Bathroom Renovation Costs in the DMV Area

Bathroom renovations in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia typically range from $5,000 to $25,000 depending on the scope. Here is what each tier looks like:

Basic Refresh: $3,000–$7,000

New vanity, updated fixtures (faucet, showerhead, towel bars), fresh paint, new mirror, and updated lighting. This is ideal if your bathroom is functional but dated. Most basic refreshes can be completed in about a week.

Mid-Range Remodel: $7,000–$15,000

At this level, you can expect new tile flooring, a tiled shower or tub surround, a new vanity with countertop, updated plumbing fixtures, paint, and potentially a new toilet. This is the most popular tier for DMV homeowners and typically takes 1–2 weeks.

Full Renovation: $15,000–$30,000+

A complete bathroom overhaul includes gutting the space, new plumbing, waterproofing, custom tile work (floors, walls, shower niches), a new vanity or floating cabinet, premium fixtures, heated floors, glass shower enclosures, and upgraded ventilation. Full renovations typically take 2–3 weeks.

What to Look for in a Bathroom Contractor

The quality of your bathroom renovation depends heavily on the contractor you choose. Look for someone who is licensed and insured, has strong online reviews from local customers, provides a detailed written estimate, communicates proactively throughout the project, and cleans up at the end of each day. Ask to see photos of past bathroom work and check if they handle the full scope (tile, plumbing, paint, fixtures) or subcontract parts of it.
