Fact or Fact: $20k is too much for a master bathroom renovation.

AnukBinary · M
Depends on what they're putting in there. However generally speaking yes its absurd
My hunch is it is that much based on one of the following;

Limited contractor skills
Use of the Craftsman pricing book
Use of a material that isn't friendly
A single dimension
Local plumbing practices
Failure to think big enough
@questionWeaver: Will do. I suspect the house might need a repiping, so I'll be sure we allocate funds for that.
@XamadtheFirst:

CPVC pipe ... and consider electronic 12v valves

Don't let them go back to copper or iron pipe
@questionWeaver: Will do!

Depends on the purpose. If you're trying to flip a mansion or something like that, then no. For one that is actually for living in by a normal person, yes.
If you're spending 20K flipping a house, you're doing something wrong.
Yeah, flipping a mansion right could cost anywhere between $900k-$1.2 mil. Just talking a bathroom.
You're not going to spend $1.9mil improving a house and sell it and make a profit that's worth the effort.
I've seen enough of those house flipper shows.

More than fact
Does it come with a Gerard Butler who will hand wash me daily?

Depends on your resources. I had to pay $10k to rebuild my master bathroom, in a relatively cheap house in AR, and that was really about the minimum I could get away with (a necessary repair, not a luxury remodel, as the supports & flooring were rotting away).

That's a bit ridiculous, but we're doin that here too.
For just a basic = way too much.
Major one = pretty accurate.

not really that much if you are redoing the whole thing

If you're super wealthy, no. 😎
