Cost of a Bathroom Remodel in NJ & Philadelphia
A bathroom renovation can feel like a big step, but it doesn’t have to feel out of reach. Most people are surprised to learn that a full remodel is far more doable once you understand how the process works.
That’s why a design-build approach makes such a difference. One team handles the planning, design, and construction—so you’re not bouncing between different people or guessing what things will cost. The budget stays clearer, decisions get easier, and the whole project feels much more straightforward.
You end up with a space that looks great, works well, and comes together without the stress that usually comes with remodeling.
Standard full bathroom: $25K-40K
A standard full bathroom is usually around 36–40 square feet. That footprint fits the basics—a toilet, a sink, and a tub-shower combo—so it works well for guest baths or secondary bathrooms. A project in this range may include:
- Complete demolition
- Minor framing adjustments
- New plumbing fixtures installed in existing locations
- Electrical installations
- Insulation
- Drywall installation
- Baseboard trim
- Fixtures, faucets, and shower components from brands like American Standard, Kohler, Moen, and Delta
- Porcelain tile for shower and flooring
- All-wood vanity with drawers
- Quartz countertops
- Framed mirror above the sink
- Painting
- Debris removal
*Exclusions: Decorative light fixtures and permit fees.
Primary Bathroom: $40K-65K
Larger full bathrooms generally fall in the 40–70 sq ft range, giving you extra breathing room compared to a standard layout. With that added space, you can work in upgrades like double sinks, a separate shower and tub, or other features that make the room feel more comfortable and polished. Upgrades may include:
- Complete demolition
- Structural framing
- Minor plumbing adjustments
- Custom shower with glass enclosure
- Optional tub installation
- Electrical upgrades
- Insulation
- Sheetrock and cement board applications
- Baseboard trim
- Plumbing fixtures from American Standard, Kohler, Moen, and Delta
- Enhanced shower accessories
- Porcelain tile for shower, flooring, and partial wall coverage
- Solid wood vanity (single or double) with storage drawers
- Quartz countertops
- Framed mirrors above sinks
- Interior painting
- Complete debris removal
- Lifetime warranty on craftsmanship
*Excluded: Decorative light fixtures and permit costs
High End Large Primary Bathroom: $65K-100K+
A primary bathroom is usually the largest and most feature-packed space in the house, designed to sit right off the main bedroom. These rooms tend to range anywhere from about 75 to 100 square feet, with some layouts stretching well beyond that in newer homes.
Because of the extra square footage, there’s typically room for everything— a toilet, a separate shower, a tub, and double sinks. And if you want a more elevated feel, this is where you can bring in things like a sculptural standalone tub, warm metal fixtures, or classic marble accents. These projects will often include:
- Complete space gutting
- Wall repositioning
- Optional window replacements
- Framing work
- Relocating plumbing
- Spacious custom walk-in shower with custom glass
- Soaking tub
- Enhanced fixtures
- Electrical upgrades and modifications
- Electric floor heating
- Insulation
- Sheetrock installation
- Trim work, including crown molding
- Custom luxury double vanity
- Porcelain or natural stone tile for shower, walls, and floor
- Linen storage solutions
- Quartz countertops
- Framed mirrors above sinks
- Painting throughout
- Debris removal
*Exclusions: Decorative light fixtures and permit fees. Note prices will vary based on sourced materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost in New Jersey?
Most bathroom remodels in New Jersey and the Philadelphia area range from $25,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the size of the bathroom and the scope of the project. A standard full bathroom typically falls between $25K-$40K, while a large primary bathroom with high-end finishes can run $65K-$100K+.
What’s Included in a Bathroom Remodel Price?
Our pricing includes demolition, plumbing and electrical work, insulation, drywall, tile, vanity and countertops, mirrors, painting, and debris removal. Fixtures come from brands like American Standard, Kohler, Moen, and Delta. Decorative light fixtures and permit fees are not included in the base price.
Does the Price Include Permits?
No. Permit fees are excluded from our pricing, though we handle obtaining all necessary permits as part of the renovation process so you don’t have to manage that separately.
Why Does Bathroom Size Affect the Price So Much?
A standard bathroom (36-40 sq ft) fits the basics: a toilet, sink, and tub-shower combo. A primary bathroom (40-70 sq ft) has room for upgrades like double sinks or a separate shower and tub. A large primary bathroom (75-100+ sq ft) can include a soaking tub, custom walk-in shower, and heated flooring. More square footage means more materials and labor, which raises the cost.
Is a Design-Build Approach More Expensive Than Hiring Separate Contractors?
Not typically. A design-build approach often keeps costs more predictable because one team manages the entire project, from design through construction. That means fewer miscommunications between designers and builders, and a clearer budget from the start.
Are Prices Different for a Bathroom Remodel in Philadelphia vs. South Jersey?
Pricing can vary somewhat between our Philadelphia and South Jersey service areas due to differences in local licensing and labor costs. Size and scope of the project still have the biggest impact on your total price, but we’ll walk you through any location-specific factors during your estimate.”
