$40K+ - that is a lot of labor, and supplies.

We were quoted 20k and 25k for similar size and scope (two baths, so that's one at 20 and the other at 25) and after some framing repair, higher end choices than the allowances, a little additional wall tiling, and a small area of asbestos tile removal we came in at 74K total.

$20k minimum for a low end contractor

Is that "all-in" or just for labor and construction materials?

Full gut and remodel - demo ($2500) then all new: drywall ($1500-2500 hang, tape/bed, texture) (except ceiling), subfloor, (who knows, depends on extent, perhaps $2000 to $3000) minor framing support, ($500-1000) electrical, (vague, complete rewire and new ground fault breakers $1500-3000) fan,($400 installed) 5 recessed lights along with new vanity light, ($1500-3000 installed depending on quality) and all new plumbing. (vague, depending on distance and assuming 1 sink/toilet/shower, between $2000 to $4000) Durock tub/shower area ($500) along with custom two level 40x15 niche with two tiers (what?).

New: Single Home Depot vanity 48inches, (add your price plus 50% for install.) kohler toilet and all faucets (get better quality brands if you are spending this much, don't cheap out on that brand) along with fiberglass (really?) soaking tub. (no clue) Also, new paint and baseboard moldings and quarter round. ($1500-2000 for trim work and painting entire room)

Tile is higher end marble 4x12 pieces in the tub/shower and floor is standard porcelain/ceramic (add price of materials and add 100% the price for install)

Others: Schluter heated floor and thermostat. (No clue) Frameless tub/shower doors. ($1500-2000)

Get to calculating it up.

That would be all in. I paid around $13k all in for a similar scope (except the heated floors) quite a while ago.

Also, I’d like to advise you against using marble tiles, but you’ve probably already been warned.

Wow--thanks for this. It's very helpful benchmarking!

I know Toto is good for toilets. What are the better brands for faucets and shower fixtures?

I recommended a faucet from this site to someone else in a thread. I have no experience with this website/business, but just use it as a reference for higher end milled/machined faucets compared to cast parts. You will feel the difference when you get into the higher end stuff. It is made to last and be user repairable if they ever need washers, parts, etc.

There are other websites that deal in higher end faucets also. Search in the $500-1200 range. https://www.kingstonbrass.com/products/kingston-brass-ks142klbb-brushed-brass

I did a hall bathroom of 5x7 pull and replace in our 1960s house earlier this year. Was $19,500 all in.

Panorama remodeling in Vienna. Picked them through Google reviews. They were great.

When I did a similar bathroom but in 2014, it was $12k. So only get price references for someone whose done the work recently or at least after covid.

$25-$30k but depends on how much tile needs to be removed and how much damage is done to the walls. Why home depot vanity? If you are doing to do that that work, get something that's at least not particle board.

Not OP, but that is a very unattractive vanity-maybe one of the most unattractive I’ve ever seen.
