Is it possible to do a bathroom for a family of 4 for less than $2,500.00 ?? A complete gut ? ..well... are you handy at all ?? cause if so.. you can do it for $1,500.00 !!
People automatically focus on the model books - the must have designs, that just don't match the budgets they have to live with. Though, what if you think reasonable(?) I don't mean reasonable products - i mean reasonable places to buy from. I don't mean "the park avenue and fifth avenue places or the dominating home building chain". I mean - you design - you pick out (1) item at a time from another location other than the BIG chains or maybe a clearance item .. there and there...
I have desgined and built bathrooms from $1,500.00 to $10,000.00 .. i know, the $1,500.00 is the person who can do it himself - BUT $2,500.00 is you bringing subs in for typical bathroom size of 8'-0" x 14'-0" (112sf).
Let's see... a $2,000.00 plan...
650.00 - total demo and reboard/plaster
350.00 - install new tub basin and shower valave set
575.00 - tile job (10 x13 tiles)
350.00 - vanity/sink with faucet
300.00 - finish tile floor
100.00 - new exhaust fan/light
45.00 - vanity light
200.00 - 2 color paint scheme
200.00 - new toilet
125.00 - moldings
45.00 - wooden window treatment
85.00 - mirror with room props
..now this product selection is $3,025.00 .. however, take off 10% or add 10% for personal preferences of selecting the product - your average is $2,750.00 with sub-contractos/handypeople. If you are capable of doing most of the work by yourself, take off another 20%.. $2,200.00! Not bad at all. work your selections and the prices will change - pick the clearance/discontinued items..watch the savings.
