Title of Question:
Tutting 2 bathrooms and rebulding them.
Name:tina City: SF bay area
|
| Question: Our house has a 13*5 bath, small closet and another 5*7 bath. All of these fold into a 13*9 space and we'd like to gut everything and put in 2 bathrooms of about 6*9 each.
The project would involve tearing down the existing walls(including plumbing wall) and moving plumbing/electrical around but within a few feet to a newly erected wall that separates the 2 bathrooms.
Assuming we go with midrange materials, is $15-20K too optimistic. |
Post Your Answer To The Question Above:
| Answer: The cost will depend on how much you are doing yourself and whether you find any surprises in the walls. This sounds like a great home improvement project and good reuse of your space, but if you don't have plumbing experience, you are better off hiring a plumber. You can always do the gutting yourself, but rerouting the pipes takes some experience. If you are hiring a plumber then, yes, your estimate seems low. If you are doing a lot yourself and are careful about what you buy, then you could make it. Or, maybe let the plumber do the main stuff and you do the gutting and hook up faucets, etc. Also look for no interest financing deals if you are buying products through a home improvement store. You'll at least defer paying for some of it. Good luck! |
