GOAL OF BLOG
This is for clients who think just because their bathroom is small, their budget should also be small. A small space can have all the luxuries of a large bathroom. We want clients to understand which ideas on the bathroom remodels they see online will add expense to their project and how a small bathroom can easily rise in costs. After reading the blog, they should have a more realistic expectation of how many of their ideas can fit into their budget. A recommended format would be what a 20-30K, 30-40K, and a 50-60K remodel.
15-25K Bathroom Budget
Items that Increase Budget:
-electrical work (exhaust replacement, recessed lighting, adding or adjusting outlets, etc.)

-tile work (smaller format tile like subway wall tile, tile that needs to form a specific pattern like the encaustic tile on their floor, shower recessed niches and soap dishes)
-materials (high-end plumbing fixtures family and finishes – more popular colors and styles are more expensive, shower system (simple head vs. handshower), higher-end tub for more soaking depth or more contemporary styling, quartz countertop, recessed medicine cabinet, grab bars, tub doors)
