If you’re considering remodeling your bathroom or adding an extra bathroom, one of your first questions will be: how much will it cost? While cost is contingent on countless factors, the Remodeling 2016 Cost vs. Value Report  provides average estimates based on the size and scope of the project as well as the geographical area. Let’s break these bathroom remodel cost estimates into four categories.

Midrange Bathroom Remodels

Cost vs. Value defines midrange bathroom remodels as five-by-seven foot areas in which all fixtures are replaced to include a tub with surrounding wall tile, a standard toilet, a vanity with a sink, a recessed medicine cabinet with lighting, and ceramic tile flooring. In the Chicago area, these remodels cost an average of $22,213.

Midrange Bathroom Additions

The average cost for midrange bathroom additions in the Chicago North shore area comes in at $52,311. This cost is based on a six-by-eight foot bathroom featuring a tub/shower, a low-profile toilet, a vanity with a standard sink and faucet, a mirrored medicine cabinet, a linen storage cabinet, and tile flooring.

Upscale Bathroom Remodels

Chicago upscale bathroom remodels are quoted at an average of $64,584. Although this estimate is higher, so are its amenities. These remodels include, on average, a remodel of a 35-square-foot area to a 100-square-foot master bathroom remodel area. Amenities include a 42-by-42 inch glass and tile shower with body-spray fixtures and a shower caddy. This also includes a whirlpool tub, a separate room with a toilet, stone countertops with dual vanities, two mirrored medicine cabinets, large ceramic tile flooring, wall cabinets, and an extended HVAC system.

Upscale Bathroom Additions

Finally, upscale bathroom additions are the priciest at an average of $91,389, but they also provide the most radical transformation of space. The dimensions and features for an upscale bathroom addition match those listed above for upscale bathroom remodels.

Every Remodel is Different

Although these figures give ballpark estimates for your own bathroom remodel cost or bathroom addition cost, it’s important to remember that prices vary based on individual project specifications, the quality of materials used, and the Chicago North Shore area remodeling company with which you are contracting. It’s important to approach your project with an open mind, remembering that experienced contractors may make adjustments to these figures to match your individual circumstances.
