For bathroom remodeling, consider the following factors:
The cost of remodeling your bathroom or kitchen in Seattle can fluctuate based on the chosen materials. Creating a lavishly expensive look in a bathroom or kitchen, requires expensive materials. High-end materials like marble, granite, or quartz for countertops, and natural stone or designer tiles for flooring or walls, tend to be more expensive compared to standard materials. Cabinets make up a lot of a kitchen's total material costs. The type of wood, style, finish, and hardware used for cabinets significantly impact the cost. Custom, high-quality cabinets tend to be more expensive compared to stock or semi-custom options. The quality and grade of the materials, such as the thickness of the countertop, grade of the wood for cabinets, or quality of fixtures, influence the cost. Higher quality grades often come at a premium. The size of the bathroom or kitchen directly correlates to the amount of material required. A larger bathroom or kitchen will generally require more materials, including cabinets, flooring, tiles, paint, and fixtures. Different brands have varying price points for similar materials, depending on the brand that the homeowner may prefer. Features like underfloor heating, built-in sound systems, or smart home integration may require specialized materials, contributing to higher costs. The quality, brand, and features of kitchen appliances like ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, and microwaves affect the overall cost. High-end, professional-grade appliances are more expensive. The type and design of materials used for the backsplash, such as ceramic tiles, glass, or natural stone, as well as the extent of coverage, affect the cost. Any specialized storage solutions, like pull-out shelves, pantry organizers, or built-in storage units, will also add to the cost. Nevertheless, before committing to this budget, it's strongly advised to engage with a CraftHaus contractor for personalized project insights, ensuring your budget aligns realistically with your comfort level.

Average Total Material Cost - Kitchen:

Often, homeowners can take on home renovation projects on their own, depending on how much skills and experience they have with the DIY project they have in mind. Other times, more complicated larger projects require more technical items like installing, repairing, and maintaining pipes, wiring, or installing conduits, which calls for a general contractor. A small sized bathroom remodel can cost around $8,000 with materials making up around $3,000. An average sized bathroom that can cost around $15,000, has materials making up around $7,000. A larger master bathroom that has a total cost of $25,000, has materials making up around $14,000. The rest of the total cost is time and work put in for labor.
