Design and Planning: $1,500 - $3,500 for professional design services that reflect your vision. This is not mandatory. We are more than happy to guide you through the design process.

Demolition: $1,000 - $2,500.

Plumbing: $3,000-$6,000 for the plumbing scope of the project. Typically in Boston, MA it costs $1,000 per fixture a plumber works on. For example a simple bathroom remodel has four plumbing fixtures that will be worked on which includes your tub, shower system, toilet and vanity. This would be $4,000-$4,500 depending on the job. I would then allocate an allowance per the fixture material. A tub can range in price from $500-$1,000. The vanity faucet price can range from $50-$500. The shower system will typically cost $200-$1,000. I would plan to pay $250-$400 for a toilet.

Electrical: $2,000-$5,000 for the electrical scope of work. This can differ as it depends if your electrical is up to code. As a lot of homes in Boston are older it is not uncommon to need to bring the electrical to code which can add cost. It also depends on what you select for your light fixtures as they range in price quite a bit.

Tile: $2,400+ for the tile scope of work. Tile pricing can vary quite a bit as some tile is harder to work with than others. The pricing will also vary based on if you are creating a shower stall or just tiling the walls of a shower around a bathtub. The price of tile varies quite a bit as well.

Carpentry: $2,500+ for the carpentry scope of work. The carpentry scope of work typically considers sheetrock, plaster and finish carpentry. This pricing can vary quite a bit depending on what the scope of work is and what materials are used. The average vanity I purchase tends to be around $500.

General Conditions: A general contractor will have another price line item called “General Conditions”. This line item is used to cover direct costs to run the project. Some examples of this would be having some money put aside for existing conditions protection, final clean or disposal fees.
