Most full mid-range remodels run $22,000 to $48,000. A cosmetic refresh can start near $8,500; primary suites can reach $95,000.

Local trade labor is expensive, and PNW bathrooms need careful waterproofing and ventilation.

Keep the layout, pick finishes before work starts, and hold a contingency for older homes.
