You may decide to change the layout, tear out walls, or move existing fixtures. If special materials need to be ordered, it may cause delays as you wait for delivery.
