Completing a full standard bathroom remodel offers the best value, with an average return on investment (ROI) of 70%. However, you don't need a full remodel to make an impact. To maximize value, focus on key components like flooring, the tub and shower, vanity, and cabinets. High-value upgrades include installing a walk-in shower, resurfacing a tub, retiling, or expanding the shower. For more budget-friendly options that still increase value, consider repainting with a light, neutral color, or updating the mirror and light fixtures. It's also crucial to address any necessary repairs, such as leaks, mold, or cracked tiles, as buyers will notice these issues. Avoid flashy upgrades like bathtub jets or steam showers, which don't add as much value.

The most common room to remodel is the kitchen, which is unsurprising, as it’s one of the rooms we live in and rely on the most. Bathrooms come in second for similar reasons. Bedrooms, including primary suites, are close behind bathrooms, followed by living room upgrades that can include changing the floor plan to add space or make it more useful.

A bathroom addition project takes five to 12 weeks from the design stage to the end of construction, but it varies with the complexity of the project and your goals. Adding a small half bath takes less time than building a luxurious, high-end primary bathroom. It could also take longer if you need to run new electrical and plumbing in the room.

Yes, you can tile over existing tiles in a bathroom, but it is not always recommended. For this method to be successful, the original tile surface must be clean, flat, and free of damage such as cracks, unevenness, mold, or mildew. While tiling over existing tiles can save time and money, there are potential drawbacks. The new adhesive may not bond properly, and the process adds extra weight to the wall or floor. Additionally, the increased height of the surface could interfere with door clearances. For the best and most durable results, removing the old tiles before installing new ones is generally the better option.
