Estimated cost: Bathroom Remodeling: Mid-size project
$8,000 to $17,500
Typical: $12,000
Based on construction prices in the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ area (ZIP 11201, Brooklyn, NY).
In this metro area, half of the hired bathroom projects that households reported in the 2023 American Housing Survey cost less than $12,500, small updates and full remodels together (45 projects).
Estimate confidence: High. Based on a large set of real projects and a price level observed directly for this area.
Mid-size project: The middle of what households paid contractors for a bathroom remodel, often a fuller update of fixtures and finishes in the existing layout. The survey records cost, not scope.

How It Works
How This Estimate Works
An estimate, not a quote
The estimate describes published public data, adjusted for the area. It is not a quote and not a Goodhaus price.
Priced for your area
The area adjustment is set for the metro area (or the state outside metros). ZIP codes in the same area get the same adjustment.
Same scope, local prices
The area adjustment reflects construction price levels for the same scope. Local habits in project size or finish are not included. In the survey, spending rises with home value, so owners of high-value homes often spend at the upscale end or above.
From a smaller update to a full remodel
The three levels are parts of what households reported paying contractors to the Census Bureau, from a smaller update to a full remodel, not fixed scope packages.
The full remodel range
Full remodel is the upper quarter of hired projects (75th to 95th percentile). Permitted full remodels in San Francisco fall in this band at that area's price level.
Local figures
Where the survey has enough projects in your metro area, the median that local households reported is shown beside the estimate; it mixes small and full projects.
Room size
Room size is not used because the public data do not record it; an unusually large or small room can fall outside the range.
