What a bathroom remodel costs in Chicago.

Most Chicago contractors won't give you a number until someone has been to your house. We do it the other way around. Here is what a bathroom remodel actually costs, so you can plan before you commit to anything.

What Drives the Number

A few things move the price more than anything else.

Bathroom cost in Chicago tracks with the size of the room, whether the layout changes, the finishes you pick, and what we find behind the walls. Older Chicago homes often hide outdated plumbing or moisture damage under decades-old tile, which is why one flat price up front is usually either padded or destined to balloon.

We handle that differently. We separate labor from materials and trade work, so you see exactly where your money goes instead of trusting one lump number.

By Budget Tier

Three Finish Packs, three budget ranges.

EssentialQuality Basics

A clean, well-built remodel with durable, straightforward finishes. The starting point for most projects.

Mid-RangeMost Chosen

Better tile, better fixtures, more room to make the space your own. Where most homeowners land.

PremiumDesigner-Led

Custom work and high-end materials for a primary bath you plan to keep for years. Runs to around $37,000, with fully custom builds priced at your site visit.

Pricing across the three tiers runs from about $15,000 to $37,000, with fully custom builds priced at your site visit. See the full breakdown on our Finish Packs page.

How the Price Reads

Labor, materials, and our project fee, each on its own line.

Labor is set by the space. Materials are chosen in your Finish Pack range, billed at cost. The 18% project fee applies to your labor and materials total and covers the design of your project, sourcing and delivery of every material, and the scheduling and oversight of every trade. You see all three as separate lines, so nothing is hidden inside a single number.

How a standard tub bath reads

Labor, set by the space$14,000 to 16,000
Materials (Mid-Range, at cost)$3,500 to 7,000
Project fee, 18% of the total$3,150 to 4,140
All-in range$20,650 to 27,140
Small Bathrooms

A smaller room still has to be done right.

Smaller bathrooms generally start in our Essential range. The footprint is smaller, but the same plumbing, waterproofing, and tile work still has to be done right, which is what protects the project for years.

Permits

We handle the permit process.

Permit requirements differ across the city and the suburbs, and that affects both cost and timeline. We handle the permit process either way and tell you up front what your project needs.

Why don't you post one flat price?

Every bathroom is different. A flat price is either padded to cover the unknowns or it balloons with change orders. Finish Packs give you an honest range, and the estimate refines it.

What's included in the price?

We separate labor, materials, and our 18% project fee onto their own lines so you always see where your money goes.
