7 Smart Strategies for Bathroom Remodeling

Here’s how to get the bathroom of your dreams without making your budget a nightmare.

You dream about a bathroom that’s high on comfort and personal style, but you also want materials, fixtures, and amenities with lasting value. Wake up! You can have both.

An average bath remodel of $16,724 will recoup 70% of those costs when it’s time to sell your home, and a more extensive $54,115 job returns 59.8%.
