Did you know that adding a bathroom to your house can cost
anywhere from $80,000 -$200,000? The amount will depend on the size of your
home and if there is already an existing bathroom in it.
When deciding whether or not to add one, think about what your needs are. Do you have more than two people living with you? If so, adding a bathroom may be necessary for convenience purposes. Talk to your contractor today about how much it would cost!
How much does an extra bathroom add to your
house?
It's not uncommon to find
multiple kids sharing a bathroom or even having a parent use it as well! If
you're building your new dream house from the ground up, how much does an extra
bathroom cost? This blog post will explore this question and provide some
insight on what you can expect if you decide to add that third (or fourth)
toilet in your home.
I had a friend that was in
the process of building his house. He asked me to help him figure out how much
it would cost to add an extra bathroom on the ground floor.
I contacted several
contractors and got quotes ranging from $6,000 – $9,000 for this job depending
on what size he wanted and whether or not he needed an additional room with a
toilet as well.
It's important to know these
things before you start construction so that you can plan accordingly!
How long does it take to add a new bathroom?
There are a number of
considerations to keep in mind when deciding how long it will take to add a new
bathroom, including the size and complexity of the remodel.
A simple, small bathroom with
just one toilet may take as little as three days if you have all your materials
on hand and do not need any permits or inspections.
On the other hand, adding an
entire suite which includes two toilets and has more complex plumbing could
take up to four weeks depending on your contractor's availability.
Ultimately, there is no set
time frame for when a project will be completed but by understanding what goes
into adding a new bathroom you can better prepare yourself for how much time
this process might require.
Conclusion:
In order to determine how much it would cost to add a
bathroom, you should consider the costs of plumbing and electrical work.
You will also need to know what type of materials are
required for your specific project. For example, if you're building an addition
onto your house or converting an existing room into a full-fledged bathroom,
there may be some additional expenses depending on whether you need special
permits or not.
The best way to get accurate quotes is by contacting
licensed professionals such as plumbers and electricians in your area who
specialize in this kind of work.
Your local hardware store should have all the necessary
supplies that might be needed for installing fixtures like water heaters and
toilets.
