Cost questions

Before you settle on a budget

01What raises the price of a bathroom?

A larger room, a toilet or drain in a new spot, a shower with no curb, natural stone, a heated floor or a freestanding tub. In the 1950s homes of Greenhills and Forest Park, old pipes and soft subfloor add to it.

02What is outside this number?

Moving walls, moving the main stack, structural repair and any work beyond the bathroom itself.

03Is a bath in Montgomery priced higher than one in Springdale?

Pay rates barely change across these towns, since one pool of crews covers them. The house makes the difference: an 1890s Glendale bathroom hides more than one built in 1998.

04If labor is one slice, what are the others?

Tile, vanity and fixtures, glass, permit fees, the overhead of running a crew, and a normal margin. All of them are broken out below.
