One of the issues when adding additional space to a house is being able to match the exterior. We could not have asked for a better match…the garage and addition look like they have always been there! Thanks Sally and Don for giving us the opportunity to serve you!
Creating a budget for a bathroom remodel requires careful consideration of various factors, including design choices, materials, labor costs, and unexpected expenses. Here’s a structured approach to help you develop a comprehensive plan.
Step 1: Set Your Overall Budget
Determine Your Total Budget: Decide how much you can afford for the entire remodel. Decisions should balance needs and wants while considering functionality and style.
Consider Financing Options: If your budget is tight, explore financing options such as personal loans, credit cards, or home equity lines of credit.
Step 2: Research Average Costs
Gather information on average costs for different elements of the remodel. Here’s a breakdown of common expenses:
Electrical (GFI plugs, switches, can lights, RI wiring for lights, install fixtures, etc.)
$150 – $1500+
Step 3: Prioritize Needs and Wants
Needs vs. Wants: List out what is essential for the remodel (e.g., functioning plumbing, safety features) versus what would simply enhance the space (e.g., luxury fixtures).
Make Trade-offs: Determine where you can compromise to manage costs effectively.
Step 4: Consider Unexpected Expenses
Contingency Fund: Allocate 10% to 20% of your total budget for unexpected costs, such as finding mold, plumbing issues, or changes in design that require extra funds.
Step 5: Get Quotes and Estimates
Multiple Quotes: Request estimates from various contractors to compare costs.
Step 6: Finalize Your Budget
Adjust as Needed: Based on quotes and final decisions, adjust your budget accordingly.
Step 7: Communication and Management
Stay in Touch with Contractors: Regularly communicate with your contractor to ensure the project stays within budget and upon schedule.
Reassess as You Go: Be prepared to reassess your budget as new needs or expenses arise.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage your bathroom remodel budget while achieving your desired outcomes. If you have specific features or styles in mind, let me know, and I can help further customize your planning!

Tub to shower conversions are a popular renovation option. Why? The most appealing reason is accessibility. These showers have a lower threshold than the shower tub counterpart, making it easier to step in.
Another pro to this option is custom size. Whether it has tiled walls, concrete panels, or manufactured panel sides like Wet Wall these types of showers can be designed to fit almost any size constraints.
Finally, conversion showers typically require less maintenance (ie less crevices) while creating a sophisticated and modern look. Here are some of our latest conversions…
Who says a practical budget can’t be cute? This little room is oozing with style! The white shiplap and floor brightens the room. Custom cabinets (Kudos to Nick) offer much needed storage in such a tight area. The stylish butcher block top add warmth and depth while the customer’s adorable laundry decor add the final touches to turn a cluttered area into a bright and inviting workspace. Great job DxD team…we helped another customer’s vision come to life.
