It's no secret that remodeling is expensive. But which room is the most expensive to remodel?
If you're looking for a place to start, we've got good news for you: the bathroom is the most expensive room to remodel. That's according to a survey from Remodeling Magazine, which found that homeowners spend an average of $10,500 on bathroom renovations.
The kitchen came in second at $8,400 per bathroom and the living room was third at $7,200 per bathroom. And while these numbers are averages across all households in each price range, they do tell us something about which rooms are more likely to be remodeled than others.
When it comes to remodeling, the most expensive room is the master bedroom. The average cost of remodeling a master bedroom is $14,000 and if you want to deck out your bathroom with marble countertops, that could cost you about $10,000. Remodeling a kitchen will cost you around $5,000 and an office starts at $3,500.
If you're looking to remodel your home, you're probably wondering what the most expensive room to remodel is. The answer depends on a variety of factors, but here's a quick rundown:
The kitchen costs the most because it's the largest room in the house and requires more work than other rooms. You'll likely need to replace cabinets and countertops, which can cost up to $10,000 per bathroom.
The master bedroom is also expensive because it's where many people spend the most time and money on their home. Replacing an old carpet with wood flooring will cost $3,000 or more per room. Replacing an old faucet can cost as much as $1,000 per bathroom.
If you want a new roof on your home (and who doesn't), you'll typically pay between $5-$7 per square foot when replacing it with a new style of shingle or tile.
