Reply to comment by roobinsteen in Rowhouse bathroom addition contractor recommendations? by andrewbt

It just surprises me is all. That's almost a quarter of my entire house just for one bathroom.

I hear you, the costs for major projects like kitchens and bathrooms are surprising to many homeowners. It's less surprising once you realize how complex these projects are, especially in remodel situations, as well as the staggering cost of the materials involved. Contractors aren't getting rich off of these, generally.

I didn't think my kitchen was all that complex, but I did have to rebuild basically everything, including new framing because the old framing was done completely wrong. I had joists sitting on raw brick and no sill plate.
