Planning for a Bathroom Remodel Budget breakdown: Once you establish your budget and start hunting for materials, consider the National Kitchen and Bath Association’s cost breakdown as a guide: Design fees: 4 % Installation: 20 % Fixtures: 15 % Cabinetry and hardware: 16 % Countertops: 7 % Lighting and ventilation: 5 % Flooring: 9 % Doors and windows: 4 % Walls and ceilings: 5 % Faucets and plumbing: 14 % Other: 1 % Of course, it’s up to you where to spend and where to splurge, but this breakdown is a good starting point. Plus, remember to reserve an additional 10 to 20 percent for unforeseen costs that might come up during construction. When to remodel: You can do a bathroom remodel pretty much any time of year. The most common time to start is during the winter or spring. How long it will take: Expect a month or two of planning and picking out materials and finishes. Clients usually spend about four to six months doing their own research and figuring out their budget and project scope before contacting a designer. Expect three to eight weeks for construction, depending on the scope.
