Bathroom Remodel Cost Broken Down

Breakdown

1. Protect flooring, building a zipper door, plastic dust prevention containment area: $350
2. Bag seal and haul away debris from job site: $150

5. New tub: $950
6. New tile, walls, labor and materials: $5,782
7. New shower door: $1,200

Here are a couple 3 wet wall remodels we have done recently.

Your average grand total from the above breakdown with your new, fresh looking shower or tub with tile walls comes in at $202/month for 60 months at a 5.99% interest rate, or cash out would be $9,382 to $10,332.

If your asking “Why does a bathroom remodel cost so much just for this area and not the rest?”

If you want your Los Angeles bathroom contractor to do a great job, and if your going with someone who has been around for more than 10 years, this means that he is paying several costs to do the job. 50% of that above total is going out the door to pay direct labor and materials. The contractor has not made a penny!

After that, another 38% goes out the door to pay overhead like the following:

• owners salary (120k per year)
• retirement (12k per year )
• Liability insurance
• Work comp
• Secretaries
• telephone
• rent
• truck maintenance
• marketing
• accounting
• legal
• tools

The contractor has only covered his expenses at this point. Now, if the job goes perfect, then the bathroom contractor makes a net profit of 12% which equals $1,239.

So, now that we’ve given you full transparency with a complete breakdown of a bathroom remodel update on the wet area only, let’s move to a full complete master bathroom costs.
