Bathroom Remodeling Specialist
Focus on bathroom renovations and remodeling transforming bathrooms from outdated to modern with new fixtures, tile, and finishes
Overview
Bathroom remodeling specialists renovate bathrooms - updating fixtures, tile, vanities, showers, and completely transforming bathroom spaces.
Bathrooms are second-most popular remodeling projects after kitchens.
Bathroom remodels range from $10,000-$50,000+ with 25-40% margins.
Completing 25-60 bathroom projects annually generates $250,000-$900,000 in revenue with 25-40% net margins.
Target clients include homeowners updating master bathrooms, property flippers and investors, aging-in-place modifications, pre-sale remodeling, multi-bathroom home updates, and luxury bathroom clients.
Services include bathroom design and planning, tile and shower installation, vanity and fixture installation, plumbing and electrical updates, accessibility modifications (walk-in showers, grab bars), and waterproofing and ventilation.
Success requires tile and waterproofing expertise, plumbing and electrical knowledge or subcontractors, bathroom design and space planning, understanding accessibility and aging-in-place, working efficiently in small spaces, and potentially certifications in aging-in-place or universal design.
Many bathroom remodelers specialize in bathroom types (luxury spa bathrooms, accessible aging-in-place, budget updates), offer tub-to-shower conversions, potentially focus on one-week bathroom remodels, work with plumbing showrooms for referrals, market to seniors for accessible bathrooms, and build portfolio through dramatic before/after transformations.
