If you buy an older house, one of the expenses you may eventually face is a bathroom remodel. That means you’re going to have to have some money set aside.
How Much Is a Bathroom Remodel?
The cost of remodeling a bathroom can vary widely depending on several factors, including the scope of the project, the quality of materials, your location, and whether you’re doing the work yourself or hiring professionals.
On average, bathroom remodeling costs in the United States can range from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars or more. Here are some cost considerations:
A few months ago, we decided to remodel a bathroom in our Georgia home. I knew that I wanted to take an affordable option rather than go all out on the bathroom renovation.
In this article, I’m going to show you all the steps to take to remodel a bathroom for less.
How To Remodel a Bathroom
Before you get started, you need to consider some things:
Scope of the Project
The extent of your bathroom remodel will have the most significant impact on the cost. A minor cosmetic update, such as replacing fixtures and giving the bathroom a fresh coat of paint, will cost significantly less than a full-scale renovation that involves moving plumbing, replacing all fixtures, and changing the layout.
I knew that I wanted to spend around $5,000 on a bathroom remodel. That automatically meant that whoever I hired needed to be a small business owner and not a big conglomerate that hires a bunch of people.
Design and Planning
If you hire a designer or architect to help plan your bathroom remodel, their fees will be an additional cost.
If you’re married, there is a good chance that your spouse may choose to take on this part of the project. Not only will it save you money (like it did in my case) but it can make for a happy home:)
Materials and Fixtures
You also need to decide if you’re going to buy high-end fixtures from boutique vendors or if you’re going to visit your local Home Depot and Lowe’s for the run-of-the-mill products.
The quality and type of materials and fixtures you choose can greatly affect the cost. High-end materials, like natural stone or designer fixtures, will increase the budget.
Labor Costs
Finding affordable contractors has always been a sport in Atlanta, but it’s a necessary endeavor if you want to save more.
If you hire professionals, labor costs will be a substantial portion of your budget. Labor costs can vary by location and the complexity of the work.
Each of these resources has their detractors, but I found a contractor by looking at the following places:
- Angi
- Google Reviews
- Craigslist
Read our guide on hiring a reputable contractor.
Permits and Inspections
As a rule of thumb, in most municipalities, if you tear down an existing wall, you’ll need a permit to get the work done. This is not only a safety protection, but it ensures that local building codes are enforced.
Depending on your local building codes and the extent of the remodel, you may need permits and inspections, which can add to the overall cost.
Demolition and Disposal
One of the most unexpected costs associated with a remodel is demolition and disposal of the trash. Many contractors will build the expenses of trash removal into their fee, but – as I found out – not all of them.
To save money, I chose to physically remove the trash from my home myself, and it was a major headache!
Removing old fixtures, tiles, and other materials can be a labor-intensive process and may require a dumpster for disposal.
Plumbing and Electrical Work
If you need to move plumbing or electrical connections, it will add to the cost of the project as well.
When you hire a contractor for a job that includes skills of the major trades, it is their responsibility to bring tradesmen in on the job to get the work completed.
Unexpected Issues
No matter how well you plan, there is always the possibility of unexpected and unforeseen problems with a remodel.
In my case, an old corroded plumbing pipe added some significant expenses and time to the project. You’ll have to plan for this whenever doing any kind of remodeling project.
Final Word
Remodeling a bathroom or any room in your house is a major task. There are so many pieces you’re going to have to put together to avoid crazy stress or debt problems.
And you also need to hire a reliable contractor that knows how to get the job done in the timeframe you’ve established.

On October 8, an impressive gathering of Atlanta’s leading influencers converged on a multi-million-dollar estate at the The 6th Annual Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic.
This lavish event, conceived by renowned menswear designer Miguel Wilson, and generously sponsored by Bentley Atlanta and The Corbett Group, serves as a fundraiser for the Ride to the Olympics Foundation.
City’s Best Show Out At Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens attended this year’s event as a distinguished guest of honor.
“This year was the best year we’ve had by far,” Wilson said. “We put a lot of work into this event every year, so to see the turnout, and the response blows me away each and every time. One of the things that I am most proud of with the Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic is that we work hard to give one of the most unique and luxurious experiences centered around fashion and polo. We also pride ourselves in treating each ticketholder like they’re a VIP.”

The guest list featured a constellation of notable figures, including Young Jeezy (rapper), Cynthia Bailey (Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta), Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson (HGTV’s Married To Real Estate), actress Demetria McKinney (Tyler Perry’s House of Payne), actor Lamman Rucker (OWN’s Greenleaf), actress Cocoa Brown (Tyler Perry’s For Better or For Worse), and Pastor Jamal Bryant (New Birth Missionary Baptist Church).
In the past six years, the Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic grew from a one-day event to an entire weekend, which started on Friday, October 6, this year. For ticketholders, the weekend kicked off with a welcome party at the Starling Hotel. The next day, Saturday, Oct. 7, was the Polo & Pumps Day party at the Starling Hotel and the Cocktails & Cigars Under the Stars rooftop party at the Thompson Hotel. However, the big event that garnered the most attention and attendance was the signature Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic event on Sunday.
During Sunday’s Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic guests enjoyed a polo match that consisted of some of the top polo players from across the country. Wilson and his wife Chancey Wilson also participated in the match, riding for the same team.
Afterward, guests were privy to a fashion show featuring emerging and established designers with celebrity participants that included Mimi Faust (VH1’s Love & Hip Hop Atlanta), Martell Holt (OWN’s Love & Marriage Huntsville) Ralph Pittman (Real Housewives of Atlanta), actor Michael Bolwaire(BET’s All The Queen’s Men) Damian Hall (of Guy), former NFL Play JaMarcus Russell, who all walked in the event’s fashion show.
R&B singers Q Parker and Lil G (of SILK) performed during the event, while. actor Palmer Williams (Tyler Perry’s House of Payne) served as emcee of this year’s fashion show.
The most important aspect of this event is that its main reason for existence is to serve as a fundraiser for the Ride to the Olympics Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by Miguel Wilson back in 2018. The organization works to provide underprivileged youth with opportunities to participate in equestrian sports.
Since its creation, the organization’s biggest accomplishment was helping to create the Morehouse Polo Club, the first-ever polo team at a Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). Wilson served as a co-founder of the Morehouse Polo Club and was honored for his efforts by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and the State of Georgia.
Ride to the Olympics Foundation is now focusing on creating multiple youth polo teams.
“I’d like to thank Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens for participating in this year’s Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic. His support means a lot to me, in addition to the support that we received this year from Fulton County Arts & Culture (FACE). I’d also like to thank our longtime sponsors Bentley Atlanta and The Corbett Group; as well as all of our vendors who help make this event possible,” Wilson said.
Atlanta has a lot of inspirational people and AtlantaFi.com is going to introduce you to many of them as well as cool places to go, great restaurants and other ATL happenings.

Has Tyler Perry bought BET? There’s no official word yet. What is widely known is that Atlanta movie mogul Tyler Perry is now a billionaire.
The “Madea” creator has made a series of shrewd business decisions over the last 20 years to grow his religious plays into culturally relevant full-length movies with moral endings.
How Tyler Perry Became A Millionaire
Most of Perry’s wealth is tied into his content, which he owns outright. A quarter of his worth comes from Tyler Perry Studios, which he bought from the city of Atlanta and transformed into a historic movie house.
The actual breakdown of Perry’s wealth is this:
- Cash and Investments — $300 million
- Stake in BET+ — $60 million
- Homes and Toys — $40 million
- Film Library — $320 million
- Tyler Perry Studios — $280 million
Perry says he was told that the audience he was catering to wouldn’t be able to support full-feature films.
“ ‘Black people who go to church don’t go to the movies,’ ” Perry told Forbes that he was told back then. “I came from a place where Black people had already embraced me and loved me. I was completely happy there, and still am.”
Perry joins an exclusive list when it comes to being one of the richest businessmen in the state. Here is Georgia’s billionaires club.Read more: Best work from home jobs in Atlanta, Georgia

One thing the common observer immediately notices about Atlanta is the plentiful amount of trees. The greenery is the scenery, as they say.
A recent report from Nearmap, a location intelligence and aerial imagery company, shows the Top 25 Leafiest Capital Cities in America.
What Are Cities With The Most Trees And Leaves?
Atlanta makes the top five in the list, which highlights the country’s top 25 leafiest capital cities.
In Georgia’s largest city, which has been called the “city in a forest,” one reason why it can be compared more “leafy” than most is the region’s tree canopy.
It’s another reason why Atlanta has some of the best parks in the Southeast.
The results of the study were compiled through Nearmap’s proprietary aerial imagery technology and location data from its Nearmap AI platform.
The report identified the top 25 leafiest capital cities and their percentage of total residential tree coverage as:
- Charleston, West Virginia (74.7%)
- Tallahassee, Florida (56.1%)
- Little Rock, Arkansas (54.9%)
- Raleigh, North Carolina (54.7%)
- Nashville, Tennessee (53.5%)
- Atlanta, Georgia (53.1%)
- Annapolis, Maryland (51.0%)
- Concord, New Hampshire (49.2%)
- Jackson, Mississippi (47.5%)
- Augusta, Maine (46.3%)
- Jefferson City, Missouri (43.3%)
- Austin, Texas (43.2%)
- Olympia, Washington (42.9%)
- Columbia, South Carolina (40.1%)
- Richmond, Virginia (39.9%)
- Albany, New York (39.1%)
- Montgomery, Alabama (34.9%)
- Baton Rouge, Louisiana (34.1%)
- St. Paul, Minnesota (33.2%)
- Des Moines, Iowa (31.4%)
- Topeka, Kansas (30.6%)
- Indianapolis City, Indiana (29.5%)
- Springfield, Illinois (27.7%)
- Frankfort, Kentucky (26.3%)
- Columbus, Ohio (26.1%)
Final Word
The Nearmap study is the first and only research of its kind in the U.S. using a high-resolution data set to compare total residential tree cover across capital cities for insurers, commercial construction companies and governments.
