Typical price range in Sarasota and nearby areas

In the Sarasota market, a bathroom remodel project most often lands in the **$12,000-$25,000** range.

That is a wide spread on purpose: two projects can be the same size on paper but wildly different in prep,

materials, access, and risk.

What affects cost the most

Here are the biggest variables that shift the range:

• Keep plumbing locations the same

• Standard tile and fixtures

• Limited layout changes

How the project is typically built

A clean process protects your home and reduces surprises:

• Site protection and dust control (floors, vents, adjacent rooms)

• Demolition and inspection of what is behind the walls

• Rough-in work (plumbing, electrical, framing) if needed

• Core build phase (install, waterproofing, board, or framing)

• Finish phase (tile, trim, paint, fixtures, cleanup)

• Final walkthrough and punch list

Common homeowner mistakes that increase cost

• Choosing the lowest bid without comparing scope (apples-to-apples)

• Skipping moisture control, waterproofing, or proper prep

• Assuming materials are in stock or that trades can start immediately

• Not planning for hidden conditions in older Florida homes (water damage, framing issues)
