Bathroom remodels are the project homeowners around Marianna ask us about most — and the one with the widest range of answers. Here is how the money actually breaks down, from the crew that has tiled showers from Jackson County to the beach.
The Short Answer
| Scope | Typical Range (installed) | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh | $8,000 – $15,000+ | New vanity, fixtures, toilet, paint, flooring — layout stays put |
| Full remodel | $15,000 – $35,000+ | Gut to studs, custom tile shower, new everything, same footprint |
| Remodel + layout change | $30,000 – $60,000+ | Moving walls or plumbing, expanding the room, high-end finishes |
Honest local ranges, not a quote — your house, your finishes, and what we find behind the walls all move the number. A written scope is free.
Where the Money Actually Goes
1. The shower is the project
A custom tile shower — pan, waterproofing, tile, glass — is routinely a third of a full remodel. Waterproofing is the part you will never see and the part that decides whether your remodel lasts twenty years or leaks in three. It is also where cheap bids cut first.
2. What is behind the walls
Older Jackson County homes surprise us: undersized drains, corroded valves, soft subfloors around the toilet. We scope known risks up front and agree in writing on how hidden damage gets handled before demo day — no mystery invoices.
3. Moving plumbing
Keeping the toilet, shower, and vanity where they are saves real money. Moving them buys you a better layout — sometimes worth every dollar — but that is a decision to make on purpose, with both numbers in front of you.
4. One licensed company vs. a parade of subs
Bathrooms touch plumbing, electrical, framing, and tile. JB’s holds state licenses for the trades and self-performs the work — one schedule, one point of contact, one company accountable for the whole room. See our remodeling page for how we run projects.
Timeline
A full same-footprint remodel typically runs two to four weeks of on-site work once materials are in hand. Tile, glass, and vanities have lead times — ordering before demo is how we keep your house from sitting torn up.
Getting a Real Number
We measure, talk through finishes at your budget level (not ours), and hand you a written scope with assumptions and exclusions spelled out. If you are comparing bids, compare the paper — the cheapest number with the vaguest scope is the most expensive bathroom in town.
