Bathroom Renovation - A Good Investment?
If you read any of the latest hot trends about bathrooms, you quickly discover that the cost to remodel with all the upscale items quickly becomes a large sum of money. Many people figure that they can recoup this investment when they resell their home in the future. Many real estate agents will tell you this is a good investment, and that doing so increases value. This is, of course, true. But when do you reach a point where throwing more money at a bathroom remodel no longer increases your home value? Careful analysis should be made on any project of this kind to save you grief down the road. Here, we will discuss the cost of a bathroom remodel versus your return on investment, with number figures whenever possible. We will also look at good advice for anyone considering a bathroom remodel.
Cost Of Remodeling
First things first. You must decide whether
you wish to simply renovate or want a knock-out-walls,
put-in-custom-plumbing type of remodel. A
typical bathroom upgrade would mean removing
and reinstalling updated fixtures in a typical
5 X 7 foot bathroom. A new vanity would be installed,
using pre-manufactured assemblies. New flooring
would be installed, and the room would be painted.
The install would use existing plumbing. Walls
and ceiling would not be updated. It does not
include any removal or replacement of walls.
According to Upsacale Remodeling Experts,
plan to pay around $10,000 for this.
A complete bathroom remodel is of course
much more expensive. It would include the above,
plus things such as new lighting and an exhaust
fan. The contractor would install new tile flooring
and paint. An exhaust fan would be installed,
along with a new vanity light and mirror. Existing
plumbing would be utilized. This will cost
you about $15,000 and up.
If you go for the whole enchilada, you are
talking serious dollars here. Plan on the contractor
to do everything as listed above, plus better
amenities. They might install a new shower enclosure,
or install ceramic tile around the bathtub/shower
area. New plumbing and electrical would be
installed to code. In a plan such as this,
the contractor should deal with you on certain
items you may want. Plan on dropping between
$22,000 to $30,000.00 and up.
The Return On Investment
Return on investment is hard to figure in
a bathroom remodel. Many real estate agents
recommend it, and studies show that bathroom
and kitchen upgrades increases the value of
the home. Research shows that your return on
investment will be about 86%. In other words,
if you drop $10K on a remodel, you would get
back about $8,600.00. It is up to the individual
to determine whether this investment is worth
it when deciding to sell their home. There
are times, of course, when you have no other
choice but to do an upgrade, especially in an
older home. It is best to consider other homes
in your area, your asking price when you might
decide to sell, and how much you might make
on the home. For the average home owner, this
is a tough decision.
Things To Consider
The prices we are talking about here do not
take into consideration that the contractor
might run into problems when doing the remodel.
A bathroom that has not been upgraded in 25
years is certain to have problems with wiring
and plumbing. You run the possibility of finding
black mold when redoing plumbing behind walls,
or when taking out old carpeting in your bathroom.
Another consideration is who might buy your
home. Research shows that a couple with children
wants a bathroom with a tub, while older people
with minor disabilities wish to have a shower
in their bathroom. It is of course hard to
foresee who might buy your home, but again consider
your neighborhood. Unless you live in the middle
of a retirement community, the choice you make
on remodel can seriously affect both the price
of your resale or a buyer willing to buy your
home as is.
Other Decisions
Remember too that when doing a remodel, you
might have to make major adjustments on plumbing
or electrical, depending on where you live geographically.
It would be to your benefit to call the City
Clerk in the town where you live before making
any major renovations. They might require that
you bring things up to code. If so, your budget
is going to have a huge hole in it. Whatever
you do before attempting this, do your due diligence.
This article has focused on a contractor doing
the entire job. You can probably save a lot
of money by doing some of the work yourself.
Whatever the case, build something your whole
family will enjoy.
