What Drives the Cost?

1. Size of the Bathroom

A small powder room (30-50 sq ft) costs significantly less than a full primary bathroom (100-200 sq ft). Larger spaces require more tile, more plumbing, and more labor.

2. Material Selections

Porcelain tile vs. natural stone, laminate vs. quartz countertops - your material choices are the biggest variable. In Colorado, we recommend moisture-resistant materials that handle our dry climate well.

3. Plumbing Changes

Moving a toilet, shower, or sink from its current location adds $2,000-$5,000+ to your project. Keeping fixtures in place saves money.

4. Permits & Code Compliance

Fort Collins, Loveland, and Greeley each have their own permitting requirements. Budget $500-$1,500 for permits on a full remodel.

Tips to Maximize Your Budget
