The time it takes to gut and rebuild a bathroom from scratch (remodeling) and the cost per square foot for labor can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the size of the bathroom, the complexity of the remodel, the location, and the level of customization and materials used. However, I can provide you with some general estimates.
Timeframe: A typical bathroom remodel can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks, assuming the work is being done full-time, without any unexpected delays or complications. This includes the time for demolition, plumbing, electrical work, tiling, installing fixtures, and completing the finishing touches.
Cost per square foot for labor: Again, this can vary based on location and the specific scope of the project, but on average, labor costs for a bathroom remodel can range from $50 to $150 per square foot. Keep in mind that this cost only covers the labor expenses and does not include materials, permits, or any additional services like design fees.
To get a more accurate estimate, it's best to reach out to local contractors and request quotes based on your specific bathroom size and desired remodeling plan. They can provide you with a detailed breakdown of costs and a more accurate timeline based on the project's unique requirements. Additionally, obtaining multiple quotes from different contractors can help you compare prices and find the best option for your budget and preferences.
