Full Bathroom Remodels in Arvada

New tub or shower, tile, vanity, flooring and lighting; the most common mid-range job in Arvada runs $28,000–$45,000 with a custom tile shower and glass. Arvada remodelers publish tiers that line up closely:

• Guest or hall bathroom: a new vanity, toilet, flooring, tub or shower replacement, lighting and paint, typically $12,000–$25,000.
• Mid-range remodel: a custom tile shower with glass, a double vanity, new flooring, lighting and permits, typically $28,000–$45,000, the most common range for Arvada homeowners.
• Primary bathroom: a larger shower, double vanities and premium tile, from $25,000.

The Arvada bathroom remodel cost guide puts all the published ranges side by side.

Labor is the biggest line: it often accounts for 40%–50% of a bathroom remodel budget, according to an Arvada remodeling firm.

Finishes are the next swing. Porcelain tile runs $5 to $30 per square foot, and a framed shower door $700 to $1,200 against $1,500 to $3,500 for a frameless enclosure. If the tub is staying out for good, read about tub-to-shower conversions before you settle the layout.

Subfloor damage from past leaks, mold behind shower walls and improper venting are among the costs homeowners don't expect in older Arvada homes, local contractors say. A Denver builder tells clients to carry a contingency of 10 to 15 percent on top of the quoted price for that reason.

The median Arvada home was built in 1979, so plenty of bathrooms predate 1978, the year that triggers federal lead-safe work rules. The guide to choosing a remodeler covers what to ask.

Yes. The city requires a permit for remodeling bathrooms, and a contractor needs a City of Arvada licence before it can obtain one. Fees, homeowner permits and the licence rules for each trade are in the Arvada bathroom permit guide.
