For homes in Springfield, IL, or Decatur, IL, the typical range for a bathroom remodel will start around $17,000 and reach $30,000, with master bathrooms usually starting around $40,000 and up. Because every project and living space is unique, the final price you spend will depend on size and scope. The more high-end amenities that require specialized installation and equipment, the higher your cost will climb.
The trick is to find a balance between the bathroom you envision and the budget you’re working within. As long as you hire a reputable contractor and work with quality materials, your project should be a collaboration on finding this balance.
The answer to this question depends on the size of your bathroom and the level of remodeling you’re hoping to accomplish. Also, the industry standard is to set aside at least 10% of your budget for any unexpected challenges. This could be water damage, change orders, old plumbing, or anything unknown at the time of the design.
When deciding how much you're comfortable spending on a remodel, it's essential to consider allocating a contingency fund for the unexpected. This will ensure your project stays comfortably within budget while still being able to address all of your remodel's needs.
