When it comes to design build remodels for your bathroom, there’s no one-size-fits-all guide to costs. That’s because the design build model is inherently focused on customization, differentiation, and, above all, an aesthetically beautiful result tailored to the home owner’s personal taste and needs. As always, the surest way to prepare your budget for your own remodel is to discuss your project with your remodeler.
That said, every remodel begins with preliminary cost research, and the bathroom is no different. To help you prepare for your initial consultation, we’ve compiled information representing the average costs of bathroom remodels in Chicago’s Northwest suburbs by neighborhood.
Chicago Area Bathroom Remodel Costs by Scale
In general, bathroom remodels are still known for generating a relatively high ROI. Alongside kitchen remodels and minor fixes like replacing the garage door, replacing windows, updating siding, adding a deck, etc., bathroom remodels continue to rank well as a home improvement investment. Interestingly, though we usually assume that smaller updates return a proportionally higher ROI when it comes to bathrooms, Cost vs. Value seems to indicate otherwise.
According to the Remodeling 2020 Cost vs. Value Report (www.cost vs value.com), midrange bathroom remodels typically cost $27,480 and return $14,641 for a cost recoup of 53.3%. Upscale bathroom remodels come in at $81,857 and return $44,308 at resale for a cost recoup of 54.1%. Universal bathroom remodels also do well (please see full report for specific numbers).

Gather Inspiration, Set a Vision

Your design-build remodeler can better help you estimate the cost if you take a little time to gather inspiration and set an overall vision. While there are many great resources available online, one helpful way to visualize options for your end goal is to view pictures of previous remodeling projects completed by your contractor.
