Here is what a $100,000 remodel looks like. ua-cam.com/video/xOWq5eACpws/v-deo.html
You could not get worse advertisement than this..... Are you kidding me?..... $5000?!..... for what exactly?!..... why not $10,000?!.....
@@stnln2180 what dooya mean?
So many haters in the comment section.
Would I pay $5000 for this job? Heck no. There are people out there who don't want to do a single bit of manual labor and have no issue with paying darn near any price for labor work. Good for him on finding a good paying market.
This is a true Blue Collor American job. I think doing stuff like this is actually fun.
Thanks fellow “Handyman”. Since watching this video and your bathroom cost estimating video last year, I’ve done about a dozen small bathrooms and one big bathroom. It has become a niche market for me here, as there are fewer and fewer people competent enough to do this job.
Hey Handy.
Everything I've ever known about laying down tile is, dont forget to "Back Butter"
Now, ive only ever done, 2 tile jobs, both being in my own house.
Maybe im missing something here?
...Joel
Love your videos just found them yesterday. I've been in the plumbing heating and ac industry for 23 years. I also used to remodel bathrooms on the side at night and weekends as well years ago. Great work keep it up man your very good at what you do and very versatile within all trades that's awesome to see! You take pride in your work and are very efficient it's sorely lacking these days.
I worked fort certainteed gypsum, and we made that tile board you have in this video its called TPC, or Diamond back, its specifically for hanging tile in bathrooms, because its water proof. Cool to see you using it!
That concrete backer board is the only way to go for bathroom applications.
I like the way you did this, fast fwd but no real breaks in action and showing the sequence from start to finish
like you said also good detail about why you can charge what you charge and you booked out for months, so you are doing something right.
if you as a homeowner are wondering about the price an thinking, hell I can do that for much less. I do this for a living and will tell you. #1. he's in San Francisco #2 because of his years of experience, this is made to look easy. try it yourself and see. hell just try baseboards in your house and see how that goes. seems simple, right? #3 we don't know the price of the fixtures and are guessing from our own sense of style what we think they should cost. This is a decent price for a good quality job in a high cost of living area. I'm in Georgia and would still charge about $3800, and customers that know how much things cost, and also know the quality of my work, will not balk at all. Finally #4 any of you talking crap about the job and price are not his target customer for a very good reason. keep it up man. new subscriber to this and your other channel, and I'm binge watching some of your vids right now. great job, great advice and I thank you for that.
Sign of a good handyman: perfectly happy to read the directions if needed.
(and yes, I'm totally serious)
Thanks for the awesome videos!!! :)
That closet flange on the toilet wasn’t high enough after you tiled. Betcha the wax seal was barely contacting.
A trick without replacing the stack is to use these new foam toilet flange seals (HomeDepot). They’re long lasting and will give you an inch or two of correction.
Cheers to all.
Dude you’re so incredibly talented. Fellow electrician here. Would be a privilege for you to work on my house. Those local people there are immensely blessed. KEEP UP THE BEAUTIFUL WORK.
I did something very similar in my bathroom for around $600. Granted, I did all of the work myself though and I know a lot of people aren't comfortable doing that.
As a small time handyman my big money maker is taking out old toilets and installing new ones. The "pros" charge upto $800, I charge $200 and I can do it in 30 minutes.It's a great money maker if you don't have a fear of "icky" jobs and know how to do it properly.It's very easy when you know how.
Rule of thumb. New toilet when you(fully) remodel. Title should of read. "How to lay down ceramic tile"
Radio and m hgyg
I remodeled my entire bathroom 4 days of work after my regular job. Maybe spent about 2,000. Got quotes for 13-15k. About to do this on the side 💰
I need to become a handywoman. $5000 a week sounds great for work I would actually enjoy. You did a great job btw. Not hating on you! Thx for inspiring me!
Let them all complain! The bathroom looks great and updated! Most tradesmen, that know their worth, recognize that a savvy homeowner would rather be paying someone $5000 to aquire the correct materials and do the work properly in 3 days than spend several weekends researching and doing it themselves. Time is valuable to everyone, and for an individual handyman/tradesman with broad "know how" it's valued in cash.
You have to watch the whole video. 5 grand is low low low for a legit master bathroom remodeling but this video is really more of just a quick makeover IMHO
I hope that the baseboard, particularly at the base of the tub is foam or PCV.
It's good to see Wolverine living a happy and productive life after all that stuff that went down in the comics. Who is starting the petition to give Handyman a TV show on HGTV?
Doesnt pat well enough for all the BS and it sounds like he already has more than enough business
This is a nicely done and well assembled video. You are a true craftsman that pays attention to details. You did a lot of things more efficiently than I would have done. Also, the homeowner should have done something with the ratty bathroom door and hardware...not to mention the tub.
📣PSA TO ALL THE HATERS:📣
This world will give you anything you believe you can attain and aggressively seek out.....This man believes in the value he's providing for his clients, and the "right" clients (who are willing to pay for that value) hire him and pay him.
If you're saying "$5K is a lot of money! Nobody could charge that in my area"......etc....I guarantee you will never find the clients that see value in what you provide, and are willing to pay you for it.
Think about what you're saying/doing.....He's showing most of you that you could double your prices and, instead of learning from him, you're trying to make the case that he's "charging too much"......WHY!?🤷♂️
Learn from this man's confidence.💪🏼
- or -
Stay broke and watch other people win on UA-cam.
It's your choice....
Handyman,
Love the content man! Thanks for showing us what's possible in this business!
🔥💰🛠📐💰🔥
Well said!
Get some knee pads! I am in the process of laying tile in my kitchen and hall. Knee pads have been a life saver!
These videos give me so many ideas to help my dads buisness. Can lower his prices if someone will take prefab vs costume cabinets.
Thanks for sharing, you look like you know what you are doing and done in good time, great work!
Two notes, get liquid lock bags to "Freeze" water in bowl before lifting, second, they do make shorter flexible hoses, I know it isn't a fancy bathroom, but I think a shorter one would look a lot better.
This video reminds me of when you fast forward a SIM'S day before they gotta catch their carpool to be at work
Lol
Throw back, lol
100% LOL
I love it! Commenters here don’t realize the unwillingness of wealthy people to do the slightest bit of manual labor. Very few of these “college educated” professionals can so much as hang a picture. If the client agrees to a price then it is a fair price. Another point to the knucklehead commenters, please consider investment in tools, vehicle, maintenance for both, time spent planning, shopping, taxes, insurance, and costs to continually market and maintain your business. There’s more to a job than just showing up at your door.
Nice video. I like that you carefully took out the old vanity instead of destroying it. I hope it was recycled.
I'm not criticizing, but I'm wondering why the baseboard wouldn't go in before the toilet & vanity. It would make the install easier. Customers wanted the toilet in right away?
Did you caulk only on 3 sides of the toilet or did you caulk around it completely?
Also, for anyone who takes on such a project where it might take longer than 2 days, there is a plug that fits inside the closet flange (flange the toilet sits on top of) that keeps sewer gases from coming up. It's a good idea to plug it when the toilet is not on-- not only does it keep stuff from falling down into the drain, it keeps the gas out so it doesn't stink and/or make people sick.
The drain on that sink was an odd configuration.
What is the term for those braces you used to hold the trim on to the tub? I've never seen them before.
Good work isn’t cheap and cheap work isn’t good. A customer pays for the experience of working with a good person whom knows what they’re doing, which includes warranty, which is not charged for. To have a contractor/handyman to call when something happens or you need/want something fixed or beatified is priceless. If you like your contractor/handyman and want him/her to return an do more good work for you, pay them what they’re worth, otherwise they won’t be in business for very long to provide any services for you.
For 5 grand you could have at least cut off the toilet bolts and put on a new set of caps!
Not sure why anyone was so concerned about the 5,000 but you did a great job! I'm looking at options to buy my first home. Debating whether or not I'll buy a fixer upper. If I had your skills, I'd buy one with no problem lol.
Can you post a link to those extension poles that you used to hold up the trim against the tub please. Those looked handy
I have 2 different kind. These ones are pretty good. amzn.to/2eXR7bf I use them to install kitchen cabinets too
Thank you for speeding up the video throughout. It was very helpful. Good clean work.
It's definitely an improvement but I sure as heck wouldn't pay $5,000 for that. No paint, not much of a vanity upgrade, no new toilet, and no new tub and/or shower. The materials couldn't have cost $750, so your labor charge on this is astronomical.
That's what I was thinking, I'm a general contractor, a bathroom that size with a new tub and surround, new shower valve and plumbing, new toilet, floor, fresh paint and trim, with demo I would do for around $5500-$5800...
Depends on your market Tho, pretty sure he's in California people might pay that kind of money out there... I'm in Northeast Pennsylvania that wouldl never fly
Did he mean $500? Cause it’s more in line with that?
@daleon96 I'm in southeast PA. I just did a bathroom. Alittle bigger than this one by the looks of it. Gutted down to studs, new electric, new plumbing. Custom tile shower with niches, glass door and Custom cabinet beside the vanity. For around 9k labor.
I like those extension ratchets to hold base trim by tub. I never seen that cool tool before.
5000 is a good price. These keyboard contractors don’t know what it takes to do a bathroom. A plumber alone just to come out and do the plumbing job will run them a couple of hundred dollars, a tile setter will also run them a couple of hundreds if not thousands, a painter painting the walls and ceiling twice will also charge a couple of hundred dollars, electrician, the demo of course is hard labor worth the few hundred dollars. People don’t realize you have to pay for skills. Skills is obtained through experience, and experience is what pays! Great job handyman
Well ive been doing tile for 35 years for tile alone i wouldnt go over $400 tops that small bath would only take about 4-5 hours to install tile and come back the next day to grout it witch would take about 20 minuits. l would charge 5k for a 200 square foot marble bathroom that can easily be done in 2 days
Are you serious ? What rip off . No wonder the world's going to shit. Three days he made 4000 dollars I'll bet that was real hard labor.
so your saying this was only worth 3400?
The world is full of people that try hard to NOT to make a honest pay . A policeman that puts his life at risk makes 50 60 thousand a year this man just made 3000 to 3500 in 3 days and this is honest pay or skill ? Yet we wonder why things happen as they do . I definitely don't blame the man for making 3500 or even 3000 this is the way of the world .
Times have changed, prices aren't what they used to be 35 years ago. I'm still in the business, in my area this wouldn't draw this kind of money, but if it does in his, more power to him. I might have missed it, did he strongarm the customers heads to get them to sign the contract?
I think I would have gotten charged about 500 for labor here in texas, maybe 1k in materials at most or I would have just done it myself. Granted I would not have done it in 2-3 days but a couple of weekends probably. I think part of the problem is people don't learn to do anything basic themselves and due to taxes, overhead, regulation, etc simple things turn into big charges when hiring it out. I have a busy profession but still love to learn new things and do things myself where I can. Sometimes my own work comes out better than the people we hire since they are in a hurry. Love the multi tool btw!
Why was steel plating used as a subfloor? Just curious. Thanks in advance!
That's not steel plating it's got that look but it's really a underlayment kind of like that concrete sheetrock they use I forget the name but there's lots of different brands out there you can use now
Its totally worth it if you work like its your home, quality matters for some people not only price.
really nice to see the prices also
I would prefer cupboard doors instead of drawers on the vanity. I never like having anything in a room, especially the bathroom, that can block the door from being opened in the case of an emergency. Very nice job though. Thanks for sharing.
as far as instructional videos, this is the way they should be done you covered everything and minimal talk not like some that turn an 8 minute video to a 45 minute documentary.
i've binged watched several handyman videos and then just have a giggle at the sped up whistling.. I love it!
Thanks for watching.
Awesome work! I have also been doing side jobs like what you are doing for some 40 years but only as a way to bring a few extra bucks. Three months ago my wife and daughter invested in a flip and brought me out of retirement to rehab the place. I’m having a blast doing it. Now I can really apply my skills. About to complete this one and go on to the next one. One question for you, I like the vest you are using. I see that you wear it doing all your different tasks. Do any of the tools fall out?
They don't fall out.
At least he is being honest. Good job man
Why didn’t you remove the original linoleum floor and screw hardi backer on top 🤦🏻♂️?
Great video. I admire professional tradies. Years of low apprenticeship pay, early mornings and long working hours while they train to gain the necessary qualifications to make an honest living and to help us. Remember too the physical toll this work does on their bodies. They are professionals and deserve the money if the job is undertaken correctly. (Also, the improved bathroom reno would have increased the owner's home value in excess of the 5k they paid). In Australia we have a growing shortage of good, professional tradies. Fewer young ones want to train and work that hard. FYI Most small basic bathroom renovations here start at $16K.
Kick remodeling, I'm interested in knowing how do you establish your prices for a small IKEA project, good stuff, keep it up bro
Hey man dont let these comments keep you from what your doing. People say thats expensive but when you actually work and put in the time it takes time and money to make money
5grand damn .I want to make money like that .I going to start learning
Good tidy job mine needs doing. I keep watching videos then put it off day after day.
int he future you should try and do a little tutorial on cutting the tile with the saw!
All those critisizing the price, can just take a walk. This is a skilled tradesman's job. For $5,000 its an excellent job.
Lol seems like u get ripped off often, he put tile and a vanity and. Baseboard how is that 5k? And nobody is talking about the work it's the price$$
In Texas a handyman would do that for a grand or less. That cabinet was cheap smh. How is a bathroom remodeled and the same commode used?
Enjoy your videos. Getting ready to install my first bath floor. 24x12 tiles over plywood and will use Ditra under the tile. For the doorway threshold, does the Schulter metal edge trim at the doorway go on top of the Ditra or underneath? Is thinset all I need to use on the threshold trim just like the walls? Thanks.
Would love to see that 5k itemised! 😕
lmaoo, the head shake and sound he makes when he removes the toilet and sees what is below hahaha priceless.
Raise the toilet flange!!! Nice work enjoy these videos.
Just because they make it. Didn't mean it's correct. They make plastic toilet bolts also. You'd probably use that instead of brass.
The toilet leveled out way too quick for a confident seal. You should have to sit on it wiggle it about to form a proper seal between toilet and the flange. There is no compression of the wax. Be sure to chalk all way round this toilet base.
For everyone saying he charges too much, why don't you start your own business and see how much fun it is. Insurance, a shop, a truck, tools and equipment cost a fortune. Plus, you're working your butt off most of the time.
Trying to figure out what is actually 5000
Vanity.tile.medcab.light fixture. LABOR
The Handyman are you pricing it as a floor installer or general contractor laborwise?
Same price either way. I don't sub work out so I usually come in less then contractors that sub all the workout.
I calculate $2500.00 job.
@@TheHandyman1 I think people underestimate how much it costs to get and keep a contracting license & then have to travel to locations & bring the materials & do demo. Tile removal can be very time consuming.
In my area, I got bids from remodelers for a small bathroom like this one for between $10k to $13k, including re-tiling of the bathtub area like he didn't do here, or removing the tub and putting in a shower, and if I wanted to expand the bathroom into the small adjacent bedroom, including a new free-standing tub, with some floor leveling, the cost was estimated at around $30k. It seems ridiculous to me, but, the last couple guys I talked to won't even return my calls, so anymore, with the shortage of construction guys, they can quote whatever they want, and if they don't feel like working for you, they just don't return your calls. Getting bids is more like a job interview - I feel like they are interviewing me and other potential clients and they go with whoever will just hand over their checkbook and not ask any questions or have any concerns about how they do what they do. I feel like putting an ad on Craigslist and offering $5k to the first guy that will do the bathroom for that! In my area, a $5k bathroom remodel would be a great deal! - Hopefully a little better quality and more thorough than this one though. The guys that bid mine were recommended by Nextdoor, so I guess people are just used to getting screwed here. Of course, here, older home prices likely average around $500k and new or newer house prices average around $750k, so I'm sure that makes a difference.
homes here cost the same or more.
How much did you charge? What state your in?
Very nice. I always remove the mirror doors when hanging the cabinet, I'm always paranoid I'll bang it off something when installing it, also it makes it easier without the extra weight.
Hell if youll ever see this comment, whenever you're placing tile start from the back of the room to the front. In your case from the tub to the door. Reason being that when you place your tiles & then stand or kneel on them when bearly put they get un levelled. Meaning when you walk on them barefoot you my cut yourself on a lefted end of tile.
After placing the tiles dont do any work on them till the next work day.
Handyman please tell me what you used to lay over the old tile before you installed new tile
I need to upgrade my client base....
really nice trick drilling those screws back into the old furnishing!
Installed a broken tile under the toilet as well.
nice job! I did not like the mirror choice, but then again not my bathroom. you did the best with what the homeowners chose.
Thanks, It was an off the shelf medicine cabinet from Lowes.
5 grand. Wow. Would like to see breakdown of costs.
labor is expensive. I just did the same thing with my bathroom under $500 my self.
Seriously, I need to start charging more 🤯 I would have charged $700 for the tile, $400 to mount the vanity + connect the sink, $150 for the med cabinet + light, $50 for the baseboard. I would have also caulked between the tub and tile. $1300
you did a great job by yourself!
I think you meant a $500 bathroom.
Sure, in your midwestern trailer park.
@@chriskuhn5683
This is "Midwestern trailer park" worth of supplies..... cheap.... and looks cheap.....
LOL!!! Ikea to the rescue. I just installed one of those floating vanities and had to read the instruction for that wacky drain setup as well. It works well enough, I guess...I hope.
If it only so easy in other parts of the world. We dont have those kind of walls, all of our walls are concrete, we cant knock down walls or drill so easily. Love your videos!!
Adriana Garza you can still drill though concert walls and secure a new bathroom vanity and sink fairly easily with concrete screws or wall plugs. Holes in concrete can be repaired with grout. :)
Cody B-A there’d be no way to make a hole in any of our concrete walls in our old house. Not without compromising the integrity as all the concrete walls were load bearing. All the interior walls you could remove, just not the concrete outer walls, or even knock a new hole in them. It was possible, but it would require hiring a specialized contractor and cost a small fortune.
Drilling holes won't compromise the integrity of a concrete wall. Even cutting huge holes is fine as evidenced by retrofitting airconditioning, vents etc.
Oh wow! I never thought I’d see that basin waste trap in the USA, I’ve been installing them all this week, and to whoever has installed them, or you yourself (Handyman) can agree with me that they’re incredibly annoying!
Material Cost: Est. 750-950
Tools used rental Est. 50-100
Charge for Labor 3500-4500
Great job! Some of the comment people say about your price they don’t understand prices. I just finish a bathroom that some home owner hire out for about 10,000 the home owner had to tell the guy to leave he was doing a terrible job. I step in and finish the job he was very happy. I ask him did he get some bids.He said they were around 20 to25.000 So if you want a cheap job that’s what you get.Again great job👍
Why didnt you have to remove the old flooring and what was the material used on top of it? Thanks. Love watching your vids
It was sheet vinyl flooring I put diamondback board over the top of it. The only reason to remove it would be for for floor height issues. In this case it was beneficial to keep it in so the finished tile would match the wood flooring in the hall way.
Good work !!
Congratulations !!
How much did all the supplies cost?
How much would something like that cost?
Perfect job as slways, you do great work, we love watching you redo spaces, thanks for sharing. Blessings! !!!!!!
The average PROFESSIONAL, COMPLETE remodel in a bathroom that size with a great warranty in the United States falls around $18,000. I sell them for a living and compete against these prices constantly. Bathroom renovations tend to cost more than kitchens. A complete remodel is floors, trim, toilets, vanity, lights, vent, wall accessories, paint and new bathing area, such as tub/shower or shower only. The prices he charges are in the normal range and he does quality work.
Thank you. $5,000 won't get you much in a bathroom remodel. This was just a face lift and not meant to be anything fancy. Thanks again for the comment.
I'm a carpenter from Australia. I have never seen skirting/ baseboard in a bathroom in my life.
Do you guys have waterproofing regulations for bathroom floors over there?
vzgsxr To my knowledge, I don't believe so. However, it usually is assumed that either some type of backerboard is used. Durock is preferred.
in our job sites we use a product called fracture guard. then theirs issues with a floor (squaking). its usually the floor on second floor that needs nails etc etc. if tiles just come loose in certain houses (a few). we use wonderboard. we set them with shit set then nail or screw them. would never tile on the floor directly.
Do you guys have a drain in the middle of the bathroom?
@@miket2951 It was prolly an HVAC vent.
@N. Silva dang never thought id see a nyker here in these comments..how is life on the outside of NYC..? im from queens..Brooklyn (which part)has changed so much...
5,000 sounds about right, maybe a little bit high but, lets not forget the time it takes to handle the removal of the debris on and off the truck (2-3 hrs), handling the pick up of materials (1-2 hrs. )not to mention the time you spend with the customer to pick out materials (2-3 hrs and sometimes longer). drive time between all these actions have to be accounted.
Good idea
Good job but I suggest putting trim before toilet and vanity.
You put a baseboard on the tub side. I've never seen that before. Was that a request by the homeowner?
The bathroom had baseboard glued on the tub when I started the remodel. The old glue ruined the tub. The customer requested that I glue on some new baseboard to cover up the damaged tub. See the video at 1:28
Thank you for getting back to me sir. That makes sense.
Awesome work!
james Campbell I think it look beautiful that way, make the tub look more stylish and put everything together.
I have done it like that with the baseboard on the tub but i put pvc baseboard
good and active, being active is the best help to finish any job, good work thank you.
I love your videos always so perfect
I dont use those wax rings anymore for the toilet, the wax sucks and will eventually leak, and its messy to replace. Use the new rubber ones. They seal better and last forever.
I appreciate the video because I can use it as justification to raise my prices a little. I would do the floor for $600 and the vanity i would do for $400.
$5000 would be a total remodel "Down to the Studs" demo, tile the whole bathroom and install a glass shower, french sink, Moen faucet and shower controls, new light fixtures. And a Mosaic shower floor with black pebbles.
Man, my knees hurt just watching this! You need to get some knee pads brother!
Amazing video . no stupid (distracting ) music , clear n concise / straight to the point. I wish he talked. I feel we missed small tidbits , that could have gone long ways in illustrating things like : how long to leave the grout / glue to dry. Etc
Do you have children or trainees to pass your knowledge and experience too or you always work alone? Often good handymen and tradesmen are not into training others and stick to working by themselves.
My father was a genius worker, but we didn't live together and I didn't see or talk with him much. I have always been a scholar type of guy but in the past a few years I have been showing keen interesting in working on stuff. My father died 12 years ago and I regret I never had the chance to learn what he knew.
drinking and working helps
@ x1777lx. Here's a tip. Look up some woodworking plans online. Buy some basic tools. And just do it. You'll screw up but that's OK. Try again. Watch some UA-cam videos for tips. It can start as a hobby and the more you practice, the more you'll learn. I personally had no father in my life, so to speak, but learned by using common sense and some trial and error. I now have a budding business. I got tired of the suit and tie desk job. Have some confidence and you'll be fine. Oh, btw, try not to cut your fingers off. Safety first.
Cheers.
You're right I'm trying to learn what I can from my pops now
ty shu same boat brother
You might fit in at the houserepairtalk forums. They help people out who want to DIY or who want to make sure a contractor is doing stuff right.
Any benefit to mounting the cabinet to the wall first, then adding the legs?
The directions say the legs are optional. At first I wasn't going to use the legs. After getting it installed. I realized you really do need the legs.
love all these internet warriors that have never touched a tool or have done renos.
telling you from experience in the trade you probably made $3000 give or take. $600 in tiles, mortar, grout, backer board. $400 for vanity and counter top, $40 in baseboard, $200 for the toilet, $40 in paint, $150 for the medicine cabinet and what do you know 4500 plus little odds and ends, including brad nails, caulking, towel bars, hardware, taps, plumbing.
600 in tile? Betting that was 40 sqft of tile at most, mortar is cheap and he probably only needed at most 2 sheets of cement board. I’m not an expert but I’ve remodeled more than one bathroom and 6k is way too much for this $2,000 job. I’m remodeling one in one of my rental properties right now and it’s going to be less than $1,000 with a new tub and tiled shower! Granted, I’m doing all of the work but it’s easy to find tile less than $1 a sqft. I’m glad I don’t hire anyone to do work because I’d be broke
And everything you touch will be terrible and break. Trust me you are gonna cost yourself much more when it goes bad
These armchair experts also aren't factoring in taxes(commercial, self employed, retail) , insurance (commercial liability & health), trucks, truck maintenance, workshop rental space, fuel, etc. The cost of being self employed runs deep, but the freedom obtained from it is priceless. Keep up the good work. Too many people are afraid to charge what they are actually worth.
@@1985Satisfaction - Why would it break? Quoting prices for items has NOTHING to do with quality of work.
It was the same old toilet. The new vanity, faucets, light fixture, and medicine cabinet look cheap compared to what was in there before. I could not believe that after all that was done with the sink, counter top, vanity, and light fixture, they didn't replace that toilet.
Thanks so much for sharing as well as stating the costs of the remodel. I have two bathrooms, one this size and another a bit bigger that both need a full remodel and I have wondered how much it would cost to do it. I don't want to put the old tub back in the smaller bath though, I want a walk in shower instead.
For a full bathroom remodel that doesn't have anything fancy It usually costs around $7500. Fancy master bathrooms usually start at around $10,000. I'm most comfortable doing the smaller basic remodels.
That is good to know. We don't want anything fancy, just the basic tiles and regular toilet, drop-in sink and standard vanity. I don't know what area you are located in, but I'm guessing no where near where we live :)
We can't all just be watching for the remodel right?

ewwwww!
Thank you. Very good handyman. You're really A pro. lOVE IT.
You forgot the most important tool. The radio..
Great job. Thin-set between concrete/hardi-board and floor can reduce possible squeaks and further waterproofing (with vinyle additive). Also, I agree w/below comments: use knee pads. Thumbs-up.
$3500 in labor, Home Depot got the rest.
Even so I'll charge more like 1500 for labor. 3500 a bit much for what he did. 💁
@@josheuasimpson5935 for $1,500 it wouldn't be worth my time when customers are lining up to pay double that to get me in their home.
